[Reef]

Hey everyone... Im new to the site and Im a first time Jeep owner... I just PCSd here to Hickam AFB and bought myself a 2008 Rubicon... Im looking for anyone else out there that is already in the know of Oahu's trails and maybe some local clubs. Ive never done off-roading or climbing but Im wanting to get into it. Anyone with some info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Cool. I went to your site, looks like you guys have some fun. Do you have families come out or is it more just the guys type of thing?

reef, you need to look into the site a little better, we are a family friendly club.

Awesome! Sounds like it should be good fit for us then... I had a 67 Mustang that I rebuilt back on the mainland and we were constantly in clubs there... we love that "family" feel... we look forward to meeting you guys... right now we are pretty busy trying to get our housing situation set up but once we are settled you can bet we will be looking for you guys. Thanks for the replies.

I appreciate the invite... but we spent the day out at Bellows... Please keep me updated of any outings, Id love to come out and meet you guys once we get settled... I think we may have found our home... it will be temporary until we get called for housing on Hickam. Thanks again!

i wonder how old that list, did have a few bad apples and they attempted to make there own club but they all fell of the earth and the club died. we may still have a couple that damage things but i do not know for sure.

as for the guy that attended the meeting i cannot but help to think that he may have not introduced himself or may have done something to possibly offend somebody before getting used to the club. unfortunatly i have not been to a meeting in a few months due to work, but the last really big meeting i did go to had about 5 new people and they were all ordering drinks. we dont do the drinking thing at meetings or on the trail, mainly so we can keep from being the people as you described above.

enough of the bad talking though, its not neccesary. i only have a couple of days left on island so i will no longer be pulling to much for them but i will still direct people toward them.

if you and your other offroad buddies want to help out with the support of offroading in hawaii then check out www.hawaii4x4association.org (http://www.hawaii4x4association.org) they are working with the state departments to open up trails on all islands with us them taking the responsibility of upkeep.
