2013 I thnk. Googled, found GATR. What caught my attention was "any 4x4 vehicle, not just Jeeps" I was new to wheelin and wanted a place that me and my truck would be welcome. Found it!
My first ride was the first annual cook out Trey mountain ride. Ha, I put it in 4 low for the whole ride! Now I do most of it in 2 wheel.
I think for new members it should be required to read about "tread lightly" even before joining as a guest. People just don't know, I was one of them. Awesome club, awesome members, awesome info.
