I'm not yet, but there is a local Toyota 4x4 club I'd like to join and you're required to be a member of TLCA.

tigerfan00 · 01-12-2009, 07:19 PM

i'm sort of a member of tread lightly...and i try to practice it whenever possible on land other than my own

I'm a paying member of HXC and at the time I joined part of my membership dues went to TL

I'm in line for a semi-promotion at work along with a couple other things and once i'm back to being stable i'll begin contributing again

timmer · 01-12-2009, 08:52 PM

tread lightly is really a mind set . its just like being Kind to the land.
besides treading lightly is so much more important than paying a few bucks. I mean its nice to contribute and there some neat benifits but getting the message out there by word and example is the most important thing. And I salute you for doing so

I'd bet you a TLCA membership they will still let you hang out with them untill you can get your dues payed up. Most of them have wide open fun runs when even jeepers

can roll.

this should be a public poll so we can kick the shit out of the people who say "tread lightly is for pussies"

on our meet there was a chic in a 1st gen who was nothing short of a tool, she was nice but not very polite on the trail

she told us before we left that she "would not help pull ANYONE out if they got stuck"

then on the trail she was extremely unsafe positioning herself directly in the middle of our group and drove 10 mph slower than the rest of the group dividing us into two seperate groups and she would stop and take pictures every mile or so holding up the second group even more.

the final thing that pissed me off was when we hit this huge mud hole where two of the 2WDs got stuck she wanted them to drive up on the side of a hill that was never driven on and a lush green desert area. Myself and the lone FJ driver told her to fuck off and "tread lightly". Needless to say she will not be invited to wheel with us again

It's people like that that give ORer's a bad name. They get parks closed...stay at home or obey the rules!

I'm trying to find where I can fit in with local clubs, so I was a guest last night at Cascade Cruisers (a TLCA Chapter)

timmer · 08-21-2009, 03:18 PM
