The Auckland 4WD club was formed in 1969 by a group of enthusiasts some of who are still members of the club today. We trust that your enquiry will be the start of a similar long and happy association for you.

We are primarily a family oriented club catering for 4WD trips to areas not easily reached other than by 4WD vehicles. We try to cater for different levels of driving skill from the ab initio, to more challenge tracks for the more experienced, and even up to competition level. We have members who compete in the National 4WD Trials series and also the International Warn Winch Challenge event.

The club runs day and weekend trips, night trials, charity runs, clean up days in conjuction with the regional council, a yearly snow trip and more. We are engaged in environmental preservation and support the " Tread Lightly" program.

We run at least one to two club trips per month, sometimes more. These vary from scenic touring day trips, campout weekends and extended holiday trips further field. We have designated trip leaders who are responsible for running each trip and ensuring that it is conducted in a safe manner. We are equipped with emergency safety kits for the unlikely event of an accident. Medical supplies, thermal blankets, emergency locator beacons and grid maps are just some of the things we carry in these kits.

The club produces a monthly magazine that keeps all members informed on up coming trips and any other important events. Members are encouraged to write about their experiences on these or any other trips they may have participated in.

A monthly club meeting is run for all members and any visitors who may wish to attend. It is held on the third Monday of each month, at 8pm, at The Auckland Vintage Car Clubrooms, 39 Fairfax Ave Penrose. Stories of past runs are told, video of previous months trips are shown and information on forth coming trips are provided. Over a cup of tea after the business side of the proceedings, informal sharing on vehicles, tracks and events occurs. This is often the most valuable part of the meeting.
