Diablo 4 Wheelers Club Info

The Diablo 4 Wheel Drive Club was formed in September 1965 with the purpose of promoting four wheeling. The founding members also wanted to participate in community service activities and enjoy and protect our natural resources. Needless to say, Diablo 4 Wheelers have continued to uphold these standards.

Over the last 46 years the Club has been very active, and today we have over 80 members and are growing. For the last 27 years our members have helped out with the annual March of Dimes Walk-A-Thon in Walnut Creek. Four years ago we became involved with Camp Wamp (Wilderness Access Mountain Program). Each summer over a three week period we help to transport kids with special needs in and out of Lake Hawley who get to spend a week at this camp. Lake Hawley is owned by the Contra Costa Youth Council which was started by State Senator John Nejedly and is now run by his son Jim Nejedly. We are members of CA4WDC, Blue Ribbon Coalition and Members are on committees for the Cal 4 Wheel Winter-Fun-Fest as well as Sierra Trek. Over the years the Club has donated monies to many non-profit groups, we have sponsored kids to summers camps for the blind as well as the Wampler Kids Program.

D4W is involved in the Adopt-A-Trail program, and for the last 24 years has maintained the Bear Valley Loop in the Tahoe National Forrest outside of Truckee. The Club also has adopted Sardine Lookout helping to restore it so that it can be used and appreciated by others and be available for future generations. History of our parks and conservation is very important to the club!

Most of our D4W Memberships are families. We really enjoy four wheeling together and have lots of laughs. Some of our Members started out riding in car seats in the back of their parents’ jeep and now are Members themselves with their families. Our Members range from teens to the “seasoned citizens”. We have very experienced as well as “newbie” off-roaders.

We do a variety of runs from mild to wild, as they say. The Club has monthly trips starting out with our snow run in January and then in February during Presidents' day weekend it’s off to Death Valley to explore different areas of Death Valley. We reserve Area 5 at Hollister Hills State Vehicular Recreation Area in May & November to test our own vehicles as well as help guide the new members to the world of safe, fun and responsible wheeling. Each Memorial Day weekend we plan trips to Nevada and the Gold Country. We also have get-togethers from time to time, such as dinners, BBQ's and Christmas parties. Seasonally, we have safety clinics, inspections, Christmas tree runs, snow runs and help out with March Madness - an event put on by 4 Wheel Parts Wholesalers.

The Club has many different vehicles, from stock to extreme rock crawlers. Depending on your skill and rig, you can pick and choose your runs, whether it be the Rubicon, Fordyce or some of our SUV runs. Some of the best times are in the evening around the campfire when you share all of your experiences of the day.

Diablo 4 Wheelers is based in Concord, California. We have monthly Club Meetings.
