What We Do
The Santa Barbara 4-Wheel Drive Club (SB4WD) is a local chapter of the California Association of 4WD Clubs (CAL4WHEEL). We are open for membership and welcome people of all skill levels that are interested in off-roading.
Our members enjoy all types of off-roading, including scenic trails, sand sports, rock crawling, even snow — we do it all! Club events are family-friendly and focus on safety, fun, and the preservation of our sport & the environment.
Club History
Four families formed the club in February of 1964. Within a year they grew to nine families from across Santa Barbara County.
From these early days where the focus was on local adventures, the club has grown to over 50 members. Trips are regularly taken across most of California with occasional adventures into Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. Baja remains as a destination of interest, along with Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming. Pitch us your adventure idea, we are open to new adventures!
Club Meetings
Meetings are held every month on the first Tuesday of the month starting at 7:00 pm and usually last an hour.
We are currently meeting at Rusty’s Pizza Parlor [4898 Hollister Ave, Santa Barbara, CA 93111]
Get there a bit early and get yourself some food, and sit down and enjoy! Find out where we have been & where we are planning to go. You’ll meet some of our members and who knows, maybe you’ll want to use your rig for more than getting to work!
