As of Saturday the 21st of June, 2008. Big Rubbers Custom 4x4 Club Inc. became the first 4x4 club in the WORLD to ever become a chartered organization to the Boy Scouts of America. We will be sponsoring our very own Venturing Crew to help mold the minds of our future generation of leaders ages 14-20, this is a co-ed Program. We will be teaching them everything from wilderness survival, proper trail etiquette, search and rescue, as well as many other important things for day to day survival. This is a major step for responsible organized wheelers. All organized wheelers i have ever met portray a positive image towards what we love to do, its nice to help make the public aware that all wheelers do not just go out to tear up the land or beat up their rigs.
Unfortunately,there are still those few that just don’t care about anyone or anything that make a bad name for all of us.

» big rubbers history and purpose |
It all started as an off-road club by a few guys in the Air Force in 1996. The club was formed primarily for Air Force Personnel only, but when i got out i saw an opportunity to benefit the community and all 4x4 enthusiasts by making the club open to the public. We have grown to be good friends stretched across the United States. We love our 4x4 vehicles. All members have a willingness to help other 4x4 enthusiasts and charities with their vehicles and time. The club promotes a positive attitude towards our fellow man and our environment.
"BIG RUBBERS" actually means the big tires we use, for those of you of you who thought something else. We are a PA state registered Non-Profit Organization headquartered in Windber, PA. We are a family orientated club dedicated to increasing members' knowledge of safe and fun four wheeling. We welcome members of any driving ability. All we require is following all safety rules and bringing the right attitude to the trail. The most important thing is that everyone HAS FUN! Our on-trail rules are basically to use common sense. We follow the "Tread Lightly" policy, as all Off-Roaders should. Remember, as our favorite trails could also be the favorite trails of hikers, hunters, ATV riders, etc., and we would be sharing them, so trail etiquette is always practiced. We never blaze a new trail to avoid an obstacle, or for any reason. We always try to pack out, (trash), more than we pack in with us. Our club is comprised of 3 divisions: 1.) The Tour team (competition show & shine vehicles) 2.) The Off-Road team (anything that has to do with Off-Roading) 3.) The ATV team (if you just want to get out and ride your quad along with us). Throughout the years our members have competed in various show & shine competitions, off road competitions, and just general trail rides all over the state. We have a wide variety of vehicles and individuals whom represent the club in a positive manner.
OUR PURPOSE: The BIG RUBBERS Custom 4x4 Club inc. exists to bring members together for family-oriented fun and the enjoyment of our natural surroundings. BIG RUBBERS Custom 4x4 Club Inc. shall work in concert with other groups and organizations for the purpose of maintaining and keeping open existing trails, organizing events and participating in other activities, such as Charity fund raisers.
CLUB OBJECTIVE: The objective of the club is enjoyment. Of each others company and the great Outdoors. Each member must decide on his or her own, whether or not to attempt an obstacle. All vehicles should stick to the trail whenever possible and respect the environment. All members are expected to clean up after themselves, and, if possible, to leave the area cleaner than you found it.
EVENTS: If a member’s vehicle is stuck, all other members must wait until the vehicle is freed. Members are not required to help extract the vehicle or perform other work on the trail; however, a team effort is not only appreciated but is in keeping with the spirit of the sport. Vehicles may be left in the stuck position provided there is a consensus among the members that it can be done so safely. No member will be left behind.
Recommended equipment should include, but shall not be limited to: • ABC fire extinguisher • First aid kit • Tow strap • Tools • Spare tire • Axe • Shovel • CB radio, battery must be tied down. Spare parts, such as u-joints, axle shafts, drive lines and basic tune up parts are also recommended. Every rig should have recovery points in both the front and rear of the vehicle. Each member should have a thorough understanding of their vehicle, as well as being capable and prepared to repair their vehicle should the need arise.
This is a family-oriented organization and all members will act accordingly. All members will be responsible for the behavior of their family members and guests. Any member or guest acting in an inappropriate manner may be asked to leave. If the situation is repeated, club membership may be terminated at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
