The Southern California Toyota Land Cruisers is a Chapter of the International Toyota Land Cruiser Association. We are active in all fields which relate to our sport, off-road adventure. This includes active support for both TLCA and the California Association of 4WD Clubs that includes trail maintenance, political awareness, family outings, and just going out and getting dirty on a weekend having fun. Everyone is invited to join us, no matter what Land Cruiser you drive, from all terrain to mall terrain. Even if you drive something else, you can tag along, since we know you`ll upgrade to a Cruiser before long.

Club Meeting – Sunday, January 5 at 3:00 P.M.
Thanks again to Rich for volunteering his Modjeska Canyon lot for our meetings. Directions to Rich’s property are as follows: The property address is 17336 Croatian St., Silverado 92676. To get there, turn off
Santiago Canyon Road on to Modjeska Canyon Road. Go just about 1/2 mile and turn right on Croatian. Go to the cul-de-sac and the property is on the left. There are no buildings, just dirt and trees. Since it’s an outdoor venue with no lighting, let’s meet at 3:00 PM. Bring your favorite camp chair, and your own food & drinks – just like we do on our club runs.
We are open to rotating locations, based on member preferences, as long as the location has sufficient space for members and rigs, is outdoors, and isn’t typically crowded on Sunday afternoons. Best wishes, and I look forward to seeing you on the trail or at upcoming meeting.
DUES REMINDER
If you haven’t already paid your 2025 club dues ($25), will you please get them in to Jerry (Jerry@TemboTusk.com)? A membership application can be found HERE. Thanks!

Club Membership
The SoCal TLCA is your Southern California chapter of the International Toyota Land Cruiser Association.
Our member’s four-wheeling interests range from roaming mild forest service roads to long-distance back country travel (overlanding) to hardcore rock crawling. Everyone is invited to join us! Naturally, we love our Land Cruisers, but any Toyota is a good Toyota. And even if you’re not currently driving a Toyota you’re welcome to tag along. We love to be out on the trail, so while we may kid you a bit in your choice of rig, we’ll always be glad to have you along.
For questions about the club, please reach out to Club President Katelin Petrulio at (email coming soon), and if you’re on Instagram, follow us @socaltlca.
Dues are $25: Cover the cost of the website, email exchange, Annual Beach Party, Holiday Dinner, etc. After 15 years with no dues increases, at our December 2019 meeting the club voted a modest $10/year dues increase to ensure we are financially able to meet our club goals. All club duties will continue to be fulfilled on a strictly volunteer basis.
