Are you a San Diego area resident who owns a Land Rover vehicle but does not know what that small shift lever that says "Locked Low" means? Or are you a three time Camel Trophy winner who thinks the Paris to Dakar Rally is for sissies? Either way, the Land Rover Club of San Diego offers local area Rover owners a chance to learn or share their knowledge about these remarkable vehicles with other enthusiasts.

Club Meetings

Our informal monthly meetings take place at 630pm at Premier Rover(8390 Miramar Place, San Diego CA 92121. Phone: 858-344-4455) and the meetings are always on Tuesdays. Members get together to share experiences, share reviews of recent outings, and discussions about upcoming trips. Photo or video presentations of recent tirps, safety, education, or technical fourms are also common topics at our monthly meetings.

4-Wheeling Trips/Overland Trips

We try to go on at least one outing every month, with trips ranging from road rallies, to hardcore modified-only vehicle events.

If you want to keep your Rover relatively dust free, try a road rally through the backcountry of San Diego.

If you don't mind some dust, and bouncing around, then come on a one-day or weekend off-pavement adventure. We'll go up mountains and down into the deserts. We'll travel on easy to moderate trails that will take you to places you've never seen before, and you will learn how very capable you land Rover really is.

If you're anxious to get out on some hardcore, advanced trails in the finest off-pavement vehicle made, then we will take you to places like Sidewinder, the club's Adopted Trail; or to The Squeeze, and Heart Attack Hill; or to the Rubicon. If you have the time, join club members on a week long trip to Moab, complete with a local trail guide.

Community Service

We partner with the the Cleveland National Forest at Corral Canyon and have an Adopt-A-Trail which we help maintain. Our adopted trail is "Sidewinder."

We also look at charities on an annual basis to determine if we can provide monetary or in-kind support.

Trip Report: Cleghorn Ridge
November 2009
By Jerry Sanfilippo
Our group of 4 trucks met up at the McDonald's off Hwy. 15 then proceeded to the trail head. Our group consisted of Rick Peterson in his D2, Peter Matusov in his D1, Greg Farrell in his 06 LR3, and myself in my 06 LR3. After airing down we proceeded up the scenic switchbacks on Cleghorn road.

Trip Report: Anza Borrego - South to North
March , 2009
By Bob Palmer
While trips out to the Anza Borrego desert are common, our January trip started in an area most people had never been to before. We started in the south at Ocotillo as I-8 drops out of the mountains into the desert floor with an elevation near sea level, and ended east of Ranchita on S-22 at an elevation of about 4100 feet.
