Your pictures look scary. Am I going to damage my Xterra if I come out with your club?

Not necessarily. Each member does what he feels comfortable with and is not pressured into doing more. We have all started small and with experience tried more technical trails. If you're not sure, you're welcome to come out and ride with one of us. Plus we try to maintain a well-rounded calendar of activities (called Xcursions) in addition to offroading, including camping, hiking, canoeing and partying! However, please be aware that you are responsible for everything you do to your vehicle while out with the club.

My Xterra is stock, can I make it offroading?

You bet. Many of our members are stock and have done all the same trails as the guys with the expensive modifications. Again, if you don't feel comfortable at any point of the trail we won't pressure any member.

What should my first modifications be?

Different people will tell you different things, but the bare minimum you should have is a handheld FRS radio, which is how we all communicate on Xcursions. Another simple but good one is rubber/all-season floor mats. This will save your carpet from the mud we sometimes encounter. New tires would be the next item. Your stock ones will work great, but several members have enjoyed an easier time on the trails with upgraded all-terrain tires.

How can I become a member?

It's easy, check out our Join page for more information.

What areas does your club cover?

We currently have members from Orem, UT to Pocatello, ID, however most of our members are from the Salt Lake City area. We try to make our Dinners & Xcursions central to most people, with occasional trips that are a little farther.

What kind of people join UXOC?

One of the greatest things about our club is the diversity of our members. Our youngest member is 21 and our oldest is in their late 30's. We represent a wide variety of career and personal interests, yet we all enjoy going out and having some fun in our Xterras.
