Why Form a Chapter?

The purposes for forming a TLCA Chapter are several, but the most
important is the gathering together owners of Toyota Land Cruisers,
4Runners and/or 4x4 mini-trucks to help each other with vehicle
related interests. Having a group of like vehicles, four-wheeling
together, also gives you a reassuring feeling when your miles from the
nearest Toyota mechanic or parts supplier. Maybe it's simply because
there's nothing like the feeling you get looking at a long line of
Cruisers or mini's heading down the road or up the trail together (Oh,
what a feeling!).

As a TLCA Chapter, you gain several advantages over being an
individual member. TLCA maintains a very good insurance policy that
will cover you for liability while participating in your Chapter
functions (this is not auto insurance but liability insurance). This
is advantageous, if not down right mandatory, when holding events on
public and most private property. You also get a direct say in the
operation and management of TLCA. Each Chapter is allowed one delegate
to the executive Board of Directors and can vote on all matters
brought before the board. Chapters can also hold events sanctioned by
TLCA, receiving promotional help and guidance. This is a great way to
raise money for your club.
