| Q. | | Why should I join NAXJA? What are the benefits? |
| A. | This is a relatively common question from perspective members of NAXJA
and while many people say that the forums and the information provided is reason enough for joining, we do our best to provide
many other benefits of membership. NAXJA is a club first and fore-most and an online discussion site second. We strive to host
4-5 national events every year which all members are welcome to attend. These events are at the largest and best known OHV
areas in the US and are typically multi-day events which include a BBQ and raffle. With the effort to establish more local
chapters of NAXJA we are providing the members a way to meet with local XJers and participate in their own events outside of
the national events. When joining you are granted access to the members only forum, the membership
news forum, the technical articles area, the forum archives area and you are granted several discounts with vendors. Many
of our supporting vendors offer temporary or permanent discounts to our club Members. You will also recieve your membership
card and club sticker. Joining NAXJA also joins you to the United Four Wheel Drive Assosciation
(UFWDA) as $10 of your member dues is used to cover this cost. The club also actively supports TreadLightly, USALL
and several other groups promoting the safe and fair sharing of public lands with the interests of OHV use.
