We welcome all Off-Road vehicles from new to old, Jeeps to Bronco’s, stock to modified, beginner to advanced levels. Join us on our journey to be the best Off-Road club the East Coast offers. Come explore our passion for Off-Roading and Rock Crawling like never before!
We are an Off Road Club that crawls Rocks! This is a free wheeling club with a Premium Membership option that travels, camps and goes off roading. We are not a Jeeps and Coffee club. Coffee is by the camp fire.
We wheel off-road parks on the Eastern half of the USA with occasional trips out West. We’ve run trips to MOAB, UT, Windrock, TN, Gulches, SC, Uwharrie, NC, Rausch Creek, PA, HotSprings, AR, SMORRR, MO to name a few. Each year, the club has a unique schedule visiting several off road parks.
If you’re looking to crawl rocks at various off-road parks, camp and travel, than this is the off road rock crawling club for you.
President
Prior to founding East Coast Krawlers in 2021, I was Director of Global Enterprise Architecture for a major fortune 500 biotech company for 23 year. In 2019, I purchased my first Jeep. Within 2 weeks of the purchase, I was at an Off-Road park that I never knew existed. That day changed my life forever. I wheeled as much as I could taking a brand new jeep off roading every chance I got. I started modifying it and the rest is history.
Vice President
Jeff — Adrenaline-Fueled Engineer & Off-Road Explorer From jumping out of planes to throttling motorcycles, tearing up off-road trails, and chasing the rush of fast cars, Jeff lives for adrenaline. A former nuclear submariner who once served beneath the waves, he now keeps the lights on for 67 million people as an electrical engineer—bringing the same discipline and intensity to the power grid that he once brought to the U.S. Navy. When he’s not engineering the backbone of modern life, you’ll find Jeff outdoors—hunting, fishing, or fine-tuning his long-range shooting skills. But his true passion? Off-roading with his Jeep and his trail-dog Cali, conquering mud, rocks, and whatever nature throws his way. Always up for meeting new people and swapping stories, Jeff’s the kind of guy who’s as ready to talk gear ratios as he is to plan the next big adventure.

Hey folks! I’m an adrenaline junky first and whether it’s race cars or buggies I like to take it to the extreme. I’ve been wheeling for 40+ years, yes I’m old but never underestimate an old dude in a buggy. I’ve been fortunate enough to have my own business for over three decades which allows be to play as hard as I work. I wheel a retired Ultra4 Buggy and am in the process of building a new one. I enjoy the comradery of the off-road community and have made lifelong friends. If the blue buggy is leading your group you are in for a exciting experience..

Hey everyone I just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself. I’m Jessica, one of your Tennessee chapter leaders. We plan rides most weekends and our main area is Windrock Park, the country’s largest privately owned off-road park with 73,000 acres. If you are in the area and want to check the park out feel free to contact me, if we don’t have a ride planned we will put one together for you. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Hello ECK, my name is Ken Chalkley. I live in Athens, TN, and I'm thrilled to be a part of this group. I've been an off road enthusiast since before my teen years. I actually started out on horseback, then moved to dirt bikes. In my early 20s I graduated to rail buggies, then went to building them. In my early 30s I moved into the jeep world and haven't looked back. I am now 58 and having the time of my life wheeling. I am currently in the process of rebuilding my 97 TJ, (I broke it bad!) I have met some amazing people over the years and look forward to meeting many more. Now go play in the dirt!

I originally came from the Memphis area after having served my career as a Memphis Police Officer and later as a detective before moving to Raleigh NC for my wife's career. Back story, I met my wife in Memphis but she was not from there and had no desire to stay there so after our only son Evan was born in 2014 she asked me when I could retire because she did not want to stay in Memphis and wanted me out of law enforcement.

Been off-roading for about 10 years now. Avid outdoorsman, including hunting, fishing, camping and hiking. I enjoy anything from green trails to red trails. If I'm not hitting a trail in the jeep or riding passenger with one of my buddies you can find my on on a soon to be trail with a chainsaw in my hand! I'm a firm believer of a day in the woods is better then a day in the office. Hope to see-ya in the woods soon!

Hi Jeepers! I've been hitting the trails for 4 years now. I have learned alot for the guys at Mud & Honor. I typically will run the greens and blues. Usually always have a newbie in the group. Nothing better then seeing the smiles after a few trails from the beginners. I also usually have several cameras going . From a drone, bumper Gopro, or just from the phone. Feel free to watch some videos on my page.
