I think it would make more sense to do this after it's decided if all the chapter pages are going to look the same or not (i.e. use a common template). The only reason I say that is because if we decide to go the template route, not all chapters will have sponsors, local events, etc.. Plus, we have to remember, this club is for on-road 4runners too (or it was last I knew). That means that an off-road section excludes them. To make that mandatory for all chapters might not be the best idea.

At this point, I say keep it as basic as possible. I think you have to have a link back to 4ROC.com (once it's established). I also think each chapter should have a list of it's members, and a way to join the chapter. There should also be a list of other chapters, with links to the websites, if applicable. I think a chapter charter would be good, but it might not need to be a link - it could just be part of the chapter's front page.

After that, I say let each chapter decided what links/content is right for them. Ultimately, the members should decide. If one chapter ends up being primarily on-road, then let them have an link for on-road mods and peformance upgrades if they want.

just my 2 pennies.
