I like you approach to responding and I think an open and level headed approach to this is ideal.
You wheel 52 weekends a year? Respect.
Not all of us are into wheeling, I used to go every weekend, heck sometimes every day as a teenager and in my 20's, but after 10 years of that I'm not into it anymore but I still love the trucks and turning wrenches.
Idea, have your "club business" board meetings at the board room and then have a "club meeting" somewhere else more central and fun.
There are far more people in the area who have a Land Cruiser, love it and are into it for camping, hunting, fishing and access to the outdoors (the trucks purpose) than there are Hard Core four wheelers. The Land Cruiser is something that transcends that and bring us all together so perhaps there should be a focus of meeting the needs of the local community vs a few specific people, whomever they might be.
To clarify, I too am not saying that I am right, or anyone else is wrong - this is my opinion. However, I remember how much bigger and more active the club was when we had a more central meeting location. With all of the guys in FJ Cruisers around I'd have a hard time understanding why there would be less people. I see a well setup FJ almost every day roaming around the area.
