Why EAJ?
We're more than your typical jeep club and not just a bunch of rednecks with Jeeps. We strive to be a family oriented organization that offers a little bit of everything. Whether your an avid Jeeper with a highly modified trail rig, or a new Jeep owner with a totally stock Jeep, our activities are designed so everyone can participate. Our goal is to come together for the common cause of maximizing the Jeep experience. From meet & greets and Jeep shows to trail rides and wheeling events, you have the opportunity to make what you want of EAJ.
What does it take to join EAJ?
Joining EAJ is simple. Simply request to join our facebook group and that's it! It's 100% free and open to all past, present, and future Jeep owners. If you're interested in EAJ+, our elite paid membership program, visit the "EAJ+" tab on our website for more information.
Can anyone or any make/model attend an EAJ event?
EAJ hosts different types of events throughout the year. Some of our big fundraiser events are open to the public and to any off-road capable vehicle, (ATV, UTV, SUV, SxS, Quad, Dirt Bike, Etc.). Other events are for EAJ members only, these events are setup based on the capabilities of the Jeep lineup, and are therefore limited to club members who currently own Jeeps. If at all in doubt, just ask a member of our admin team.
I got "tagged" what do I do now?
"Tagging" Jeeps is our way of spreading the group by word of mouth. Tag cards are available to current members for the instance when you're out and about the town and see another Jeep that catches your attention. If you've been tagged, it simply means that a current EAJ member saw your ride and like it, and wants you to check out our group. Visit our facebook group and see what we're all about.
Where do my EAJ+ Membership Dues go?
We established the EAJ+ elite membership program in early 2015 to give Evansville Area Jeepers, LLC an operating budget. Although it's not much, this budget allows us to cover expenses associated with hosting public fundraiser events, insurance requirements, website fees, and other miscellaneous overhead costs. As the budget continues to grow, the Admin Team has set goals including purchasing a gear trailer and stocking with spare parts, recovery gear, etc. and eventually leasing property for club use. In an effort to minimize financial impacts to the club and the Admin Team, EAJ has elected to donate any remaining year-end monies to a charity selected by majority vote. This allows us to conduct a zero-profit business venture without all the paperwork and hoops to jump through of a not-for-profit.
What's a "Jeeple"?
According to Urban Dictionary .com, a "Jeeple" is a combination of Jeep + People. "Jeeple describes the comradery and cult-like mentality of Jeep owners, most commonly seen with owners of extensively modified Jeeps, but affects all Jeep lovers alike. Jeeples have coined the terms such as 'It's a Jeep thing' and actions such as the 'Jeep Wave'." If you're reading this, chances are you're a JEEPLE!
Jeep Wave??
The Jeep Wave phenomenon is an honor and responsibility bestowed upon those drivers with the superior intelligence, taste, class, and discomfort tolerance to own the ultimate vehicle - the Jeep. This responsibility, while not taken lightly by most Jeeples, is very simple: WAVE AT EACH & EVERY JEEP YOU PASS. Day or night, as long as your own your Jeep. . . just wave.
