About Wheelers for the Wounded (WFTW):
“WFTW is an organization with the primary mission of providing a weekend of off-roading, camping, and in some cases fishing to our country’s wounded military members all over the United States. This will provide them with much deserved fun and excitement as they traverse the most extreme terrain our great country has to offer in a variety of the best off-road capable vehicles ever built.” The Matanzas Jeep Club will host a cook-out on Saturday, October 2nd.
About the Matanzas Jeep Club:
“The Matanzas Jeep® 4×4 Club is Northeast Florida’s most versatile Jeep® Club. We’re made up of a bunch of Jeep®-lovin’ folks who spend their time dreaming of the big rocks we don’t have here on the First Coast. But where there’s a will, there’s a way… Sometimes we have a big barbeque and other times we trek south or north a little ways and have a blast doing what Jeeps® do best – four wheel!”
Note: The River Rock Off Road Park is a private ORV Park and to ensure access to the property, those interested in attending the event should contact Glen Ballard (information above) – or “Trespassers vehicles will be sunk in the mud bog…”

What do air shows, fairs, festivals and Jeep® Brand ultimate off-road test courses have in common? Apparently a lot, since a new “Jeep® Rocks and Road Tour” has rolled into cities across the country, giving consumers and Jeep® owners a sneak peek into the private world of Jeep® testing. With obstacles simulated to recreate the rigorous testing that Jeep® vehicles undergo before they are presented to the consumer world, Jeep® offers an “inside” experience to those who want it, and the opportunity to test-drive the new 2011 Jeep® Vehicle Line-up, including the 2011 Jeep® Grand Cherokee!
“We have created the Jeep Rocks & Road Tour to provide our current and potential customers with an adventurous experience that is exclusive to the Jeep brand,” said Mike Manley, President and CEO – Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “We are partnering with various venues across the country to reach out to our loyal Jeep consumers, while branching out to those with new interest in the one-of-a-kind Jeep brand. This tour provides an ideal venue to experience the countless features and legendary capability offered in the all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, as well as the other vehicles in the Jeep brand family.”
Trained instructors will be on hand to assist those attending with navigation through various off-road situations, such as log crossings, steep grades and rocky trails. The event even offers a “Jeep Playground” for Jeep® owners who brought their own ride to the show. For families attending with their children, there will be “Power Wheels” mini-Jeep vehicles and rock climbing walls.
The next “Jeep® Rocks and Road Tour” is scheduled for this weekend (August 27th – August 29th) at the Offutt Defenders of Freedom Air Show in Bellevue, NE (near Omaha, NE). All drivers must present a valid Driver’s License and be 18 years of age or older. Friday, August 27 is a special, Jeep-only day, as the Offutt Defenders of Freedom Air Show will not start until Saturday, August 28. Due to space restrictions, there will be no Jeep Owner’s Playground at this Jeep Rocks & Road Tour event.
Both the Offutt Defenders of Freedom Air Show and Jeep Rocks & Road Tour are free and open to the public.

Set to be the “largest Jeep owner’s event in the Southern hemisphere”, this year’s Jeep “Jambo”, held at Lardner Park near Warragul, Victoria presents the priceless opportunity for Jeep owners to congregate and share their passion for off-road adventure with no less than four full days of four wheel driving for all levels of experience…not to mention a trade alley, activities for the children and family oriented events celebrating the Jeep “way of life”.
While the National Jeep Jamboree is held every two years in Australia, this U.S. event is anticipated to be “a cut above”, as Chrysler Australia has announced it’s support and partnership with the Melbourne Jeep Owners Club in the planning and execution of the four-day event. Behind the “Jambo” lies a unique tradition of celebration, innovation and Jeep off-road fun. Birthed in 1953 by Mark A. Smith in a creative attempt to boost the economy of Georgetown, California, the first “Jamboree” was an organized Jeep trek running across the Sierra Nevada Mountains and through the old Rubicon trail.
Registration is currently open through September 11th, so make sure you plan to attend!

This year’s Jeep Beach (hosted by the Mid Florida Jeep Club) was a big hit! Held in the infield of the Daytona International Speedway, the festivities were rockin’ with over 50 sponsors including Rugged Ridge, Warn, Hi-Lift, Teraflex and Trailmaster. To give you just an idea of the kind of fun was had, registration was commenced to the sounds of finger’s being licked (Hooters Wings – Ahem…), beer being drunk (tubs courtesy of the event), and JEEPS!
