Jeep Wave Day 2015

Jeep_Wave_Day_2015

May 7th is National Jeep Wave Day and that’s just around the corner! Why May 7th you ask?

  • 5 – Most people #JeepWave with their hands and most people have five fingers on each hand, so we picked May, being the fifth month of the year.
  • 7 – Jeep is iconic for its front headlights and grille, which has 7 slots in it, so we chose the 7th day of May.
  • 5 fingers waving at the 7 slot grille. = 5/7 each year! Now you know!

Last year, through social media, Jeep events, and personal interactions, we estimate that the word about Jeep Wave Day reached just over 10,000 people. The year before, we reached more than 6,000 people. So, we’re being ambitious and shooting to reach more than 12,000 this year. But, we’ll need everyone’s help, especially with less than a week left until Jeep Wave Day!

Jeep Wave Day 2014

May 7th every year is your chance to spread the word about the #JeepWave. Yes, every day should be Jeep Wave Day, but we all know how frustrating it is to see another Jeep, throw out your hand, and get nothing but a blank stare in return. So, we aim to change that!

Last year, through social media, Jeep events, and personal interactions, we estimate that they word about Jeep Wave Day reached 6,000+ people. The year before, we reached more than 5,000 people. So, we’re ambitious and shooting to reach more than 10,000 this year and we think that should be easy. But, we’ll need everyone’s help!

We’ve only got a week left until Jeep Wave Day!

National Jeep Wave Day 2013

National Jeep Wave Day 2013

The second annual National Jeep Wave Day is May 7th, 2013…and that’s just around the corner.  For those who don’t know, we’re trying to have a day to celebrate our Jeeps and promote the Jeep Wave.  With more and more Jeep drivers out there every day, we need to make sure everyone knows about the wave.

Last year, we spread the word to over 5,000 Jeepers via Facebook, Twitter, and word of mouth.  This year, we’re gonna need your help again to share with social networks, Jeep clubs, and Jeep friends around the world.  Throw that #JeepWaveDay hash tag out on Twitter, share posts on Facebook, and don’t forget to wave to all the Jeeps you can see on May 7th.

Feel free to link back to the blog here if you want to share around the web with your Jeep friends!  linkback: Jeep Wave Day 2013

Crawl To A Cure 2.0

The second annual Crawl To A Cure event went off in Eagle, CO at the fair grounds last week. With a goal to raise money in the fight against breast cancer, off road machines from all around Colorado came out to race around the course.

Like last year, the rain / snow / sleet came in right on cue and muddied up the course. It was cold and the crowds weren’t quite as big as last year, but the folks that did show up sure weren’t lacking any enthusiasm.

There were two classes of vehicles, some that were mostly stock that ran on the small course and some built up rigs that ran the big course.  In some respects, seeing what the stock-ish Jeeps could do was a lot of fun.  Nothing impresses us more than watching a Jeep more or less off the factory line do things you don’t think it can do…like catch air.

That said, it wasn’t all roses for the regular sized Jeeps.  While you can see the big wall in the background, the little stack in front caused some problems when one lady took a turn driving her husband’s rig and got a little hung up.

All in all, good fun for the first round, but we were excited to see the big rigs come out next.  Now, hard to tell if some of these were Jeeps…all that was left was and engine, wheels, some seats, and a vague outline of a frame.  AKA:  Crawling Machines.

The most impressive part of the whole deal was seeing who could get up and over the big wall.  Looking at it before the start of the event, and based on last year’s showing, we didn’t think anyone was gonna make it.  Stretched up in front of the wall, you can see how big it was…

Surprisingly, or not, depending on your faith in your Jeep, a couple rigs made it up and over. The most impressive one was probably this green monster that made quick work of the big wall.  HUGE!

All in all, a really fun event again this year.  We’re glad to support a good cause and have some fun at the same time.  We hope to do it again next year!

National Jeep Wave Day 05/07/12

It’s been decided, the first national Jeep Wave Day will be May 7, 2012.  So how’d we choose that day? First off, credit to one of our facebook fans, Missy, from www.Trailmods.com who suggested it.  Now the details:

–  May is the fifth month of the year and you often do the Jeep Wave with 5 fingers…so that’s how we start.

–  The 7th day of May pays homage to the seven slot grille that defines the Jeep brand.

–  So long as the world doesn’t end in 2012, we’ll have our first national Jeep Wave day on May 7th, 2012 to honor thy Jeep and recognize the drivers who share the love.

Hopefully you can help spread the word.  Tell your friends.  Share the news on facebook and twitter.  Help us pass out fliers as the time approaches. Dealerships need to know about this too so it can be a success.

Thanks and keep on waving.
