"Jeeps Gone Wild" was established on 2006 by Michael Q. President of this club. Michael has been offroading since 2000 and has great passion for this wonderful hobby of jeeps and offroading. He wants to share this passion by opening up to anyone who owns a jeep from stock to modified. Michael also invites jeepers that has never gone offroading or is experienced in offroading. He wants you to experience how capable your jeep is and how exciting this hobby is.

Recently time has passed by and Michael has been dreaming of making his own jeep club to share with others and intime spread this club to other states. With lots of research about this hobby and making his own club, "Jeeps Gone Wild" was formed

Clarification of this clubs purpose and intention
"Jeeps Gone Wild" Offroad Club is an informal group and is not a legal object that exists. The purpose of the club is to provide the means to help share common interest with newcomers who might not had the opportunity of being exposed to this wonderful hobby. Providing these means can help extend friendship and the benefit of meeting people with more experience. The club will help educate, train and provide so, each individual can learn about their jeeps and to offroad safely. The club also welcomes experienced offroaders.
"Jeeps Gone Wild" is based on a non political group. This is the way the club is originally designed and this is the way it will continue for the time being. This will ensure to have more time to enjoy offroading so, there will be less hassle and confusion for everyone and this is the one of the main attractions which most people like about this club. At times, the club will have some issues that may or will arise from time to time and will be addressed appropriately. When this occurs there will be a minimal amount of voting because the club is about having trust in each other and this is why the club stands out from the others. The voters will be a small respectful group of members that were not voted in but chosen by the club president and has been in the club for over a year or a member that has a true understanding how the club runs. The president of the club has appointed some positions to help organize the events, runs and the club, these positions include: secretary, book keeper, club representatives, safety coordinators, first aid team, trail leaders, trail mechanics, trail recovery team and trail spotters. These positions are performed on voluntary basis and each position is coordinated by the club president. The club president will be observing each member though out time and notice if certain members can or will be qualified for these positions. When our members voluntarily participate in their positions its a matter of respect and trust with each other and the club president. When the president appoints these positions to the members, they are honored on taking their responsibilities for the club and will try their best to perform their positions. If for some reason, someone with a position cannot perform their duties, the club president will assign that position to another qualifying member. At times, the president will rotate assigned positions to other members as respect so they can be part of the team. The president will also assign other positions though out events, runs and the club on a voluntary basis for those who wish to participate. Doing this brings everyone together and it's about having trust and faith which makes our club special.
"Jeeps Gone Wild"schedules events and runs though out the offroading season from March through December. Some of these runs will include: "JeepAlong Open Runs" and "Members Only Runs". The "JeepAlong Open Runs" are open for everyone. If someone becomes interested in joining the club, they are welcome to join the clubs open runs. After a few open club runs, the president of the club and a few members will decide if the club may or will accept and invite them to the club. Once they have been accepted, they will be eligible to apply to become a club member. "Members Only Runs" will be runs that are specially organized for the club members. They are allowed to bring any passengers they wish. This will be the time to relax and enjoy with our fellow club members. During our "JeepAlong Open Runs" and "Members Only Runs" the club will have a brief group and safety meeting. We ask all members to respectfully wait for our group meeting to be over before everyone enjoys the trails. Most of the runs will be held at the Badlands in Attica, Indiana due to the centralized location, excellent facilities and support that are available for the club. Club members are welcome to plan other "non official" runs at other locations as they please. During any of our runs and events everyone, including club members and non members, will be responsible for their actions. We ask everyone to conduct themselves in a manner upholding to the club standards.
