Play The Jeep Geocaching Game Online

Last year, Jeep had a fun contest where they hid Jeep Travel Bugs all across the U.S. and with the aid of a GPS, you could participate in their game to win fun prizes.

This year, there’s no such game (yet), but they do have an online version of Jeep geocaching that they’re letting people download and play for free.

This is a serious game for diehard Jeepers though… it’s a 63 MB download!

Free?  Yes. But this is not a game to be taken lightly.

My guess is that those who download and play this game are the competitive type. Check out some of the challenges:

  • Explore the terrain in one of 4 Jeep vehicles: 2008 Liberty Limited, 2007 Grand Cherokee Limited, 2007 Commander Limited, or a 2007 Wrangler Rubicon.
  • Hop out of your Jeep vehicle at any time to access hard-to-reach areas on foot.
  • You must collect the cache to unlock postcards and e-mail them to your friends.
  • Compete in 5 timed “mini-missions” and get your score on Jeep’s global leaderboard.
  • Experience realistic weather effects in 5 different terrains

Sounds like fun, right?

Have You Played The Jeep Thrills Wii Game Yet?

jeep-thrills-wii.jpg I’ve heard mixed reviews, from "the Jeep’s handling is not all that responsive, but it’s still fun" to "it’s best for younger kids."

I haven’t tried the Jeep Thrills Wii yet myself, but we’re thinking of getting a Wii and the Jeeper in me makes me want to try it.

It’s just for fun anyway, right? Plus, my nephew would love it when he comes to visit. We converted him into a Jeeper at a young age. Now he always asks when he can ride in the back of Uncle Jim’s Jeep and asks his dad when they’re going to get a Jeep. (hee hee… it worked!)

Anyways… would love to hear from fellow Jeepers if this is a decent pick for the Wii or not. Thanks in advance.

A friend of ours took this pic on a recent roadtrip:

jeep-bucket-list.jpg

It got me thinking about all the Jeep stuff that’s currently on my own bucket list.

Buy a Jeep Wrangler” was on my list pretty much ever since I could drive, as evidenced by this scrapbook page I made after college:

jeep-wrangler-bucket-list.jpg

Now that that one’s been accomplished (4 times over… we’re on our 4th Jeep now!), it’s time to get busy on all those fun things we’ve been meaning to do in our Jeep and all the fun places we’ve been meaning to go.

I'm a Jeeper from Portland, Oregon. In addition to jeeps, I enjoy sustainability and environmental issues, water quality, art history, and arts education. When I'm not exploring in my vintage CJ-7, I can be found trail running with my 7-year-old Golden Retriever or enjoying downtime with my 2 daughters.

Let’s face it, regardless of what type of Jeep you own, there are many factors involved in the upkeep, maintenance, and general operation of these rugged sport utility machines.

You’re likely to have lots of random Jeep questions. And sometimes you just want to chat with Jeep experts and those who own Jeeps themselves online.

Virtually hundreds of Jeep forums exist — both online and in print form — that attempt to address a wide variety of Jeep topics.

As the owner of a vintage (1985) CJ-7, I’ve found Jeep forums that have been helpful in addressing my specific model’s unique issues and quirks.

I’ve also found other Jeep forums that are helpful in providing general information pertinent to Jeep riding — like how to find the best off-roading locations.

Following are my top 3 online Jeep forum recommendations. I’d love to hear your favorites too…

When you own a Jeep Wrangler, every other Jeep Wrangler owner in the world is your friend.

No kidding. And this camaraderie is identified by something called “the Jeep Wave”.

It’s all in good fun.

Failure to obey the letter or spirit of the rules may result in your being ignored by other Jeep owners as you sit along the side of the road next to your stalled vehicle in a blizzard surrounded by Saturns, Yugos, and Hyundais. — Jeep Nation
