Members of Jeep Expeditions make many new friends and join each other in many new and exciting adventures. With 10 Expeditions planned for 2010 and with planning underway for more exciting trips in 2011 thru 2013 already there is and will be something for everybody. Not everyone can go on every Expedition as we have to limit the size of our group according to how many we can accommodate based on the trip and how many we can have participating due to government or tribal regulations. Our average Expedition might have 25 Jeeps and up to 50 people.  To prevent us from growing out of control, our By-Laws limit our membership to 100 Individual/Family memberships.

The good news is we still have a few memberships still available. The bad news is, it is going to take you 5 minutes or so of your time to complete the registration requirements.

What does membership in Jeep Expeditions give you?

First of all we are a UNIQUE club in the 4x4 world. Scenery, history, archeology, geology, paleontology, education, wheeling and so much more! Sure there may be some rock crawling involved but just about all of our trips are suitable for STOCK Jeeps.

1. A Group of Experienced member volunteers to lead you on multiple day Expeditions.
2. Our volunteer members/trip leaders/board of directors do all the planning, apply for permits and take care of all the PIA stuff, consider us your off-road travel agent.   We are a registered non-profit fraternal corporation in the state of Arizona. 
3. Unlike other Expedition groups, it wont cost you $200, $500, $1000 or more per person to do what we have learned to do best. Most of our Expeditions are FREE to attend. We only charge when there is a charge for permits and guides which usually applies to Navajo or other Native American lands.   We don't offer a free membership and give you the same stuff you do now then charge you an extra $50 a year to do our "premium trips".   All of our trips are premium and just about all of them are FREE ! and included with one low annual membership fee.
4. Discounts at local and  national vendors can save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars every year.
5. We have a GREAT looking logo :-)
6. Save more money on occasional group buys.
7. See much more of the outdoors than you would on your own or with a rock crawling club and still spank the trails in Moab with us.
8. Organization and accountability! Your Board of Directors will make sure that our website and Forums stay up and remain stable, they will not only plan for the present but plan for the future as evidenced by our planning of expeditions into 2013 already.
9. You know who to come to for advice or a problem.
10. Stability - We have taken all of the steps and will continue to take steps to insure the long term stability of our club.
11. New and exciting Expeditions each year and new twists on some old ones. You won't get bored!
12. Safety and security. You have peace of mind being with a responsible group of experienced "Expeditioniers".
13. It has been said by many that their 1st trip with us was worth many times more than what the annual dues are. And its so true, after your first Jeep Expedition whether it is a weekend trip or a week long adventure,  you will come back for more.
14. Family friendly. We invite all members of the family, even the family dog. Most if not all of our trips besides being some of the most scenic you might ever go on also have historical and educational value to them.
15. People have called our trips, the BEST off-road adventure they have even been on. While they can't all be the best they all will be lots of fun!
16. We have our "stuff" together!
17. Dedicated board of directors, trip leaders and members. We volunteer our time for YOU!
18. AND SO MUCH MORE!

Membership also gives our club membership in the Arizona State Association of 4 Wheel Drive Clubs and United Four Wheel Drive Associations, two great organizations that are always on the watch and always fighting for our rights to Off Highway recreation on a local, state, regional and national basis.  Beginning in 2010 we will also be providing monetary support to ARRA and the Blue Ribbon Coalition.

Now, like the info-mercial says "How much would you pay for all of this ?" Membership is clearly worth hundreds of dollars per year according to many of our members but we have registered as non-profit organization so we can't make any money.  The fact is that half of your dues money goes to organizations that are out their to protect your rights to public lands.  How many other off-road groups can say that?

Prospective members are required to complete a quick and simple information form/membership application and submit 2 pictures of their Jeep. In addition you must participate in a minimum of one Expedition in a 12 month period and since we are a Jeep club, you must own and drive a Jeep vehicle on our Expeditions. Simple so far, right? We have simple By-Laws and Rules that every member is expected to abide by, most of them safety and common sense related. And yes we do have annual dues of $40 per Individual/Family membership.

Of course if all you want to do is look at our website again and again, like over 200,000 people will do this month, that will cost you nothing. But, if you want to hit the back roads with us and have all the benefits of membership, you must join as only members can participate in our events and view our forum.   Non-members can take part in our FaceBook page and post messages.

Signing up is simple:

1. Register for our Forum/BBS - Membership is provisional for 5 days pending receipt of your information, pictures and membership dues.
2. Complete and submit your application for membership and email two pictures of your Jeep and a brief description of it to membership@jeepexpeditions.org
3. Pay your membership dues conveniently via PayPal plus your new member fee (includes 2 Jeep Expeditions Decals for your Jeep) by clicking here: Pay Dues with Pay Pal.
4. Members can buy club decals from the Expedition Store on the Jeep Expeditions web site.
   
   If you would rather mail a check or money order you can send $40 1st year dues to: Jeep Expeditions, P.O. Box 5324, Mesa, AZ 85211.

Remember your membership is provisional for only 5 days once you register so please take care of the rest while it is fresh on your mind.

Looking forward to seeing you on our next trip !

-- The Members and Board of Directors of Jeep Expeditions.
