Members of Jeep Expeditions make many new friends and join each other in many new and exciting adventures. With 10 Expeditions planned for 2008 and with planning underway for 3 Expeditions in 2009 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 and so that we do not grow out of control our By-Laws limit our membership to 150 Individual/Family memberships.

The good news is we still have about 50 memberships 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 and wheeling and so much more! Sure there may be some rock crawling involved but all of our trips are suitable for STOCK Jeeps.

1. A Group of Experienced people to lead you on multiple day Expeditions.
2. "Management" does all the planning, applies for permits and takes care of all the PIA stuff, consider us your off-road travel agent.
3. Unlike other Expedition groups, it wont cost you $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.
4. Discounts at local and potential 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 3 Expeditions in 2009 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.
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. Some have called many of 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 management and staff. We volunteer our time for YOU!
18. AND SO MUCH MORE!

Membership also gives us 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.

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.

Prospective members are required to complete a quick and simple information form and submit 2 pictures of their rig. 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. New members pay a $15 new member fee which gives them two club logo decals to proudly display on their Jeep and a membership card for discounts at participating vendors.

Of course if all you want to do is look at our website again and again, like over 100,000 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.

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. Download this information form (Pending Member Letter) and email the requested information to membership@jeepexpeditions.org along with two pictures of your Jeep and a brief description of it.
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.
   
   If you would rather mail a check or money order you can send $40 1st year dues plus $15 new member fee (includes two club decals) 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.
