Posted by Jean Wnuk on Tue, May 15, 2018 @ 12:11 PM Tweet May 19th, 2018 marks the 11th Anniversary of All Things Jeep's Worldwide Go Topless Day® and celebrations are scheduled around the world! We started this as a local event in our sleepy little town in Central Massachusetts and it's turned into the biggest celebration of Jeep ownership in the world! Back in May of 2008 we had just finished a particularly brutal New England winter and we wanted to celebrate the beginning of warm weather and the beginning of topless weather for us Jeepers. So we created an event. We had about 65 Jeeps show up at the meet-up we created at a farm stand in Lancaster, MA. And some of our customers in other parts of the country heard about it and wanted to also host events. So they did. But Jeepers are an enthusiastic bunch. By the following year, our local event had a DJ, an ice cream vendor, off-road trails, a few RTI ramps and vendor giveaways. I bet some of you reading this were there! The next ye ar it grew. Jeep clubs, dealerships and groups wanted to participate also. We said, "Absolutely", and the number of hos ted events grew. We created Go Topless Day ® apparel , made GTD stickers that we gave away for free , and year by year, more Jeep communities began participating. We launched a "Getting Ready for Go Topless Day®" Photo Contest and gave away some fun prizes. (Photos here are compliments of our entries this year!) We had events planned on multiple continents. Jeepers had fun and have turned the day into a day of raising money for charities. Which brings me to this year.... This year we currently have over 130 Go Topless Day ® events scheduled across the country and across the world. This year you'll find events like Jeep'n Alaska's Go Topless Day ® 2018 event in Wasilla, AK and Big Island Jeep Club's first Go Topless Day ® event in Kailui-Kona, HI and almost every state in between. There's GTD18 events in Australia, Columbia, Canada and South Africa. One of the largest and most fun Go Topless Day ® events is our flagship event in Monson, MA that we co-host with Ocean State Jeepers . It's grown into an event with almost 1000 Jeeps and over 3000 Jeepers. Folks show up to do the trail rides, shop the vendor midway, enter raffles for some great prizes, hang out with other Jeepers, and, of cours e, to admire almost 1000 Jeeps. Jeep Beach Jam in Panama City Beach, FL will be aiming to make a Guinness World Record with the most topless Jeeps in one place. The great thing about Go Topless Day ® Jeep events is that they can be anything! Our goal has always been to simply celebrate the fun and adventure that comes along with owning a Jeep. This year there are poker runs, beach cleanups, drive-in movie nights, coastal cruises, ShowShines, picni cs, events at Jeep dealerships, in the woods, on the beaches and in the parks. The complete list of All Things Jeep's Go Topless Day ® 2018 registered events is here . No matter where you are or what kind of Jeep you drive, we hope you'll take some time on May 19th, 2018 to join in the Go Topless Day ® spirit, and get behind the wheel of your Jeep, crank up some tunes and enjoy the ride. It's a Jeep thing and we DEFINITELY understand! 0 Comments Click here to read/write comments Tags: Go Topless Day Photos , Go Topless Day Sweatshirt , go topless day tees , "go topless day" "Jeep meet and gre , Go Topless , Topless Jeep , Jeep Events , ATJ photo contest , gotoplessday , toplessjeep , gtd18 , gotoplessday2018 Woman Wanted to Co-Pilot Jeep Custom Tire Cover Goes Viral Posted by Jean Wnuk on Wed, Jan 03, 2018 @ 02:00 PM Tweet We make Custom Tire Covers for your Jeep . We make a LOT of them. But on December 12, 2017 we made a post on our All Things Jeep Facebook page that showed a custom tire cover the we definitely did NOT make . Here's the photo we posted. And here's what we wrote: "Truth be told, we didn't make this custom tire cover for this guy. (But we applaud his initiative and would love to know the outcome.) But we DO make custom tire covers so if you have your own photo or story you want the world to see on the back of your Jeep, we can do it for you. Details here: https://www.allthingsjeep.com/create-your-own-tire-cover-by-all-things-jeep.html " A week or two later we got an email from a gentleman named Greg. This was Greg's Jeep and Greg's ingenious strategy to acquire a girlfriend. We traded emails a bit and we asked him if we could post his story. He agreed and here it is. We love his creativity! Greg wrote, "Hi Jean, Here's the story! So I was single and trying to figure out how to meet women without having to resort to internet dating. I'm not into sports due to life long knee issues, and not a bar fly. I thought a guy in his Late 40's should be able to find a woman without involving the world wide web. Late March 2016 I was stopped at an intersection behind a fellow Jeep Wrangler. It had a tire cover that read "Life is good". It was at that moment, those short few minutes would change my life for ever! In those short few minutes I put together a few key words. Words like "rugged" and "middle aged" and "co-pilot". I thought about my brilliant scheme for about a week. So many factors... I needed a canvas. I'd have to use my phone number. My sense of humour pushed me forward, as I never leave home without it! I figured I could use a "flying saucer" type toboggan. Its a round sled, it has handles and would be easy to bungy cord to my spare tire. I could then write my message on it with a permanent marker. The winter season was coming to a close and I needed to act fast. I had two options... $5 or $30. The five dollar model didn't seem big enough and I didn't want to spend thirty bucks. In the end I decided that my brilliant scheme was worth the thirty dollars, and I had my canvas. The wording had to be catchy! I wanted to use the word "RUGGED" and "middle aged" and "seeking". I needed my message to be clear. I only had so much space to work with. I looked up the dictionary definition of rugged, it's NOT good. Lol? That's how "semi-rugged" came to be. "Middle aged" took up too much space, that's how "Mid-aged" came to be. I needed to specify gender, "female" would be just fine. Sign development was under way. I had a friend draw up the first sign (the one you posted on Facebook). It read : "SEEKING SEMI-RUGGED MID-AGED FEMALE TO CO-PILOT JEEP TEXT my cell number" I put the sign on my jeep and the reaction from other motorists was astounding. Almost every time I looked in the rear view, the people behind me were taking pictures. They were honking, waving, laughing, giving me the thumbs up etc. What a riot! About three days in, my phone rang, I said hello and this guy said "Hey, I'm calling you from Wisconsin and just so you know, your phone number is plastered all over the internet", to which I responded "holy s**t"! Someone had taken a pic in Kingston, Ontario where I lived at the time and posted it on Facebook. I wasn't even on Facebook at that time, but my friends and family were. The crazy sign (brilliant idea) went viral with 15 000 ish views. I received over 100 texts mostly people just checking to see if it was real. 99.9% of the texts were from the USA. One day I walked past the sign and brushed it with me sleeve. Some of the permanent marker rubbed off. It was at that moment I realized I had created a "white board" sign for my jeep. Again I was basking in my brilliance... I decided to change it up! "SEEKING SEMI-RUGGED MID-AGED FEMALE tocopilotjeep@gmail.com Yes it's real, LMAO??? The texts were...
