Jeep_Wave_Day_2015

May 7th is National Jeep Wave Day and that’s just around the corner! Why May 7th you ask?

  • 5 – Most people #JeepWave with their hands and most people have five fingers on each hand, so we picked May, being the fifth month of the year.
  • 7 – Jeep is iconic for its front headlights and grille, which has 7 slots in it, so we chose the 7th day of May.
  • 5 fingers waving at the 7 slot grille. = 5/7 each year! Now you know!

Last year, through social media, Jeep events, and personal interactions, we estimate that the word about Jeep Wave Day reached just over 10,000 people. The year before, we reached more than 6,000 people. So, we’re being ambitious and shooting to reach more than 12,000 this year. But, we’ll need everyone’s help, especially with less than a week left until Jeep Wave Day!

Please share with your social media connects on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+ and anything else we haven’t caught up with yet! Sharing pictures is great, linking people to this post, and #Hashtags always spread awareness #JeepWaveDay2015

Thanks to all the loyal followers and those who are always throwing out the Jeep Wave!

Moving Day!

It was recently moving day for us here at jeepwaves.com.  No, not moving the site anywhere, but actually, moving.  FUN! As if we needed another reason to love the Grand Cherokee, we were continually amazed at just how much fit inside (and on top of) the Jeep.  Sure, we got a few strange looks driving down the road Clampett style, but we got it done! Anyone else moved in a Jeep? Got any good stories?

Go Topless Day 2013 Recap!

Well, needless to say, any day you can get out and wheel it’s a good day.  Go Topless Day 2013 was a blast for us here in Colorado.  We went out with the South Park 4×4 Club to Leadville, CO for the meetup and proceeded to Halfmoon Creek trail to see how far we could go.

After the fun, the snow started moving in, right on cue, and we figured it would be best to head down.  Quite a scene with 10 topless jeeps (and one Toyota) with snow falling softly overhead.  We figured it would be a waste not to stop for lunch quickly, and sure enough mother nature cooperated long enough to bring the sun back out for a quick bite and some Go Topless Day pictures.  AHHHH, Colorado weather!

At any rate, all in all, a fun morning ride and another great Go Topless Day.  Looking forward to doing it again next year and appreciative for a great start to wheeling season here in Colorado.

*** On a side note, we threw up about 10 Jeep Waves to random motorists on our way out to Leadville and had almost a 90% return rate for waves.  Pretty darn good!  It might help having the Jeep Wave Sticker right in view of oncoming drivers! ; )
