IT’S FINALLY HERE.
The week all Jeepers have been waiting, and prepping for.
Jeep Beach events can be plentiful and overwhelming. Luckily for you, I made your “Cheat Sheet” for Jeep Beach 2018, encompassing all official and non-official Jeep Beach events!
Before we dive into events, I wanted to also point out a few Jeep Beach vendors that are totally worth visiting their setups at Jeep Beach!
Jeep Beach Vendor Tents to Visit
Poison Spyder: They always bring a giant amount of swag to sell, and they also have a large discounted bin of apparel too! Awesome place to snatch up some well-priced Poison Spyder swag AND take a peek at the sick racing rigs they normally bring along.
Factor 55: These guys are just cool, and they engineer devices to make your winching experiences safer. They have test data along with destroyed products they’ve tested with, and they will talk to you about why their products work, and why it’s important to have a closed-winching system.
Truckin Motion: A local shop in Miami, Truckin Motion has the most knowledgeable staff I know. Their knowledge is also to not limited to Jeeps, but they build all sorts of trucks and overlanders and other off-road vehicles.
Off Grid Accessories: This vendor is a must-stop. Do you have a girlfriend or wife? You best not leave Jeep Beach before getting her a cute accessory from Off Grid. And ladies obviously treat yourselves! My favorite Jeep necklace is from them!
