Weather looks promising enough. Let's hope it keeps through our topless weekend.
Here we are, a scant four days away from our holiday that they wouldn’t understand. Yes, Jeepers, three sunrises, four sunsets, away. Here in California, as always, the weather is sunny and cheery and in fact we’re all practicing for Go Topless Day by knocking our tops off and Jeeping about. In fact, across most of the country, we have nice, sunny pleasant weather. If we can keep this up for another few days, Go Topless Day will go off without a hitch.
The weather map confirms this story – very few patches of precipitation, and only in pockets of the East Coast. Should clear up – just don’t go sending it this way!
The bad news is that, while we’ve been shipping Go Topless Day shirts by the bucket, the days between now and Go Topless Day are growing a bit thin to rely on postal service delivery by May 19. Hope you’ve already got your Go Topless gear!
This Go Topless Day Mousepad can be yours ... free
If not, don’t despair, all orders totaling $75 or more earn you free standard shipping, along with a free Go Topless Day keepsake in the form of a pretty groovy little mousepad. Thus, every time you go to your computer to connect with Jeepsters and log onto AllThingsJeep.com, you’ll be reminded of your 2012 Go Topless Day. Cool even if it comes after Go Topless Day – it’s not like you’ll use your mousepad on Go Topless Day itself, anyway!

Local Jeep owners and off-road enthusiasts will join All Things Jeep and Ocean State Jeepsters for the Foxboro, MA, celebration of the fifth annual Go Topless Day. It will be held at WC Motorsports, just across the street from Gillette Stadium. The event, hosted by Michael and Stephen Nashawaty of Taunton, MA, will be sure to send hundreds of Jeeps crawling up Route 1!
The event will feature a Rock Garden, RTI Ramp, a “Jeep Playground,” activities for the kids, food vendors, Jeep vendors and Raffles.
More details may be found at http://www.allthingsjeep.com/ go-topless-day.html. If you're not lucky enough to live in Massachusetts, be sure to check the site – chances are, your local Jeep club is coming around and hosting an event of its own.
For more info, contact us at gtd@allthingsjeep.com.
Go Topless Day is a worldwide phenomenon during which off-roaders shed their Jeeps' tops in celebration of the sport of off-roading. The first Go Topless Day was held in the spring of 2008, a small gathering of enthusiasts in Lancaster, MA. The idea came to Jean and Norman Wnuk, founders of AllThingsJeep.com, as they thawed out during the close of a brutal New England Winter. They realized that Jeep and Off-Road communities needed a special day to rejoice the beginning of the Topless Season.
Since then, participation has grown to over 150 clubs, as Go Topless Day annually unites topless Jeepers everywhere to celebrate of the off-road lifestyle and form parades, organize cleanup events, picnics and, our favorite, pose for pictures.

We at All Things Jeep are turning Earth Day into a Jeep thing — from now through Sunday, we will donate 5% of proceeds to the BlueRibbon Coalition, an organization dedicated to preserving open space for the Off-Road community.
Since the late ‘80s, the BlueRibbon Coalition has been working to educate the public about the off-road sport while bringing attention to issues involving land use to a national level. The coalition protects the notion that public lands and the natural resources contained therein should be accessible to the public.
As fellow Jeepers, we feel that our regulars would agree with a sentiment that keeps your Jeep on the trail. So, all you have to do help the BlueRibbon Coalition protect your trail is buy lots of cool Jeep stuff. Not such a bad way to celebrate Earth Day!
Still need another excuse to load up on Jeep stuff? Just check in to AllThingsJeep.com this weekend and you’ll get a free Go Topless Day sweatshirt with the purchase of any sweatshirt plus Free Shipping on orders over $75 — and it’s this weekend only.
Earth Day — it’s a Jeep thing. For more information on the BlueRibbon Coalition, visit http://www.sharetrails.org

We have a tradition at our house that no presents can be opened on Christmas morning until everyone is awake and downstairs. This annoys the heck out of the little kids because us parents don't want to get up as early as they do. Especially after a crazy holiday season in retail, Christmas morning is one of the first days off where we don't get up before the sun. Thankfully, we started a tradition many years ago which allows the grown-ups to get just a little more sleep before trudging downstairs, bleary-eyed. We let the kids go through their stockings as soon as they are up. They can't touch the presents under the tree, but they can dump out their stocking and see what's inside. In the spirit of "the stocking's importance can never be underestimated", here's a few goodies that will fit inside your stocking.
Pack a few of these Jeep Stocking Stuffers into the stocking of any Jeep lover, along with some Christmas candy, and you'll have them smiling from head to toe. The Jeep stuff is cute and quirky and definitely unique.
1. Cute, Festive, Jeep Christmas Tree Ornaments for 2011 - We've taken some of our favorite holiday cards and turned them into cute little Christmas Tree Ornaments. They are fun, unique and only $5.99 each. We have a few different designs. Here's the rest of the Jeep Xmas Ornaments.
2. Off-Road Tire Tracks Bottle Opener - Here's a unique gift that sure stands apart from the crowd. Take it on your off-road adventure and when it's time to indulge in that home-brewed bottled root beer, this is the off-road adventure-themed bottle opener. $8.99
3. New Jeep Jewelry - A Necklace! - This dog tag style pendant features a cute Jeep doing some rock climbing. It's a cutie and suitable for any cool Jeeper, young or old. On sale for just $11.95.

This week Chrysler announced that it could raise its financial targets for 2010 in the second half of the year and that it aims for a public offering of its stock "as quickly as possible." The new Chrysler Chief Executive Officer, Sergio Marchionne reported this on Monday, May 10th, and I think he impressed almost everyone with this announcement.
As far as I can tell, Chrysler stock has not been traded publicly since Cerebrus Capital Management bought the company in 2007 and made it privately-held. Back when it was a tradeable stock, the symbol was a "C", but that is now designated for Citibank. (What do you think the new symbol should be?)
So what's new on the horizon for Chrysler and will its stock be a good investment? Let's see, there's a new Jeep on the horizon - the all new 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee, scheduled to arrive in June. It's expensive! A few thousand bucks over $30,000. But its the first and only new offering in 2010, manufacturered under Jeep's new ownership. And so far, reviews are good.
On the other hand, according to Reuters, "Chrysler has forecast negative cash flow of $1 billion for 2010 and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of between $2.5 billion to $2.7 billion. It expects to at least break even on an operating basis in 2010 and on a net level in 2011."
Breakeven doesn't give me warm and fuzzy feelings. But I'm rooting for you Chrysler. I want you do do well. I want the stock to be traded publicly. I want it to go up. I want stockholders to be happy. I want new Jeeps coming off the production line.
So, my question is this: Would you buy Chrysler stock? What is your prognosis for the future of Chrysler? Do you believe in it enough to own a piece of it? Oh wait, we DO own a piece of it. The US Government, and all its taxpayers actually own about 10% of the Chrysler Group. But whether I purchase my own personal shares or not, I'm rooting for you Chrysler!

Boston Red Sox versus New York Yankees. Dogs versus Cats. Chocolate versus Vanilla. And Jeeps versus Hummers. As long as there have been civilian Jeeps and Hummers, there's been a rivalry. Often heated! One of the very first tee-shirts All Things Jeep produced was the "Hummer Recovery Vehicle" Tee. It was a best-seller, providing an accurate perspective of the off-road abilities of these two vehicles (as seen through the eyes of a Jeep dude.)
We sold a lot of these tees until the lawyers at GM contacted us one day and told us to stop selling them or else they would "take action". We were just a little Jeep company. We stopped selling them. But that was probably the first and last time Hummer ever bullied Jeep.
We've always enjoyed the debate, the name calling, the mockery. And the jokes about Hummers. Risque enough for us to not print them here! So, in honor of the passing of the Hummer, a small tribute. Hummer, we barely knew you. Which vehicle will Jeep owners hate now?

Our plans for the Go Topless Day 2010 Worldwide Event for ALL Jeep Owners really couldn't be going any better. Well, it could be going better. Oprah could have us on her show to discuss the benefits of going topless. Simon could tell everyone on American Idol that he was leaving the show to MC our Go Topless Day here in Lancaster. And Biden could have whispered "Go Topless Day is a big F***in Deal. But aside from all those wonderous possibilities, things are going good. Want to give you all an update.

Strattec Codeable Padlock for your JeepHow many keys are on your keyring? How big is that bulge in your pants pocket? How many times have you lost a key to one of your many locks? Depending upon the day, your answers may go like this. 13, big, five or six. So I was pretty stoked to come across this new product. The World's First Codeable Padlock by Strattec.
When you look at the packaging of this padlock, the first thing you notice is that there's no set of keys with the lock. That's because it uses one of your existing keys to unlock it. For most people, this key will be your ignition key. For me, it's the ignition key to my Jeep Wrangler.
After you open the Strattec Codeable Padlock packaging, you simply insert your ignition key into the lock, turn it a few times and the padlock "learns" your key and sets itself to be unlocked using your key. The more technical details follow, but basically this now means that you can buy a few of these padlocks, set them all to use your ignition key, and dramatically reduce the amount of keys you have to carry around (and potentially lose.)
My Jeep's key can now unlock the padlocks on the back of the All Things Jeep trailer, the lock on the trailer hitch, the metal toolbox in the back of the Jeep, the lock and chain I use to lock up our bikes, the lock on my metal locker at the gym. Well you get the idea.
At AllThingsJeep.com we sell the version that works with most all Jeep Keys and it's under $25. There are other versions available for other vehicle models too.
One key. Many locks. Pretty nifty, huh?
