All Things Jeep Blog & Musings

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.

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
