All Things Jeep announces the 5th Annual Worldwide GO TOPLESS DAY on May 19th, 2012 and Thousands of Jeep Owners Worldwide Expected to be Topless

San Jose, CA – March 16, 2012 –On May 19th, 2012, AllThingsJeep.com is sponsoring their 5th Annual Worldwide Go Topless Day and invites Jeep owners everywhere to participate. Go Topless Day is about celebrating the spirit of fun, freedom, and adventure that people love about Jeep and off-roading. What started as an idea for a local event in 2008 quickly grew to a worldwide phenomenon through the help of the Internet. Over 100 Jeep Clubs and several thousand more individuals on five continents participated in the event last year and this year’s Go Topless Day is expected to double that amount. For more details, visit http://www.allthingsjeep.com/go-topless-day.html.

Go Topless Day is when Jeep owners everywhere take the tops off their Jeep, and join in parades, picnics, park clean-ups and community service with fellow Jeep lovers. Last year’s Go Topless Day was the largest coordinated event among Jeep owners to ever exist. A complete photo album can be found at http://www.allthingsjeep.com/go-topless-day.html. Sign up to participate either individually or as part of a group and AllThingsJeep.com will send you materials to launch your event.

You want topless photos? We got 'em. And LOTS of them. I'm referring to our topless Jeep photos that were sent to us by all our customers celebrating our 2nd Annual Go Topless Day on May 9th, 2009.

As expected, we did actually get quite a few photos showing topless people inside topless Jeeps. However, much to the guys' dismay over here, most of the topless humans were dudes. Shameless dudes I might add! The few females sending topless photos were appropriately covered by strategically placed roll bars, dashboards and handmade posters. Thank you ladies for making sure all photos sent our way were PG. That allowed us to post them all.

Also as expected, kids and dogs played a large role in the photos we received. What can we say, we're a pushover for a cute kid in a Jeep. Does it have anything to do with the fact that maybe they'll become a long-term customer of ours if we post their photos? We can only hope!

And finally, we are thrilled with the amount of Jeep clubs participating in Go Topless Day. View the full All Things Jeep Photo Album page to see the club photo

Thank you ALL!

So, drumroll please....

Out of the 100s of photos send our way, we picked out our favorites and here they are.

HERE ARE THE winners of our Go Topless Day Photo Contest.

Each of them get a $50 Gift Certificate to www.allthingsjeep.com and this worldwide recognition! What could be sweeter.

For all the photos submitted, check out our All Things Jeep Photo Album here.

We've picked our favorite photos everyone sent in from Go Topless Day.

Let me first say, they are all awesome! Thank you so much for playing along. It was so much fun and pretty heartwarming (if you want to get all touchy feely) that so many Jeep owners decided to join in the camaraderie of the day. We want to give all our customers a heartfelt thank you. Truly you are awesome!

So here are the winning entries (picked by us, simply because we loved them and they made us smile.) For the complete photo album of the day, check out

ALL THINGS JEEP "GO TOPLESS DAY" PHOTOS

1. This is Josh and his 2001 TJ Sport in Othello, WA. Besides setting up a great shot of his Jeep against the scenery, he sucked up a little by making a poster and wearing one of our sweatshirts. AND, he looks like he had fun doing it. This is an awesome photo.

2. This is Michael P and his mystery date. What can you say about this photo. Both completely topless and completely G-rated. Just as we hoped. Wonder what they did  after the picture was snapped. (2005 Wrangler Unlimited, Petersburg, VA, but we know you don't care about that stuff)

3. When we began this contest we wondered if we'd see a Barbie Jeep in the mix. Heck, it was MY first Jeep (and I killed many of my brother's lesser capable rigs while driving it.) This is Aunt Amy and Charlie, driving their 2004 Wrangler Rocky Mountain Edition Jeep and 2008 Jeep Wrangler Barbie Edition, respectively. As we like to say, "A girl and her Jeep, it's a beautiful thing".

4. A family of Jeep Wrangler JKs. Life really must be good for Tiffany and her friend in Florence, KY. Made better yet when the hammocks are hooked up and you're relaxing along the side of a trail. She wrote us "Is there anything more fun than taking the top off a Jeep? I think not!!!" I think we agree.

5. Here's another photo taking advantage of cute kids. (Works every time.) These little guys were bribed with gummy bears and quarters into doing their job by Katrina. Sounds like it was hard work!

So each of the winners above will get a $50 Gift Certificate to All Things Jeep (http://www.allthingsjeep.com/.) Thank you again. It is so much fun going through these photos.

There are a few "honorable mentions" we'd like to post here though 'cuz they are so good.

Michael M. in Chillicothe, OH was completely dedicated to the cause. He is a Jeeper that comes prepared! First we got the photo of his topless and doorless 2000 Wrangler Sport, prepared for the weather. And like any good Jeeper, he didn't let a little rain stop his fun. So there's the photo of him in his Jeep, his umbrella up, reading his newspaper dated May 3rd, 2008 - go topless day. You've got to admire his determination!

Our other honorable mention goes to Herman in Johannesburg, South Africa. Because of the time zones, Herman was the first person in the world (that we know of) to celebrate Worldwide Go Topless Day. We appreciate his support!

Thank you everyone for your posed pictures, your wheelin' pictures, your muddin' photos and your participation.

PS - We wouldn't be able to sleep at night if we didn't show you one last photo. It's the one that made me cry (no kidding!) I'm a softy and will cry at the Hallmark commercials, but come on, this photo just tugged at my heart. If you don't at least smile, you need to get out in the Jeep more.

Unbelievable response to Go Topless Day. Our inbox is full of photos from everyone that had a good time taking the top off their Jeeps and celebrating the sheer joy of a topless Jeep. I'd call it "unbridled enthusiasm" or absolute craziness. (You choose.) In any case, we'll be posting lots of photos over the next week and after that picking our top 5 favorite photos for the $50 Gift Certificates to http://www.allthingsjeep.com/.

Our photo album has been started. Here it is:
