Default New Chicago Area Jeep Club

Hello, my name is Gene and I live in Melrose Park. I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be any real Jeep clubs in the Chicago area so I was thinking about starting one. I don't know much about starting a club so Im looking for people that would be interested in starting a club with me and helping out. The Hope is to get to meet some more jeep people maybe a BBQ or Off Road trip and some mod parties. I understand the process might start out slow. I was also thinking of starting a facebook group so communication would be better and we could get to know each other somewhat. I was thinking of keeping the club limited to Jeep Wranglers for now but any suggestions are welcome. If anyone one is interested please post hear, pm me or email me at ILJeepClub@gmail.com (working title on club name ). Thanks again hope to hear from you.

Hello,

well to start off welcome!

I agree with JK fisher I would join in on one of our suds and grubs along with coming to a wrenching party. there is a lot involved with starting a jeep club along money. I personally will never join an "official" jeep club. first off they are meant for new people coming into the jeep world and for people that have never 4 wheeled before in there life or they have friends in the group already that they like to hang out with before hand.

We have a group of people that wheel together and hang out together we call our self (Dirty Delta's) this is not a club of any sorts its just a group of friends with none of the Club Drama that i have seen elsewhere.

come on out April 28th and have a few beers with us it is always a great time!!!
