Northeast Jeep Organization, Inc.
and Baystate Jeepers, Inc.
Present The 6th Annual Great American Jeep Rally

Jeep enthusiasts have been traveling from all over the northeast to show their appreciation for Jeeps of all kinds – military, antique, new and old, stock to heavily modified. We offer hourly raffles and trophy awards for street, beater, military, antique, off-road, and others. In addition, attendees may test their Jeep’s articulation on one of the RTI Ramps and play in the Rock Garden just to name a few of the events the entire family will enjoy throughout the day. Food vendors, vendors selling Jeep ware, local organized wheeling clubs, and a TreadLightly! informational booth will also be readily available.

The mission of the Rally is to raise money for charity and continue its efforts in supporting the Northeast Association of 4 Wheel Drive Clubs (“NEA4WDC”). In addition to the NEA4WDC, this year’s Rally proceeds are going to support the Somers, CT Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Department and the Florida, MA Volunteer Fire Department.

It takes a special person to fill the boots of a volunteer firefighter. Someone with a desire to do something important for their community. Someone with courage and dedication, who isn’t afraid of hard work, and is willing to accept the challenge of a difficult job. It takes a person who considers respect and appreciation reward enough. And who is just glad to help. The Rally is proud to support the local communities where we live and play and to give back and honor those that protect us.

The NEA4WDC was established in 2001 and currently has 13 member clubs with a combined membership of over 2,000. Its mission is to protect and promote environmentally responsible Off-Highway Vehicle recreation, while maintaining a harmonious relationship between OHV enthusiasts and landowners. To support and educate Local, State and National agencies in the preservation of OHV recreation.

The members of Northeast Jeep Organization, Baystate Jeepers, and the other member clubs in the NEA4WDC have been enjoying Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation on permission granted land over the last several years. These clubs and others like them have removed tons of illegally dumped garbage from our natural areas. Our members practice the principles of Tread Lightly!®, respect private property and always leave with more than we go in with.

Please join us on Sunday, September 24th at the Four Town Fairgrounds, located in Somers, CT from 9AM to 3 PM. For more information, please contact us.

To help make this day a grand adventure, you can volunteer to work a couple of hours by contacting Marty.

Join us for another fun filled day of the best and worst Jeeps from all over the northeast. Parking inside the grounds is limited to Jeeps of all types but all 4×4 enthusiasts and members of the general public are encouraged to attend and support our mission. You never know what surprises the Rally holds in store for you! Please view and enjoy the photos from previous Great American Jeep Rallys
