Michiana Jeep Club
MJC was started in January of 2007. With the support of Lochmandy
Motors we wanted to start a Jeep Club to promote the Jeep experience
and to find out who we are waving at around Michiana. We are located
in Elkhart, IN as a base and reach out to the Michiana area. MJC
provides a unique opportunity to meet and get to know fellow Jeep
owners. We are about sharing experiences, knowledge and friendships.
Our only club requirement is that you are a licensed registered
owner of a Jeep brand model. Immediate family members would also
be included in the primary registered member. Our Club dues are
$30/year which includes a club t-shirt and decal. Renewing members
will get a free club t-shirt. Feel free to look at our BYLAWS as well.
Driving a Jeep
No matter what model of Jeep we drive, club members embrace the
fact that driving a jeep is an adventure. It’s the freedom
of knowing you can make that hill or traverse that creek or blast
through a snow covered field with confidence and safety that no
other vehicle gives you.
Trails
Many members participate in trail rides such as Badland
ORV in Attica Indiana or Silver
Lake in Michigan. As opportunities develop we will organize
rides at the mentioned locations and on private properties as
they become available. Members are always up for a adventure!
Meetings / meet-ups
We hold Club meetings the second Monday of each month @ Lochmandy
Motors (Our official MJC Clubhouse). There may be times when
a special location will be announced for an alternate meeting
place. A calendar of events will be posted on our website.
MJC plans on summer restaurant gatherings, another opportunity
to show off our rigs! We will be looking into various events such
as: Poker runs, road rallies, cook outs and even geocaching. Check
out our Forum for postings.
Camp Jeep
Camp Jeep is a Chrysler sponsored event held at various locations
accross the US. Although there it was cancelled for 2008 and 2009
we hope that it will startup again soon. 2007 Camp Jeep was held
in Blue Ridge Mountains, VA. and had Tim McGraw, B52's, Shaun
White and Tony Hawk for entertainment.
Community Events
MJC will participate in Toys
for Tots this year in conjunction with Lochmandy Motors. They
successfully provide hundreds of toys for children each year.
