ABOUT US
WHY WE WERE CREATED…
Jeep Enthusiasts of Eastern PA or J.E.E.P. for short, was founded in March of 2018. We started because of a want for a Jeep club based out of Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania that was for everyone. Our goal from the beginning is to be a club where every Jeep lover is welcome and you can get to know some other local Jeep enthusiasts. We are a family friendly club and all are welcome, from stock Jeeps to heavily modified Jeeps, and everything in between. The only requirement is that you have a passion for Jeeps. We have different events throughout the year and try to have something for everyone. We have grown into a great group of Jeep lovers of all kinds and we hope you will join us!
IT ALL STARTED WHEN….
Brandon, Terry, and Bill’s Jeep at the first event… Jeep Enthusiasts of Eastern PA goes to Weyerbacher Brewing!
The founders Brandon, Terry, & Bill at Weyerbacher Brewery.
Brandon and Terry met on a nationwide Jeep Facebook group from a simple post from Terry “Is anyone in the Allentown, PA area?” Brandon saw that post and since they were both from the area they started talking Jeep. Both agreed there was not an active club for Jeeps in the area that didn’t primarily focus on off-roading. Brandon had the idea to act on this and approached Terry about starting a Jeep club with the focus of fun and giving back. Terry was on board and the club took its first step to becoming real. Terry had the perfect name in his pocket, Jeep Enthusiasts of Eastern PA, which the acronym spells JEEP. There was no sense in looking any further for a name when that was the perfect one. Next was a very crude logo, a Facebook page, and a plan for a first event. It was decided to go to Weyerbacher Brewing Company, because why not a brewery? The event was created as a drive from Emmaus, PA to Weyerbacher in Easton, PA taking back roads. The day of the event was the first day Brandon and Terry met in person. They were joined by one other person on this first event, Bill. The three of them, meeting for the very first time, took that drive and had beers discussing what else but Jeeps. The 3 of them hit it off and the rest is history. There was nothing like this club in the area and the club just took off way beyond our wildest dreams. Since conception in 2018 we have done so much and have come so far. It is with the help from great Jeep lovers that we can be what we are, a club for everyone with the only focus being on the vehicle we all love and the lifestyle as a whole that comes with it.
