Though trail driving and exploration is our main focus, it is not a requirement. The beauty and appreciation of early Jeeps, show Jeeps, military Jeeps, and unusual Jeeps is just as important. Contact your local WJA representative for more information or to arrange a meeting to discuss Membership. Alternatively, join us at one of our weekly Meet n'Greets found here by District.

Things to Remember

Always:

  • Tread Lightly
  • Respect private land, gates, fences, and obvious access blockages,
  • Pack out what you pack in,
  • Pull out of the way of those driving uphill,
  • Use a tree saver strap,
  • Avoid waterways wherever possible,
  • Carry a full sized spare,
  • Have emergency equipment, and first aid supplies,
  • Use the buddy system,
  • Have a supply of food and water,
  • Have communications gear,

Build it the right way...

  • Make it safe,
  • Make it reliable,
  • Make it capable,
  • Make it there and back!

Jeep

Have fun out there!


Jeep® more than any other brand, represents more than just a product. It represents a history, has become a generic term for all products in its sector, and portrays a way of life. Jeep is synonymous with off-road prowess, individualism, and adventure. The Westman Jeep Association exists to provide the means to live that brand. By providing support and encouragement at every step, your journey toward membership in Manitoba's first formally organized Jeep community will form a natural extension of Jeep ownership. For more information contact us at your leisure.
