Coffs Coast Jeepers

Coffs Coast Jeepers Inc. was founded in February 2004 and currently has approximately 20 active Jeepers. We are made up of people of all ages who have a sense of proud ownership of Jeeps and a passion for 4-wheel drive adventure.

The Club is restricted to Jeep owners. However, owners of other 4WD vehicles may join Club trips or activities at the invitation of a Club Member.

Coffs Coast Jeepers is a non-profit organisation formed to promote the ownership, appreciation and appropriate use of Jeep vehicles. The Club is intended to provide an opportunity for owners and drivers of Jeep vehicles to participate in four-wheel drive associated activities and social events with like minded enthusiasts. We aim to do this in a safe manner, to learn and understand more about the capabilities of our vehicles, to improve and appreciate our driving abilities and to provide regular social outings.

The Club is affiliated with the NSW 4WD Association and carries appropriate Public Liability and other insurances.

The Club meets monthly at 7pm. The location is varied and is usually preceeded by dinner. Family members are most welcome to attend. Notification of the venue is usually by SMS txt. A day trip is normally organised for the following Sunday.

Whilst on outings the Club stresses safety at all times. Members participating on trips should ensure their vehicle:
· is mechanically sound;
· has tyres in good condition with adequate tread for the trip conditions;
· carries recovery gear, including: snatch strap and rated D shackles;
· carries sufficient water and food for the planned trip; and
· is equipped with a UHF radio or a hand held UHF radio is carried.

UHF Channel 18 or 22 is used to communicate with each other whilst on Club outings.
