    AZVJC History


    The Arizona Virtual Jeep Club (AZVJC) was formed in August of 1998 by readers of the rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys newsgroup. This list is for discussion and planning of off-road trips and related local Jeep and backcountry topics. Unlike other 4x4 clubs, membership has no dues and no monthly meetings. We do have good folk, enthusiasm, Jeeps, e-mail and online formats, and a love for off-roading Arizona. The original club was email majordomo based (meaning to communicate with other members you sent an email that went to a yahoo groups server and then was forwarded to all members of the group).

    In 2003, the Yahoo Groups AZVJC voted to create a BBS format to allow members who prefered an online webpage communication format to migrate to the forum style. Since the creation of the AZVJC there have been many new groups "spun off" of this original group to pursue their specialized interests whether they be rock crawling or expedition style off-roading.

    The AZVJC is the largest off-road club in Arizona...with good reason... you will not find a better group of people on the face of the earth... willing to go out of their way to help other members with practically anything they need. We are not just a Jeep group; we are a family.

    So let's get started! To join, simply click on the register link at the top of this page!

    A picture of your Jeep could be on the AZVJC Banner! 


    If you'd like to see a picture of your Jeep on the homepage of the Arizona Virtual Jeep Club, Arizona's largest online off-road community... here's what you need to do.

    1. Take a picture of your rig on an Arizona obstacle from THE SAME perspective as the red Jeep you see in the placeholder on our current banner.
    a) The picture needs to be taken from BELOW your Jeep.
    b) Your entire Jeep must be in the photograph.
    c) Some arizona terrain must be visible BELOW your Jeep (reference the red Jeep picture in our current banner).
    d) The front and one side of your Jeep must be visible.
    e) Your Jeep can be horizontal, pointing up at an angle or down at an angle (we can adjust the angle to be what we need)
    f) Your Jeep must right side up (which, for the purposes of this contest means tires on the terrain)

    2. Preference will be given to Jeeps with an AZVJC Decal on the side (although we can photoshop one in if necessary).

    3. Terrain includes rocks and dirt... If your tire is touching an endangered milk-vetch weed... your picture will not be considered.

    4. Pictures should be in one of the 3 categories:
    a) Willys / Military Era
    b) CJ /YJ Era
    c) TJ or later Era

    5. A winner will be picked from each of the 3 categories and there will be a style page created for each winner allowing users to choose which style they want displayed on their AZVJC page.

    6. My Scrambler will not be a winner

    7. Post your photographs in the appropriate thread in the general forum:

    Cash In Your Reputation Points for Membership! 


    AZVJC uses a reputation system to reward members for outstanding contributions to the club, members with high reputations can "cash-in" their reputation points for sponsorships... effectively giving them the benefits of a sponsorship with no cost. If you want to trade in your reputation points for a membership, just send Joe West a PM and let him know what sponsorship level you want:

    Bronze 200 points
    Silver 400 points
    Gold 600 points
    Platinum 1000 points

    Once your reputation points are cashed-in, they will be deducted from your reputation level and you will be given a 1 year sponsorship at the level you chose.
