   These groups offer a spectrum of experiences — from neighborhood trail meets to charity rides and beyond.

Whether you’re looking for a day of dirt fun or a multi-day Jeep celebration, the region has plenty to offer.

Each year, Two Rivers Off-Road hosts two marquee events:

• Annual 4×4 Blast — a weekend packed with trail adventures, food, games, and prizes
• Annual Safari — an extended trail-running experience for all skill levels

Both events gather Jeep clubs and individual enthusiasts for an unforgettable weekend of wheeling, contests, family fun, and community spirit.

If you’re up for a bigger adventure beyond Illinois, national gatherings like Jeep Safari, Jeep Beach, and various Jeep Invasion events offer trail meets, vendor showcases, live music, and more. While not local, these annual events bring Jeep fans together from all over the country.

Being part of a Jeep club isn’t just about hitting trails — it’s about building friendships, learning new skills, and sharing unforgettable experiences. Benefits include:

• Group trail rides — safer and more fun than tackling rough terrain alone.
• Skill-building & safety tips — clubs often offer guidance on recovery techniques and off-road best practices.
• Social events & community outreach — from charity drives to seasonal gatherings, there’s always something going on.
