It's a full two-day, family oriented four-wheel-drive adventure that's probably unlike anything you've ever experienced. Jeep Jamborees cater to every level of expertise so they're fun for everyone - from novice to veteran and everyone in between. Any Jeep vehicle with a 4-LO transfer case can participate - that includes everything from showroom stock all the way up to highly modified rigs. Experienced guides help navigate you through scenic switchbacks and some of the most challenging off-highway situations you never thought your Jeep vehicle was capable of. And, perhaps best of all, you'll be meeting and making new friends every day.

Actual itineraries vary trip to trip, but here's a sample: (More comprehensive info will be sent 6-8 weeks prior to the event.)

Of course! Most new Jeep 4x4 vehicles with a 4-LO transfer case are Trail Rated(r) and are tested on demanding 4x4 trails. See pages 10 and 11 for guidelines.

Wrangler is the recommended vehicle for the Rubicon Trail Jamboree. Your Jeep(r) four-wheel-drive vehicle is required to be in good condition, with good tires, brakes, and seat belts. In addition, we require prior approval for larger Jeep 4x4s, such as Grand Wagoneers and J-Series Pickups. Jeep Jamboree USA reserves the right to refuse participation to any applicant whose vehicle exceeds size restrictions.

Every effort is made by Jeep Jamboree USA to make the trails as safe as possible. Participants are advised to closely follow instructions given by trail guides, spotters, and Jeep Jamboree USA. However, there's the possibility of damage to your vehicle when traveling rough terrain. Any damage is the owner's responsibility. Jamborees with higher difficulty ratings (page 10) are likelier to encounter terrain that may contribute to vehicular damage. Participants are required to sign a waiver form. (See page 30 for Authentic Jeep Accessories by Mopar that can help protect your vehicle from damage.)

It varies. Most Jeep(r) Jamborees feature multiple trails with varying degrees of difficulty.
