Getting Jeep Tb 2006

April 6, 2006

I have moved some TBs and have noticed the 2004 & 2005 jeep TBs. I know what they are for, but how do they distribute the jeeps. For example, are they doing a 2006 Jeep contest this year. Do I go to a site and purchase the jeeps or what do they do? ALSO Where can I see a list of the winners for 2005? The results of both the Jeep winner and the monthly Garmin Drawing winners? Just wondering. I have done searches on the net for both and haven't come up with any answers. The Jeep site only lets you know the contest is over and answers older questions. Can someone help me out. Thanks

The winners for each of the 2005 monthly contests are listed here. I'm pretty sure that the winner of the Jeep was the last one on that page ("Jeep Help Everyone"), but I'm not 100% certain.

Good luck, I'm still waiting for my letter from the contest company with the winners name request that I mailed. The letter that THEY say they will send to those that request it with a name of the winner.

I don't think there has been an offical announcment saying so, but everyone seems to hope so.

The last two years the jeeps have disseminated from Groundspeak threw cache reviewers to state and local groups, then to cacher around such areas, and eventally into geocaches.

Do I go to a site and purchase the jeeps or what do they do?

The jeeps were bough by damierjeep corp and released by Groundspeak. You do not need to buy anything. If you find one, log it, and move it on.

No idea, maybe someone else knows.

1. This is accurate. There was a thread where the winning photographer of "Jeep Help Everyone" came in and posted, but I'm too lazy to find it.

2. Don't assume that the structure of any 2006 promotion will be like the 2005 promotion, just as there were significant differences between the 2004 and 2005 promotions.

April 8, 2006

I was hoping this was a for real thing. With the hype and promotion of the jeeps, you would think there would be alot of hoopla over the winner/winners at years end. Not even a banner or notation in geocaching.com. Is is a hoax or for real. Are the promotors , promoting or just getting alot of free advertising. Just wondering. I did a search at jeep and on the net and no final conclussions as to a winner. What is going on??? Just wondering. I like the jeep idea, but what is actually going on at the end. Winner or No Winner??

I clicked on the "Jeep Help Everyone" picture's link, and it brought me to the log for it; it was taken by malandro95. On malandro95's profile page, it says that he was indeed the winner of the Jeep. (It was also mentioned in the Jeep TB Contest 2005 thread -- in this post.)

The contest was real. I won one of the GPS units and had a whole lot of fun trying to win. If I can win anyone can. Of course I thought my picture was also going to win the jeep. It was fun hoping though. The photo entry was called "Frogs being Toad". I have not heard anything yet about the 2006 contest. I also never heard if Melandros ever got his jeep? I know he was upset because it was going to be a 2wd. Go figure.

He was more disappointed than upset. Having a Jeep 4x4 contest with the grand prize being a brand new Jeep, my expectation would have been a 4x4 as well.

I too remember a thread a while back with a list of winners, but can't find it today.

In the end, he was able to swap it out for a 4x4 Grand Cherokee. I haven't heard if he got it yet though.

Since the Jeep.geocaching.com site says "See you in 2006", there will obviously be another contest this year.

I think the easiest way to know when these are out would be to check the trackable tab on this page...

I hope they show up soon

Anyone else notice that most of the monthly winners never moved the TB back into a cache!?!

Even Mugglefinder apparently found a way to make it look like he put it in a cache without actually doing so.

Was this by design, or just another example of chronological grownups displaying little boy greed?

Great tip GeoBlank

2004 & 2005's Jeep TB's didn't make thier way into caches until early to mid June of each year, so there's still hope. Yet, I'm skeptical since last year's contest began 1 year ago today and there's been no mention, much less hype, about a 2006 contest. I would think we'd be able to see the new set of trackables on the above mentioned profile if they were about to hit caches soon.... and I was really hoping to see a Jeep Unlimited TB for a chance to win an all new '07 Wrangler.

BTW, I tried the obvious route of emailing Jeep4x4 from the profile. Groundspeak delivery system bounced it back as undeliverable ... bummer! :laughing:

June 7, 2006

Whoo hoo!!!

Just received this in my email today

"Hi Charles,

Thank you for your interest in the Ultimate Jeep 4x4 Geocaching Challenge. This year's event is slated to start in early August 2006. Stay tuned and keep an eye out on the Geocaching.com home page for updates as we draw closer to August. For general information, you can also visit this site: http://jeep.geocaching.com. I hope that helps!

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

There is going to be a contest after all again.

I CAN NOT WAIT :blink:

Five bucks says someone complains about the handling of this contest even before the are released.

I don't think 3 out of 15 qualifies as "most of the monthly winners". I'm glad to say that "most" of us (myself included) got those jeeps back in circulation.

June 11, 2006

I find it very irritating and extremely selfish that people hourd the white and yellow jeep travel bugs, since there is nobody to get after them for keeping 'their' bug for too long. I came upon a cacher's trackables page that shows 16 white jeeps in their possession. :anicute: :blink: Jeep Hog

I, for one, started geocaching last Christmas. I missed both contests, but still find it fun to log jeeps. I have moved two white and one yellow jeep. Selfish hoarders like this just make me sick. Lots of cachers have never found a white or yellow jeep TB, and would like to even though the contests are over.

Send a note to the people at Groundspeak. It is obvious that the person knows that they should travel. If enough people complain, maybe they will be released.

Thank you for your analysis Dr. Freud, but please allow me point out that the word "most" generally refers to "over 50%". "My" Jeep was back in a cache in 5 days, so I take offense to your ridiculous generalization.

June 21, 2006

If you havn't been to http://jeep.geocaching.com/ lately you may want to check it out. The 2005 contest page is gone and has been replace with a temporary page that says "The 2006 Jeep Geocaching Challenge is about to start! Please come back to this site on June 27th for details."

That's it, nothing else. Its still nice to see an official confirmation of the '06 contest. :rolleyes:

Jeep4x4's profile does *not* show any new trackables

Now remember, the object is to enter the contest and move the travel bug along.

W00t! I guess I'll have a small shot this year at finding a jeep during the contest! Looks like fun to me!

June 24, 2006

I'm not complaining but I am hoping the prize won't be a Compass. I started getting concerned that Chrysler is diluting the Jeep brand when they introduce the Liberty. The Compass now deepens that worry. The Wrangler has always been thier icon product and its all new from the ground up in '07 .... eh, what do I care, I'd chase the bugs even if there was no prize.

I've always been under the impression (with most contests) you could take the money instead of the actual car/jeep. I don't want a prize and then pay taxes out of my own pocket.

Was told the distrubtion was different this year then the past. I hope each state gets a fair shot at getting jeeps since they are doing it different this year.
