Thanks to RacingSouthwest.com member, livin_in_a_cell for putting these videos together.  There are 5 parts in total that equal out to around 50 minutes of video.  We’ll be posting the next few videos throughout the week.

The New Mexico Virtual Jeep Club came about during the summer of 2002. After several months of exchanging ideas and tips with other Jeepers around the area, a couple astute members realized they weren’t the only ones in the Albuquerque area.

The member list blew up in a few short days, from the original 2 or 3 names, until the day of our first ‘real’ run, when it included about 12 individuals and families with the common foresight and good taste to own a Jeep vehicle. As of May 2008, our numbers near 1000 members.

What NMVJC does?
We Jeep, therefore we are.

Why does NMVJC do it?
It’s Virtual Jeep Thing, your computer wouldn’t understand.

When does NMVJC do it?
Whenever there’s enough interest from members to get together and see the more scenic side of New Mexico, they start asking other members. The trips aren’t carved in stone months ahead of time like some other clubs.

Whatcha gotta have.
* A Jeep. Any year, make, or model, but ya gotta have a Jeep. Like the ad says “Only in a Jeep”
* A driver. Having a license is even better.
* A computer helps, since it’s the link to the others. All the meetings are held online through the NMVJC website and at group meetings at the end of the trail.
* The name says New Mexico. So being a resident helps, but exceptions may be made for visitors and others who enjoy the Land of Enchantment.
* Regular maintenance on the Jeep will help keep you going on the trail. It’s always easier to change parts in the garage than on the trail.

Whatcha don’t need!!

* Attitude.
* Alcohol. A cold one at the end of the trail is fine, but not while we’re driving.
* A $50,000 super truck. First of all, you’re already in a Jeep, and secondly, see the first “whatcha don’t need”
* Superior driving skills. If it’s your first drive off-road in a stock Jeep, NMVJC willl help you.
