Grand Slam West is a self-organized informal gathering of internet friends that are Grand Cherokee owners who want to use their Jeeps as they were intended—to drive responsibly public trails on public lands. Grand Slam West is self-organized for fun. Participation has changed from being free like previous year to a fee this year due to permit and insurance requirements for the BLM, still it is wheeling at its best and at your own risk.

Fee information: The fee is due to the insurance requirement that is needed to get the BLM permit. The fee we are charging covers the vehicle and driver, we are finalizing how we address passengers per day. More to come… Having a fee allows us to remove the 50 vehicle limit so more drivers can participate. Damage to your vehicle and body injury are possible and is strictly each driver’s responsibility. Each driver is responsible for their own vehicle and personal insurance and there are no services provided by any individual, group, or organization; the insurance required by the BLM covers BLM losses if any occur. It is a good idea to have a road service assistance plan, i.e. AAA Plus or equivalent. In prior years we had vehicle roll-overs and flops, a broken drive shaft or two, broken axles, blown radiator, several flat tires and plenty of scratches, dings, and dents. Repairs are the sole and exclusive responsibility of the vehicle owners (but many participants and organizers have a LOT of experience fixing stuff—we can usually get you at LEAST back to Moab using trail fixes). Look here for pictures and info from this year’s (2008) event. Scroll down and read the threads.

Updated Info for 2009:

We had a great 2008 event with many new participants and a large majority of the established regulars. The weather was excellent every day of the event and just touched the low 90’s on Sunday. We also had a great turn out from the sponsors and their generous donations, a great big thanks goes out to them!

We have already made one change that makes it easier to get to the sites by picking up “grandslamwest.org”. As you can tell, the other changes for 2009 are going to be based on land management regulations from the BLM that we are going to have to work with. Look for updates on the forum and here as they are being finalized. The dates have been finalized for 2009 so you can start making reservations and working on the build upgrades from equipment that you can purchase from our sponsors, be sure to thank them for their sponsorship for this years event so they continue their support.
