On Thursday April 30th 2009, Chrysler officially declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
So now what happens?
Will the beloved Jeep survive, or will it disappear into the sunset as GM has slated for such brands as the Hummer, Saturn and Pontiac?
Every year, from March through October, Jeep hosts their official Jeep Jamboree events at some of the most beautiful trails all across the U.S.
They call it a Jeep owner's off-road driving tradition:
Jeep Jamborees are fun, family-oriented, four-wheel-drive adventures for Jeep vehicle owners that bring together the outdoors, down-to-earth people, and their Jeep 4x4s. -- Jeep
We all know that dogs love Jeeps. But there's no denying that kids love Jeeps, too -- probably even more!
I know the times we've taken our nephew Jeepin' he's had the time of his life, especially when we had the soft top off the Jeep Wrangler.
In case you're thinking of buying a Jeep... or taking your little one for a ride in a Jeep someday soon... I found some interesting things about kids and Jeeps that you might enjoy.
When we went to Aruba in November, we knew ahead of time that we were going to go Jeeping. Still, we waited until the last minute to reserve our Jeep.
As a result, we got what must have been THE last Jeep left to be rented on the island that day!
The lesson: don't wait til the day before to rent your Jeep. Book it a couple days early. Make your reservations through the concierge at your hotel or phone the major Jeep rental companies (like Hertz, Budget, etc) directly.
Jeep rentals in Aruba are reasonable: $50 to $60 for the full day (non-4WD vehicles are much cheaper for the day).

The island is only 19 miles long and 6 miles wide, so as long as you start early in the morning, you're likely to get all of the major sights in. It's a great way to spend a day in Aruba!
Here's what our fun-filled day of Jeeping was like in Aruba...
