Way to represent yourselves and indeed all jeepers well guys! Great job! /s

Sounds like a typical spring break. Drunk idiots getting arrested and hurting themselves. Just with Jeeps.

tooth count is higher than IQ on that side of Galveston

doesn't count if there's not pictures of women in bikinis.............

Not sure where the picture came from in the original post but there's a lot of trucks and side by sides out there. Not just Jeepers. These things get out of control with any large gathering. Just look at Sturgis.

The photo makes it look like more of a pick up truck meet up. It apprears to have more trucks then jeeps in the picture!

"The yearly event started out as a gathering solely for Jeep fans, but that changed over the last several years as the event increasingly drew crowds who weren’t Jeep enthusiasts, Nolen said.

Official Jeep clubs and fans began to pull away from the Crystal Beach area, located along Texas’ Bolivar Peninsula that borders the Gulf of Mexico, to meet elsewhere in the state, Nolen said – but that hasn’t stopped others from coming into the area."

Sounds like it wasn't necessarily a "Jeep" event anymore, and that photo looks like all P/U trucks.

Yep. But I wonder how many of those arrested had Jeeps? One report said the woman fell out of a side-by-side.

Banish them from the community. Selfish immature irresponsible jerks have no place ruining the reputation of responsible off road enthusiasts. Crucify their ducks, burn their angry eye grills, pillage their unused recovery gear, drink their white claw and recycle the can, reserve the trash for the animals piloting these vehicles

I've heard that it has become a free for all - not just Jeep folks. I like to think that the trouble-makers are the bros in the squatted trucks with giant flags.

This is the only non-news story I've seen about Crystal Beach Go Topless Day this year. Not my kind of scene at all, but to each their own I guess.

Most of that down there isn’t the Jeeps for topless weekend. The jeep groups left a few years ago and now go to Surfside. Everyone down there knows crystal beach is always a shit show. You also had graduation parties going on etc. a lot that goes to CB is sxs, rednecks with paychecks trucks, etc. (grew up down there and still have family there)
Every year you’ll see everyone bashing go topless weekend there. Wait to Memorial Day. Or during spring break. It’s just as crazy. Lol.

Pretty sure this same news story comes out every year. They just change the year and increase the number of arrests.
