    Let's Go Jeepin(tm) is incorporated in the state of Illinois and based in Chicago. LGJ is a small business owned by Dora Fang. We have partnered with the Badlands Off-Road Park in Attica, Indiana to offer 4x4 owners in the midwest a fun, safe, and effective way to learn about their vehicle, understand trail safety and etiquette, and become a better driver on and off-road. Dora is a Chief Instructor for United Four Wheel Drive Associations in the Midwest and has received training in First Aid and CPR from the American Red Cross. She drives a 1997 Jeep® Cherokee and went jeepin for the first time at the Pine Barrens Jeep® Jamboree a few years ago with tow hooks (only because they were mandatory on the trip, they were installed the night before she left for the trip) and a tow strap. The event was the most fun she could remember having in many years, even though she submerged her brand new Cherokee in water up to the hood! The camaraderie and fun she had with the people she met changed her life.

    Upon returning to Washington, DC, she met some experienced jeepers at a parts store who took her under their wing and taught her basic off-roading skills. That summer, every other weekend was spent four wheeling through the backcountry of Maryland and Virginia. She joined a four wheel drive club, signed on to a few email lists about jeepin, and the rest is history!

    To date, she has been jeepin in Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois. On her wish list of place to go are Moab, Utah; the Rubicon Trail in California, the mountains in Colorado, and Tellico near Murphy, North Carolina. She belongs to the following clubs, organizations, lists, and forums:

  • Tread Lightly! Outfitter Member
  • United Four Wheel Drive Associations Supporting Member
  • NAXJA - North American XJ Association Charter Member
  • Two Rivers Jeep Club
  • City Boyz Jeepin'

  • the ZJ, short wheel base, jeep tech, and more lists...
Today, she drives her Cherokee just about anywhere and has been given the CB handle and nickname of "Dora-ble". You will always find her on trail with her dog Sugar Bear and the memory of her and Sugar Bear's buddy Samantha who went to doggie heaven July 1999. It's just as much fun surprising people on trail with the girl in the little red Cherokee as it always was!

    LGJ's board of directors, advisors, and vendors (accountant, insurance, web stuff, stickers) are either dedicated off-roaders or were referred to us by off-road friends. Their vehicles include the following:

  • 1966 CJ-5
  • 1977 CJ-7
  • 97 TJ
  • 1987-1999 XJs
  • and more...

    All major decisions are run by this group for feedback. Without their support and generosity, the company would never have gotten off the ground. Profiles of these tremendous people will be coming soon... Please feel free to contact LGJ with any suggestions YOU may have!
