Small ducks are standard giveaways at Jeep events and this inflatable duck took it to a new level.

Alpine showcased two loaded 2018 Jeep Wranglers in their booth. In addition a 2015 Jeep Wrangler was on-site outfitted with Jeep specific solutions designed for older model Jeeps.

The Soundwaves Tampa crew stayed busy with full install bays during the event.

Better weather started the day on Saturday as the large Alpine staff, Opus Marketing team members and the Soundwaves Tampa crew assisted Jeepers with demos, sales and installations. DOW Technologies had a team on site that provided logistical support with a large truck filled with Alpine inventory. The Soundwaves Tampa crew traveled from Tampa FL, 1100 miles to Wildwood, pulling a trailer filled with tools and supplies to complete the many on-site installations for Jeepers attending the 2024 Jeep Invasion.

The 2024 New Jersey Jeep Invasion wrapped on Sunday under a sunny clear sky. Three images above from @dowtechnologies.
