WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO THE JEEP LIFESTYLE?

Keri told us “I honestly always dreamed about having a Jeep Wrangler but after getting into my Jeep Patriot and really seeing what the Jeep life was all about, I just had to have more.

The amount of customizations you can do to a Jeep, the Jeep community is a family that I never thought that I needed, some of my best memories have been in my Jeep, and some of the prettiest views my Jeep has got me to.”

DO YOU HAVE A NICKNAME FOR YOUR JEEP?

Keris 2020 Jeep JLU Bikini Pearl’s name is Journey. The name actually came about because of her ‘Journey’ to the Jeep world and finally owning her dream Jeep. Keri told us it's been quite the trip to get where she is today so the name is quite fitting.

BULLETPOINT MOUNTING SOLUTIONS SETUP

Keri loves her RubiGrid® Platform Dash Mount with 2 phone mounts and the GoPro holder in the middle. She also has a CB Radio holder on the passenger side for her MidlandUSA GMRS handheld radio.

Keri told us that from the very beginning Bulletpoint has had such amazing customer service. Then when she got her hands on the actual mounts she was hooked. She loves the endless customization on her RubiGrid and that you can mount just about any gadget you could think of from any angle.

Lastly she loves that we stand behind Veterans, Active Duty Military, and Law Enforcement.

WHAT IS YOUR DAY JOB?

Keri is a Patient Registrar at a Freestanding Emergency Room. We thank her for being on the front lines during this difficult time during 2020 and into 2021!

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JEEP, WHEN DID YOU GET IT AND HOW LONG DID YOU HAVE IT?

Keri told us her very first Jeep was a 2017 Jeep Patriot Sport SE, AKA Louise. Her and her husband got her in June of 2017 and had her for 3 years before she traded it in on her dream Jeep.

Her Jeep Patriot is what started her crazy obsession with Jeeps and introduced her to the amazing people in the Jeep community.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD YOUR CURRENT JEEP?

Keri said “ I have had my current Jeep for 1 year and 5 months.” She's done quite a bit with it in a relatively short amount of time!

DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS THAT WHEEL WITH YOU?

We love what Keri told us about this. “We do not have any of our pets that wheel with us. If we brought one, then we would have to bring all of them. And quite honestly it be like a live zoo in the back of the Jeep”.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT THE JEEP COMMUNITY?

Keri’s answer is no surprise to anyone already in the Jeep community. “The friendliest group of people you will ever meet! Most of them would drop everything they are doing to help another person in need. There’s something special about getting together a group of likeminded people with the same interests and talking for hours about Jeeps”.
