Smokey Mountain Jeep Invasion 2023

[AZVAJKU]

We are in Pigeon Forge, TN for the Smokey Mountain Jeep Invasion. We have attended the last couple years and this years is even bigger than last year. There are tens of thousands of Jeeps here. This is not like Easter Jeep Safari in Moab. This is more of a giant Jeep rally and car show with a vendor show thrown in. There are no trail rides, it’s more about just showing off your Jeeps. You see some interesting Jeeps here.

In addition to all the Jeeps there is also a bunch of stuff to do on the ‘Redneck Riviera’- as it’s called. This area is also known for its moonshine.

There are a lot of street oriented Jeeps here.

Just when you think you have seen it all somebody comes out with this.



This is an LED light ring.

There are also some cool old Jeeps and some Jeeps actually set up for the trail.

Awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing. Besides the first batch of hideous creations lol Not sure what everyone’s obsession is with ducks… my wife told me she would get me one, I told her it was going to the dogs as a toy

It's like Disneyland for Jeeps. Awesome pics, thanks for sharing.

But like the Disneyland that pushes gay and trans things.

My wife and I attended 8 or 9 years ago when it was super small. There was probably half a dozen vendors at the time. I've got a buddy and his family that are there. I'd like to go back but I'm not sure I could deal with.the people. Thanks for the pictures! Looking forward to more then I can just attend through you
