About Mopar Brand
Mopar (a simple contraction of the words Motor and PARts) was trademarked in 1937 with the launch of an antifreeze product, but it truly made its mark in the 1960s during the muscle-car era.

Today, Mopar is FCA’s service, parts and customer-care brand and distributes more than 500,000 parts and accessories in over 150 markets around the world. With more than 50 parts distribution centers and 27 customer contact hubs globally, Mopar integrates service, parts and customer-care operations in order to enhance dealer and customer support worldwide. Mopar is the source for genuine parts and accessories for FCA brands.

Mopar parts are engineered together with the same teams that create factory-authorized specifications for FCA vehicles. This offers a direct connection that no other aftermarket parts company can provide. A complete list of Mopar accessories and performance parts is available at: www.mopar.com.

Hey Guys,
Been a listener for a while. Would be great to get your perspective on the clubs you run in and the different types. I know up here in the Sierra foothills there are family clubs, hardcore clubs, etc. I’m new to the Jeep experience and having a great time, but looking for a club that can teach a newbie how to have fun and wheel properly. Now that Greg’s rig is getting fixed up for SEMA, that puts a damper on my idea of doing some light wheeling with him and my 2015 stock JKU!
