Recap: New Jersey Fall Jeep Invasion & Oracle Lighting After Party

By Terry Pritchard

This past weekend, the New Jersey Fall Jeep Invasion brought Jeep enthusiasts together on the Ocean City Boardwalk for one of the most unique Jeep events of the season. Hundreds of Jeep owners and fans gathered to show off their rigs, explore the latest aftermarket upgrades, and share in the incredible community spirit that makes the Jeep lifestyle so unique.

At the New Jersey Fall Jeep Invasion, Jeep owners purchase a ticket for the event, which grants them exclusive access to park directly on the iconic Ocean City Boardwalk. The experience begins with a parade-like entrance as the throngs of Jeeps cruise along the boards, creating an impressive sight for spectators and participants alike. Once parked, these Jeeps remain on display throughout the day, giving attendees the chance to walk the boardwalk, admire the variety of builds, and connect with fellow Jeep enthusiasts in a one-of-a-kind setting.

As proud sponsors of the event, Oracle Lighting had a blast connecting with Jeep owners throughout the day and capping off the night with our exclusive after party at Ludlum Island Brewery. The highlight of the evening? Our Best Lighting Contest, where Jeepers showcased their brightest, boldest, and most creative lighting setups.

We’re excited to announce the winners:

• Winner: Barbaros Dogan from Palmyra, PA – Barbaros’ Jeep turned heads with a show-stopping lighting display that combined performance and creativity. His setup truly embodied the spirit of aftermarket lighting innovation.
• Runner-Up: John Warnet from Bloomfield, NJ – John impressed the judges and the crowd with a dynamic lighting build that lit up the night and proved just how much personality the right lighting can add to a Jeep.

Congratulations to both Barbaros and John, and thank you to everyone who participated and joined us for an unforgettable night.

From the boardwalk to the brewery, the New Jersey Fall Jeep Invasion was the perfect way to celebrate the Jeep community. We’re already looking forward to next year!
