Italian Stefano Bennato won the public vote to become Europe’s best ‘Jeeper’ at Camp Jeep 2017.

The  took place in Germany with Jeep owners from all over the world bringing their own Jeep 4x4s to get muddy and also to try out the new Jeep Compass.

To be in the running to be named Europe’s best ‘Jeeper’ the participants needed to be ‘hardcore of Jeep owners’ that come out to play with more than an average Jeep.

Stefano admitted that his heavily customized Wrangler pickup is far from standard, but the changes he has made make his Wrangler more exciting. Huge mud churning tyres give it extra ground clearance for climbing obstacles and it is also fitted with a heavy-duty winch…just in case.

Bennato narrowly beat the UK’s top Jeeper, Stewart Harding, who’s rugged orange V6 Wrangler proved to be very popular. It was very close right up to the final moments of voting, but in the end it was the Italian who took the crown…
