I think pronouncing it like the g in goat is appropriate
I pronounce it like the J in Jesus.
So the farmer can also be called a jeep wrangler?
hip, obviously jesus is pronounciated with x. 🙃
🤲
Wikitionary says "j" like jeep: d͡ʒiːp
But in Irish it's pronounced Guinness
From 2014... here's an update from 2016 with video:

In case the embedded video doesn't load:
"Return of the geep" is one of the best headlines that I'll ever see.
That's quite an accent on that farmer.
My hero!
He's a geeper!
