I have been to this since the second one! They had a bit of a hiccup last year and had to postpone. But looks like its back this year!!

 

Good prizes, events, Vendors, good food and some great Jeep people. OH Yea... LOTS of JEEPS!!!

 

I'll be there, hopefully with BOTH my Jeeps!!

 

You coming?

There is no way to anticipate how many MJs there might be. The Great American Jeep Rally isn't a "rally," it's more of a car show for Jeeps. ALL Jeeps, and in previous years they have been liberal enough about what constitutes a "Jeep" to allow a guy to bring in an AM General Army surplus deuce and a half. There will be hundreds of Jeeps, but there might be only half a dozen MJs.

 

If I go, more than likely I'll have to take an XJ. Somers is an hour and a half from home, and right now my MJ doesn't like to run more than 10 or 15 minutes before cutting out.

If anyone going to this event needs any SMALL parts I might have or be able to remove from two junker XJs, send me a PM with what you're looking for and I'll see what I have. No large body parts. I'll be in the XJ, most likely, so I'd prefer not to try to haul anything that won't fit inside.

Well,We just got home form the rally. Met and just missed a couple CC members!!

 

Jackal, good to put a face with the name!!

 

I also just missed Dr Thunder, sorry man, you met me pops!! (Ted Nugent wanna be)

 

Good show, over 600 Jeeps in attendance!! Not such a good Comanche showing, :cry: I saw 5 counting mine. Herd of, I think Jackal mentioned it, one with a 97+ front end that I didn't see.

 

Here are some of the highlights:

That is one scary looking XJ...

 

This is a show only deal AFAIK, Its DS angles are WAY WACKED. ESP the front!!!! Verrrry scary!!! I remember talking to the guy a couple years back, he had only just finished the lift the day before and didn't even have the drive shafts in it. But its nice enough LOOKING. :roll: :D

 

Johnny,

I didn't see that one, Jackal mentioned it but I missed it. I saw the very clean camo camper top MJ at the front. The Red one in the pic, a Green long bed half way down on the extreme right, Then just a bit further was a blue/blk short bed and mine makes five.

 

I was there early and had a spot right up front with both my rigs. The TJ was to the right as you come in second row. Next to the security cabin.

The MJ was all the way to the fence on the left.
