SublimeDom777 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Made it back to Pittsburgh and rolled 224k out on the turnpike. Thanks all for a good weekend even though the sun was trying to kill us. Managed to hit 20.75 mpg total for the trip. My truck loved the highway driving I'll post the few pics I took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I haven't heard of any Jeep only shows out here. The clubs probably put something together but I don't have any contact with any of these clubs.

Pete M Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 we'll need to start a new thread so we can get a handle on the where/when of all the shows. I'll throw something together in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheKid45 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Thanks for the shout-out! The MJ in picture#4 is also mine. I managed to pop a wheel cylinder on the rock course. Hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Well, that's a wrap on over 1500 miles in the MJ over the weekend. I made it to Pennsylvania and back with absolutely no trouble, hiccups, or even any worries. The truck was smooth and quiet the whole way - a real pleasure to drive on long trips. Even in the extreme heat, the temperature gauge never reached 210 even on a long hill. This reaffirms my complete confidence in my '91 for any kind of long trip. This was also my introduction to bringing my own vehicle to a car show. It was a great experience and I'll definitely be entering my truck in more shows in the future. This was an amazing weekend and I wish we could have things like this all of the time. It was great to meet everyone. @kryptronic was an incredible host and an all-around great guy who I happen to have A LOT in common with. @SublimeDom777 made us some absolutely delicious food as well, including some of the best cake I've had in my entire life. I look and feel kind of like a boiled lobster (for those who can't tell in the pics, I have very fair skin and burn very quickly in the sun even with sunscreen, but never get a tan), but it was totally worth it. I'd hop back in the truck and do it all again tomorrow. Misc. notable stuff: - My last-second A/C compressor swap and recharge held up beautifully. - I averaged a little over 19mpg throughout the entire trip, with one tank being over 20. - I had the only automatic Comanche in the CC group, and maybe the only one in the show. - @Pete M your bedliner is now within easy reach. I'll keep it safe in the meantime - I managed to stop myself from buying too many radios. In fact, I bought none. I did bring home a D44 and a power mirror switch though, so I think it evens out. Both will be featured on my build thread in the near to far future. - TWO BIG THUMBS UP for cruise control, added just in time for the show!
