Introduction from York
« on: July 07, 2012, 09:27:13 am »
Just Got a Jeep YJ, details in signature line, installed a lift lift, mud tires and a tow hook after fixing all the maintenance items the previous owner neglected. I am looking for some easy trails in York that I could hit to see how it does offload. I heard there is trails rd and saginaw but I do not know where they are at?  Are they legal? Any other options?

I plan on attending this event. Do I have to register to go on the course or can spectators drive the course?

You need to register to go on the course and bring your Jeep into the show ground. Look forward to seeing you at the show.

Which day would be better for getting time on the course?  It looks like there is less going on on Sunday. See you there!

Yes, the majority of the activies take place on Saturday. Sunday is more or less a "hang-out" day. The vendors are still open for business and the course is open for 7 hours of enjoyment.
Then at 3 PM we have the awards ceremony followed up with the HUGE event ending raffle of merchandise which exceed's $10,000.00 in value.

Will there be non-show Jeeps in the event? My Jeep is no show jeep but I'd like to do the course so I am going to register.

Thanks for the compliment on the jeep, it is a 20 footer. I have a lot of little things to fix up on it yet. See you at the show.

hello gpotts200,
latest photo looks even better yet !!!!!!
bet it would look real cool sitting up on those rocks behind your Jeep .
just tell the cops you put it in reverse instead of forward , (you know , new Jeep and all ) i belive you could pull that one off. ::)
don't forget to take a photo and post it .
i guess "a 20 footer " means it looks good from 20 foot away ? na , it looks good up close by looking at your photos .
one thing you might want to think about , lock lug nuts .
your Jeep looks nice an clean , it will look even nicer up on the OBSTACLE COURSE . good luck and have fun .  :D

Every night after work when I pull in I have to fight the urge to pull it up on that pile of rocks....maybe I should just pull it up once and snap a picture.

Funny you mention the wheel locks, when I put the new wheels on some of the lugs were so rounded off I could barely get a socket on them so I ordered lugs from amazon and the set came with a lock for each wheel. Didn't think much of the locks until I got the new tires on the wheels but then I was glad to have the locks.

Had some vehicle break ins on my street the other night, must have been looking for cash a few cars had their stuff thrown all over the interiors, they skipped the jeep for some reason....wasn't even a top on it at the time.

GPOTTS200 ,
SEE IF YOU HAVE A JEEP              J-JUST
                                                   E-EMPTY
                                                    E-EVERY
                                                     P-POCKET
THE THIEVES KNOW YOU HAVE NO CASH LAYING AROUND .
A LITTLE SECRET I LEARNED LONG TIME AGO , A MAN WHOS TRUCK WAS BROKE IN TO TOLD ME  " MY TRUCK WON'T GET BROKE IN TO BECAUSE IT ALREADY LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN BROKE IN TO , STUFF THROWN ALL AROUND AND UNORGANIZED " .  MAYBE IT WORKS , MAYBE NOT , TIME WILL TELL . IT MAY NOT LOOK ORGANIZED , BUT I KNOW WHATS WHERE , I THINK .

ok , now i see the locking lugnut , they blend in nice , key won't slip off easily. i guess you know not to use an impact wrench with the key / nut ?

No air compressor yet, but thank you for the heads up as I may not have thought of it.  I may get a new air compressor to hold my valves in during a valve stem seal replacement project i need to do on the jeep.
