18th Annual (2013) / Re: A Great Big Thanks!

Bill - thanks to you and Teresa for stepping up to help out. I for one noticed how willing you were to do any task... especially the dreaded post show trash can recovery. That is not a fun job and you guys stuck around to get it done. It was much appreciated. I hope you weren't traumatized too badly and will come back next year!

It's been a while, so I thought I'd post some updated pictures. It's been a slow process. The body shop has had the body for over a year and still isn't done. The only up side to that is I've had plenty of time to come up with the money. Oh, and of course now that he is actually working on it he is way over budget. I had to threaten him with a lawyer because he was saying it was going to cost 75% above the estimate he initially gave me to finish the job. After I told him I talked to a lawyer I got him to agree to a lesser amount, and of course he claims he is going to lose money on the job. I guess he should have done a better job with his estimate. Anyway progress is being made. Here are a few pictures:

Here's an idea of how much rust he had to deal with:

And here's it is patched up and just about ready for the final body work:

Hey Hillbilly - did you you register on their web site or are you just showing up? I registered on the website a couple days ago but I haven't heard anything so I don't know if I'm in or not.

Yes, Bantam had a scented candle vendor, a basement waterproofing vendor, and a chiropractor. They'll take anyone's money, Jeep related or not. Although an argument could be made for the chiropractor.

Before I hear all about it - the dates for the Jeep Jam are wrong in the May Newsletter I just sent out. I took the dates off our club calendar. The dates will be corrected in the June newsletter.

General Discussion / EVOR 4X4 Adventure

« on: May 05, 2013, 05:51:05 pm »

This weekend was the EVOR 4x4 Adventure up in Snow Shoe, PA. Jenn, Dave, Dan, Keith and I went up and worked as trail guides for the event. It was a really nice event with a little bit of something for everyone. They had a nice trail ride with a really fun steep hill climb and an obstacle course with a wide variety of fun things: various mud crossings including one serious mud bog, a big rock pile, a massive tire course, log bridge, a log/mud crossing, mogul bumps, a car crossing (yes, driving over crushed cars) and a hill climb. It was a great event and the weather could not have been any nicer. Here are just a few pictures from the event: (Keith - please share your pictures too - I especially want to see the video of me going up "winch hill"!)

I just had to include this shot here for everyone to see. This is "Trail Boss" Jenn Watson being towed off the tire course by Dan "Goldie Lockers" McKenna: (p.s. gotta give him credit - Dan made it across the tire course)
