Hotel Reservations?

My night life will involve sleep, since I will probably be up at 4am on Sat. Im staying at the Hampton Inn BTW, next to a Mall..... Malls= restraunts.

Which Hampton?

Think I'd better get something nailed down to crash in. York will prob be busy with all the Jeepers.
Maybe somethin with nice big swimmin pool since no night life?

[Geeeep]

Class 7, yes for all the FSJ's, they judge the Wags and the JTrucks in the same category

Yes, you can leave Saturday and return Sunday

Since I'm less than an hour away I've never stuck around Sat night, and we'll I've had enough of the York bar scene during my mis-spent young adulthood (Though I used to love the G-man {Gingerbread Man bar and restaurant} but that might just be because a "frat" brother of mine ran it and well......)

I'll be up early Saturday (or you'll see a tan '87 Grand on the side of I83) though I've done nothing but change some fluids since the engine rebuild last year. This trip should finish breaking it in (or break it)!

JR are you bringing that Jeep trailer again?

[baybilly]

Geeeep i'll be headed up fri night, staying at the Hampton inn. thanks for the info. see ya their.

[Headhoncho]

JR are you bringing that Jeep trailer again?

Yes and I hope to be pulling it with my Honcho. All I have to do is adapt an Astro class III hitch to my frame "and we'll be in the clear".
I hope to sell it this year but I have to sell the 2 dana 60's I'll have in it first. I'll be up Friday night and leaving Sunday.

So I got a room there. Guess I'm all set.

Buddy of mine, Jim that helped alot on Scrambler, took job as Welding supervisor project manager, in Maryland few years ago may stop by show Sat morning.
He's hiring.

Says the drag racing is way more competitive up there than in East TX.

[baybilly]

i'm headed out around 1 fri afternoon from millersville Md, headed around 695 to 83 north to york anybody want to hook up and caravan up ? I'll be staying at the hampton inn. lets all get together fri night for a meet and greet and some eat's and a cold one.

[vapiper]

I went to this last year in my 06 rubicon and had a blast, did their course which was actually pretty good (ran 3.5" lift and 33's)

My "club" will be there, stop by their tent and get some awesome jeep schwag

Novajeepers by name....hopefully I'll make it up, all depends on a motorcycle ride to the tail of the dragon hmmmm choices choices

[Jeepeta]

I was wondering when this event was approaching. I'm going to see if the family is into it this year. (went 2 yrs ago and had a good time).

The rock crawling course was much fun to watch. I don't remember much of anything seen in the swap meet area, especially for FSJ.

Anybody going have a right side rocker panel they want to sell? Only thing different with my wag is it has less paint and more rust than the last show.

[Pitbull-Lady]

I don't remember much of anything seen in the swap meet area, especially for FSJ.

What's funny, the other year, 2005? when I went it was all FSJ stuff that I remember! Now in 2008, I can finally use it!

[Headhoncho]

I am officially stuck on what to do. I want to take my Honcho to the show but I need to pull a small trailer with it. I am in the process of installing (ie:cutting, grinding, welding) a class III hitch to it (TOTAL PITA!!!!!). The trailer is going to be loaded with two dana 60 front axles and a cherrypicker. In my truck would be more parts plus camping gear for the weekend. If I sell the trailer (hopefully) then I MUST sell the axles as I don't have the payload to haul them home in my Jeep. Now, I have an F150 I used last year that will solve everything and more but then I have no way of getting my Honcho to the show. I really want the Jeep there since this year seems to be the year of the FSJ at the Pa. Jeeps show. Figures.

Thanks for the offer. I'll know for sure what I'm doing after this weekend as I'm going to work on it Sunday till it's hopefully done. I am just east of Phila. by the way.

JR,
If you sell the trailer and not the axles, I'll take them to my shop in PA for you. Also, if the cherry picker is only for unloading the axles, you could leave that at home and a bunch of us could muscle them and/or there are other motorized methods of getting them on and off the truck. My trailer with the cherry picker mounted on it will be there.
What do you mean by "since this year seems to be the year of the FSJ at the Pa. Jeeps show. Figures. "?
