I figured the show was later in the year so yesterday i went to the Super Chevy show at maple grove Raceway. If i'd known I would of driven another hour or so and went to the Jeep show. But I did get to work on the Jeep a bit more. So something good came out of it.
We just got back to Missouri this morning. All in all we drove 2084 miles on this adventure. My son drove about 600 miles of the trip on his learner's permit. Except for the 95 degree heat (without A/C) and then trying to stay ahead of the tornado (with hail) in Western PA and Eastern OH everything went well.
We managed to win a Second Place trophy in the Class 6 modified division and we also won a plaque for the longest distance traveled.
Thank god you took the picture on my jeeps good side! Paint looks perfect
Did not know about that ifsja only raffle. Any one know who one and what was the prize?
I won a fan shroud courtesy of Z&M Jeeps. I was planning on buynig one, so that worked out perfectly. In talking with everyone, it's looking like I need to tend to my radiator. I can't wait until i can drive on the highway and not pull off to cool down

I forgot to mention what a pleasure it was meeting fellow FSJers. It always amazes me what a good group of people we have. It sure was nice to put faces with the screen names.

It was nice meeting you as well. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to you about my 304 and feel like I definetly learned a thing or two. While I also enjoyed checking out your 401 I must admit a good bit of your EFI went straight over my head. Nevertheless, it was one of the coolest things I saw there on Sunday.
Glad you made it home safe without hail damage to that pretty blue paint too. -Brian
Geep, no you cant have it. Its not even an FSJ! (Excellent Job on the pics of the show, too )
Great Show again, and as HeadHoncho best puts it, expect the heat, the heat and the sun will be brought, and that weekend in July every weekend, it never rains. Believe it or not, it was hotter last year...and the year before. Cant we just get a cloudy day? Just one?
Woodchomper gets a well deserved longest distance travelled award. It was great talking to you and your son.. its been said here before, but putting a 401 in that thing a few days before, simply awesome.
Other newbie (i think first time at the show) nods go to the two 4000s at the show, one was the green camper special that is Juleps, I didnt get a chance to talk to you, but that thing just oozes patina and originality, what a sweet truck. And, the maroon colored 4000 with gold colored fender extensions, another absolutley sweet and stout FSJ ride.
There was some mention of dash plauques above...Any FSJer on here who had an FSJ in the show field that didnt get a dash plaque? Ive got an extra one up for grabs Ill send to you free for speaking up.

I won the third raffle/door prize . A Headlight Harness H4 Conversion and 7" Round H4 Headlight conversion kit . Guess that means the razor grill is going on the '87, and that I should put it back on the road so I can drive at night with those awesome lights .

Phenomenal Pics! I was so psyched to go that I forgot my camera. I was also so psyched when I got there, I left my keys in the ignition almost until the time I left, as can be seen in the pics
Great group, great knowledge, and had a great time
