Well...I\'m back from sunny and 105 degree Phoenix.
The Jeep Jam 5 was an awesome time. got a pair of Jacks in the Poker Run (not sure if I actually won anything).
My father\'s new 4-door Mountain Edition Jeep Wrangler performed flawlessly on the trails. Climbing over every obstacle with ease. i didn\'t even pinstripe it this time.
the only thing I noticed is the 4-door has a slightly higher tendency to high-center, but I knew that going into it. The first downhill on the trail had a very sharp breakover point, and i told my dad there might be a slight scraping. Right at that moment, the front wheels started down and we felt the skid plate grinding on the ridge.
But no damage done.
After the trails, it was back to Airpark Jeep for a nice BBQ, some live music, and a tour of all the vendors that stopped by. i almost bought some vision-X LED offroad lights for my light bar, but didn\'t have the funds.
There were also some kewl privately owned Jeeps there (obviously) but I think my fav was an old FC 170 cabover.
I\'ll get more pics later, but here are two as a teaser.
