The 5th Annual
Jeff Daniel's Jeep Show

WHEN: Sep 20, 2008
WHERE: Jeff Daniel's Jeep Customizing
495 Indian Creek Road
Harleysville, PA. 19438
 

Jeff Daniel's held their 5th annual all Jeep show at their facility in Harleysville PA. on Sept. 20th 2008 in grand style.

More popular than ever, the late summer, annual show is open to all breeds of Jeeps from vintage to new, mild to wild.  Registration for the show was free this year as always as well as general admission to the show itself.  This year, the show attracted quite a crowd and a lot of show Jeeps.  Along with the Jeep show, there was entertainment for all ages including a live band, prizes, food, a magician, moon-bounces, and a spectacular firework show.

This year in an effort to have a class for every type of Jeep enthusiast Jeff Daniel's had 20 categories and the sea of colorful Jeeps were organized accordingly.   Prizes were awarded to all types of Jeeps from Grand Cherokees to Wranglers and classic / vintage military Jeeps with prize categories that included best in class, most extreme, best girls Jeep and a lot more.  

Rausch Creek Offroad Park, based in Joliett, PA, took command of the compact yet radical obstacle course out behind the shop of Jeff Daniel's and as a large crowd of onlookers watched, proceeded to thrash their heavily modified rigs on the course with a few roll-overs in the process.

This year Jeff Daniel's also added the extra bonus of a coupon to fill their gas tanks at the Harleysville Exxon at a discounted rate!  Free Gas!  A little incentive to all registered Jeeps to come visit this increasingly popular, family oriented Jeep Show out here in the countryside of Harleysville PA.

We attended the day's events and would like to thank Jeff for once again, a Jeep show that ranks up there as our top favorite  ...

Jeep Diesel Conversions

Imagine your Jeep idling across the rocks powered by a Cummins Diesel Engine.  We were very impressed by a few examples of Jeff Daniel's Jeep Customizing on display and marvel over the possibilities of gobs of low end torque.  How about a TJ with a Jake Brake!
