Quickly
becoming a hugely popular regional Jeep show the Jeff
Daniel's Jeep show is in its 6th year. Held in early fall,
this annual show is open to
all breeds of Jeeps from vintage to new, mild to wild.
This year registration for the show was $15 or $20 per
vehicle pending on when they registered and general admission
to spectators was free. 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, moon-bounces,
and a spectacular firework show.
With 20 categories and the sea of colorful Jeeps, 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.
Once again
this year 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 entered the
Project CJ-7. Once again it was a great Jeep show!

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 Cherokee with a Jake Brake!
