The ones around us, make their own clothes, use no electricity, live off the land, and so on. Now a jetskiing amish clan is definitely probably from a sect that enjoys the finer things in life . You getting a new tire or are you just gonna say screw it and get 5 brand new bigger tires????????

Default Thanks to everyone in Stock Group A

My family and I had a terrific time on Saturday. Everyone in our group was extremely friendly and we all got along. I want to say thanks to RogueJK for befriending us at the hotel and giving me pointers at the hotel. You and your family were really fun to talk to. Hopefully we will meet again in the future. I had a blast and only damage taken was to my side steps on both sides. They are still intact and very useable, just cracked There was another family we met at the hotel, you were driving a stock red colored Sahara with the hard top, we didn't get to say goodbye and I am totally crappy with names. I believe you guys were from Dover, Delaware. Please send me a PM so we can exchange names, etc.. It was fun talking to you as well, and sorry about your outing with your group Can't wait till next time!!!! I was the only silver Jeep in our group so now it's easy to put my face (as ugly as it is) to my forum name.

Hey everybody!
We had a great weekend and it was really nice to see familiar faces as well as meet other forum members.

Many thanks to our group leader, Steve. AWESOME
It was great meeting Chris.

I don't think I got to meet Benmar...:(

We cut out Sunday morning to go and do some site seeing, and ended the weekend with our annual trek to Field of Screams. We crawled in late last night/early this morning exhausted from a great weekend.

Thanks everybody!

I am so proud of her...
Congrats to your better half! Just remember, life is good when couples drive seperately! Gawd...BaltChief and I in the same automobile...

Seriously, I kept my (non-Jeep) SUV. As we each have 2-door Jeeps and VERY tall kids, it was just easier to hang on to a family ride.

I was wondering why my air conditioning wasn't working right on the way home.

Ha' too funny, my wife told me she wants those River Raider rock sliders!

As far as the A/C working, I had mine running most of the day and did not have any overheating issues. It was surely the mud, I am going to make a mud guard for my JK, I will send you some pics so you can make one as well, it is really an easy do it your self job. I used to carry a jug of water to splash some of the mud away back in the day, now I need some type of water pump and a switch...lol

As far as the tires, I am using that busted tire as an excuse to get some better meat on my Jeep. I am just trying to decide if I need bigger and a lift or just some MT's. You know $$ talks.

What a great weekend! I only was able to drive for one day due to a jacked-up back but, still had a great time. Big thanks to Todd Dickflip Meatspin III for letting me squat in his right seat for for a couple of days!!! You saved my weekend bro! I'll be post processing my pictures in the next day or two then I'll post a link to my Webshots page. Thanks to all the organizers and supporters of this event. See you next year!
