Bantam Jeep Festival - Butler PA (2021)

[Jim K in PA]

Anybody besides @jscherb and I going to be at the Festival in NW PA this week?

I finally got my LJ-R back on the road after a 6 year(!) hibernation. I installed a Genright Safari tank that I have been tripping over in the garage for the last 4 years, did some maintenance, replaced the batteries, and it is running like always.

I went in 2019 and had a great time! I hope I can get there again some day, but not this year.

You'll be missed!

In 2019 both MORryde and Overland Outfitters borrowed my JKU and MORryde borrowed my military trailer, they arranged spaces next to each other and put my Jeep in between with product from both companies installed. MOrryde used my trailer to display sale merchandise. This year they're doing the same thing, except that this time Overland Outfitters is borrowing the trailer, they're doing a "sample sale", offering lots of preproduction and test samples. Both companies have some new products to show this year too.

I've got to start outfitting the JKU tomorrow, for daily driving I don't normally have the roof rack, tent and all the gear installed that both companies will want installed for the show.

Looking forward to meeting you in person, finally, Jeff.

@Dan Grec - sorry we missed you in 2019 - we were in Scotland for that one.

When you guys get a chance, post the 2022 dates. Maybe I can make it happen next year!

Ready to go. Have to get there this afternoon so MORryde and Overland Outfitters can set up the booth.

Safe travels! We're leaving the Poconos in about 20 minutes.

Hey Jim, we're in the same hotel, just saw your Jeep in the parking lot.

I drove by on I79. I live 5 minutes away but didn't have tome this year to go. Last time the Rough Riders trail was on my property. Trails are all still there.

Great to meet you and the family, Jeff. Hope you had a safe trip home.
