The 6th Annual Jeff Daniel's Jeep Show

 
  Jeff Daniel's Jeep Customizing
495 Indian Creek Road
Harleysville, PA. 19438

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!

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 Cherokee with a Jake Brake!
