Title: Jeep Beach 2018
Post by: BigPrince on April 13, 2018, 06:27:28 PM
Who's going?  Where are y'all staying?  What days are you heading out?

@Doug ?
@Danny Kinder ?

Looking to drive down Thursday and back Sunday.

I'm debating on hotel near the speedway versus hotel on the beach.  I won't be roaming around on the beach with my knee but I may walk out quickly and the thought of falling asleep to the waves is enticing (though it might be dumbasses revving their Jeeps too - I really don't know what to expect being my first time).  Going to book today/tomorrow now that I got my knee surgery planned out.  Jeep will be in the vendor show 8-5.

It’s Daytona beach. The normal knuckleheads times 10 plus the mall crawler crowd.  Should make for some good people watching.

Booked the Fairfield by the Speedway.  Couldn't use points/free nights on the beach so booked free there.  Jeep will be at the Maxxis booth all day anyway.

I'm out. We are remodeling our kitchen from top to bottom, taking down load bearing walls, and replacing EVERYTHING. Been consumed with this project for the last month...

I think you understated the times 10 but otherwise confirmed. The grandmothers 80th brought us down and figured might as well enjoy the people watching at its prime.

Don, that's awesome!  I remember walking past that exact truck at Moab EJS a couple years ago and you talking about the 42" sticky coming out soon.  Fast forward and you're rig is on display...

Yeah - they’re rated for like 9 tons each and I think weigh like 3,500# just for the front!

Sometimes you do things for the experience without expecting compensation.

Jeep Beach was fun! Honestly did not get many photos of the vendor booths. Hung out with @BigPrince and had fun catching up with him and @Warren . Heres a coulee shots of some carnage from the hard obstacle course. I slammed my tail end coming off a highway divider they had set up. Cracked the tire carrier a bit and crushed my exhaust. Plan to weld that crack up and cut off that section of exhaust. Also got to ride in my boss's Jeep on the course. JKUR on f250 one tons. DIY Beadlocks on 42" pitbulls.

Yes, I did not expect compensation for the experience.
