Jeep Show & Shine

Maddie and I went to the Orlando Jeep Club's annual Show & Shine last Saturday. Last year, my Jeep was stock, and I was a little embarrassed to have it in the same lineup as some other modified Jeeps. Over the past year I've added:



2 inch suspension lift

1 inch body lift

31 inch All-Terrain tires

Front sway bar quick disconnects

High performance Air Filter

Heavy duty front bumper

Heavy duty rear bumper with receiver hitch

Heavy duty side bumpers with steps

Front radiator protection screen

Bug shield



Even with all the additions, the Jeep still seems to pale compared to some of the ones at the meet, but they are extremes. To see some examples, check out the photos on our home page. The picture below is of me and the Jeep taking a turn on the articulation ramp. You drive up the ramp until one of the remaining three tires comes up off the ground, and are measured to determine how successful your modifications are. Also tried the balance beam, but didn't get a picture because Maddie was in the Jeep with me, acting as a movable weight while we tried to balance.

Happy 70th Birthday Mom!!
