Shout out to Pennsylvania Peeps!!

[Janster]

Hey Gang…..
So, I got an email this morning about 2025 All Breeds Jeep Show. I attended last year for the first time in 20 years……
My husband & I were parked in some random spot by ourselves…..saw a lot of great Jeeps & met a couple folks from out of state.
We’re not affiliated with any Jeep clubs….. and we’re not sure we’d fit in…. we’re older and don’t offroad. I belong to several Jeep FB groups and have attended a few local meets & such, but haven’t really met any local folks we’ve clicked with.

What area do you live and what groups or clubs do you hang with? Is it primarily an offroading club?

Has anyone attended the PA Jeep Show? Do you go with a group….or just attend solo?
It’d be cool to get a bunch of Gladiators together on the show field.

Anyway…chat away my Pennsylvania neighbors…..
I’m located in Lancaster County in Mountville.

How do you get your Jeep on?? OH…and Merry Christmas!!

Hi ya from West Chester (Chester County), neighbor

Don't belong to any clubs, and don't off road. Like you, I frequent a few Jeep forums.

My '20 Gladiator Overland (ordered 5/19, delivered 7/19) is my daily (well, whenever I go out as I'm retired) driver and, my tow vehicle for mine and the Bride's 27', 5,100 lb (with all we want or need) travel trailer. It's my tenth Jeep (9th I still have, in the Bride's '19 GC Ltd). Had Grand Cherokees for the most part but always kinda sorta wanted a Wrangler but, to me they weren't very practical. Once I saw the Gladiator, I was smitten.

Never been to the Jeep show. When does it typically happen?

I'm from DelCo, not that far!

My Gladiator is my daily driver, as I still have my '04 Wrangler Rubicon (that I bought new in '03), which fulfills any "off road/4 Wheelin'" needs that I have.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Hope you all have a great day and New Year!

We bought our ’24 off the lot back in March. It’s my daily driver, but I work from home…. It probably gets more miles towing the bass boat on the weekends. This is our 4th Jeep….92 & 94 YJ’s (trail rig back in 2000) and an 99 WJ bought in 2001. The WJ was our ‘tow vehicle’ for the 94’ YJ.

July 18-19th In 2025. Friday 11am-9:30pm and Saturday 9-5pm at Carlisle Fairgrounds. No Sunday this year. I’ll admit…. Last year, it was cheaper to register to be in the show (For 2 people) than it was to pay for parking outside the show & general admission.

Ohh, a Carlisle show. I'm at Ford Nationals every year.

BucksCo here.

Just on this forum and the adjacent wrangler forum. No FB, or clubs.

I’m near Skippack. My Gladiator is also my daily driver but I take it off-road at the usual PA places whenever I can make it to a forum meet up there and also go to the Pine Barrens a few times per year. I’m not part of any club. Never been to the Jeep show you mentioned either but I’m open to cleaning mine up and meeting you and others there!

I'm in the south west corner of the state. About 30 miles south of the 'burgh, on the Mon river. Fayette county, Brownsville. I'm 68 looking at 69 shortly. Been retired 3 times now. Still working. It pays for my hobbies.
Don't belong to any Jeep group. But do belong to a Power Wagon group. Which I'm a OG there. I'm also a member of the Nissan Z car group. The local community park has hosted a small Jeep Fest for the last 2 years. I've won 1st place both times in my category.
My JTRD is my DD, and off roader. It's been cross country 5 times now. Have family in the Denver area and Bloomfield NM. Go to Rausch Creek every June with the PW guys. Been to AOAA, and to Moab 6 times with the PW, and once with the JT. The wifey goes with me too. Her Parkinson's has slowed her down some.

I'm wanting to meet some of you fine people on here. Wifey said that most of my friends are on the internet. And she's right. Got friends all over the country. And have met in person.

I’m in central PA as well. No clubs and the closest thing I do to social media is this forum. Gladiator is a toy for me. JL as a daily. I’ve wanted to get to Carlisle for the Jeep show. Maybe this will finally be the year.

 

[Alpine Warthog]

Howdy,

I'm up in the Northwest near Warren. Hour southeast of Erie. LOts of Gladiators and Wranglers around me but not much in the way of wheeling. Around here for Clubs are the Erie Jeep People and Warren Wranglers. Gladiator doesn't wheel a TON it's the daily. my 98 XJ on 35s is for playing in rocks

I drove by it last year and was super bummed I couldn't go. I'm trying to hit the Jeep Jamboree and the festival this year though
