First Time at GSMJI! Looking for pro tips to make the most of the event 🤘

[ExoShield]

Hey All!

Jesse here from ExoShield I'm going to be heading down to this years Greater Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion supporting our friends at Underground Graphics in their vendor booth at the show. This is my first time at the show and I'd love to hear from the community about some "can't miss" opportunities while I'm there.

If you've been to the show in the past and have some pro-tips for making the event one to remember post your recommendations in the comments!

If you're heading to this year's event and have any questions about our products I'd love to chat - let me know if you'll be there so we can connect at the show

Thanks in advance and I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing some of you there!

- Jesse

Never been to the show because I am located on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. However, chicks in bikinis will definitely make it memorable

Find the biggest guy, and give him a beat down, then no one will mess with you.

I have a feeling this would go about as well for me as showing up in a Bronco...

Hi Jesse,

My wife and I have been going to GSMJI since 2015 and it has grown exponentially over the years.

It’s normally hot, so if the Underground Graphics booth is outside, take a water bottle, sun screen and hat to help you survive each day.

If the booth is inside you’ll have AC but it can get really crowded in there. So take advantage of when the crowd is down to get food or hit the bathroom.

GSMJI is all consuming of Pigeon Forge, so know that you can’t get anywhere quick and there will be people & Jeeps everywhere. Pro tip, use back roads to get around and only get on the strip if you absolutely have to (unless you’re out of your vehicle and watching the constant cruse of Jeeps).

If you want to get away from the chaos, head to the National Park. If you want to take a beautiful drive, head to Cades Cove. If you want to stretch your legs, go to Clingmans Dome. Another incredible drive that’s outside the park is the Foothills Parkway.

If you make it to the Foothills Parkway, check out Townsend. There is a second show at the Cades Cove Jeep Outpost and some great restaurants that won’t be as packed as those in Pigeon Forge.

We’ll stop by the booth to say hi and give you some additional insider information that everyone on the internet doesn’t need to know.

Hey Scott!

These are the Pro Tips I was looking for thanks so much for taking the time to steer me in the right direction. I'm staying nearby the event and have a feeling that with it being my first time, I'll be completely consumed by everything happening in Pigeon Forge.

I'm already working on the plan for next year so we can make the most of the week and get around to see some of the sites you've mentioned.

If you have the time, definitely swing by the Underground Graphics Booth!

Thanks again, if we don't get a chance to meet I hope you and your wife have an excellent event

Best,
Jesse
