Default A Big JKJam Thank you and Pics

Well the weekend is behind us now, if turned out very well considering the weather didn't want to be as nice as the week before or the week coming up, but everyone seemed to have a good time.

Big thanks to Everyone. A lot of people played parts in bringing this together, some were able to attend and some weren't.

A Big thank you to Christine for all your work putting the website together, everyone was very impressed with its professionalism. I’m looking forward to meeting you and seeing Matt again soon on a run.

Thanks Guys for all the help with; planning the event, ideas for the website, contacting vendors and sponsors, and all the other things that helped bring this together.

Thanks Mike from Dirty Dog, it was great that you were able to make it out, I'm glad you had a good time. Maybe I will have to pickup one of your sunscreens. Codie from Trenton won the one you donated in the Draw so I'll be checking it out really close next time I see him with it,

Big thanks to Jim at Rock Spyder for all the SWAG you sent out, Too bad you weren’t able to make it out, maybe next year. You'll have to let us know when your rock climbing weekends are, LOL. I think Bryon is sending you another guy with misaligned steering and an ESP light. I think everyone liked the lift you put on my Rig so you will hopefully be getting some people over to talk to you about that.

A very big Thank you Will, from NSOR,(north shore off road) or should I say zoneoffroad.ca for donating the 3 inch lift as the grand prize.

Now we have a much larger group who can meet online and organize trail rides together. Hope to link up with some of the guys who made it out from Sudbury or Quebec, it was great wheeling with you, looking forward to seeing some of your trails.

All you "local" guys from Milton, Cambridge, Barrie, Toronto" get on the forum and join in the trail rides. Everyone here is great and will let you know if the planned trail is within your vehicle and your own limits if you let them know what you did at JKJam.

…and now a few pictures...

Sorry I didn’t get to meet everyone who attended. If you see your picture post up with who is who

Thanks

Post up with who is in which pic, There were far too many new faces and names for an old guy like me to remember all at once, lol

I tried to write in a few. Sorry if I mixed names up (It doesn't help that Roxanne took the pictures when I was doing the 101 course

I would also like to say thanks for all the hard work that went into organizing this event.
The 101 course that was created was an excellent way to show us newbs what our Jeep can do (what I learned was invaluable).

I have put up photos and a couple of vids at:

I still have to get the rest of the videos off the cam.

Here is a few samples:
Our tricky spot on the easy run.


I like this shot.


Hey Frank look, I did let Jay drive on Sunday.
