Kahunaville Jeep show and Shine Report

SLINKY · Sep 19th 2004

ok gonna try and sum the day up....

Fantastic showing by everyone. Jeeps arrived early and got preferred parking in the front of kahuna. Rich Bryant who owns part of the place was more then happy to park us and enjoyed the curb climbing. Mall Crawlers would be proud. I handed out 40 door prize tickets and some pulled in afterwards. so figure about 45 jeeps total. The ramp showed up and got a front spot aswell. about 80% of the jeeps got to test out the ramp. even the guys with stock or close to it engaged in the fun. It was really nice to be able to greet everyone and hang out and talk. Food was fantastic and the hot sun was even better. (sunburn here). some faces that we hadn't seen in a while or didn't think they could make it showed up. which was a nice surprise. I think we will gain about 5 new members from the event. 50/50 was won by Nikki and tom wasn't allowed to have any. I do belive the club made a few dollars on the event aswell which was nice. Looking forward to maybe doing this again next year.

End of day all was great. Now lets see them pictures.

Excellent recap Slinky and a big thanks for making this happen. You did a phenomenal job with the raffle tickets too. The turnout was great and it seemed everyone had a blast. Tony and BBD and everyone that helped out on the ramp: It was a hit!!! The paint job was awesome and I think almost everyone got to try their hand, er, Jeep at it.

I had an absolute blast and hope we can have a gathering like that again.

I enjoyed myself. I finally found out why a police officer stopped by my house a month or so ago. The neighbors were wondering what was going on and most were sure it was something my one neighbor had done (she's not very popular). It turns out that he was a Jeep owner checking out my Jeep! He had the white CJ7 parked on the middle median in front of the volcano. He introduced himself when I pulled up.

Sadie (my dog) and I had a good time. I got a good sunburn on my neck and face (ouch!). Anyway here are the pictures.

On a side note I was driving around later and my stick came out of my transmission and left me stranded in reverse with the sun setting. To top it off I did not have my cell phone on me so I hoofed it part of the way home before I thumbed a ride (a guy in a XJ picked me up). I then got my XJ and towed strapped my CJ home with my g/f driving the XJ (first time she ever towed anything).

SLINKY · Sep 20th 2004

think alot of us got sunburn. loki also had his stick come off. figures all the offroading you guys do. when ya drive em normal on the road things break.

Man I had a great time yesterday.
It was great to see so many Jeeps come out to an event
Even if the hot rod club got a little miffed, that was OK.
I did hear they thought it was just wrong to show up at a "car show"
with muddy Jeep

I guess they just don't understand

The Ramp was a big hit
We started off slow.... seems a few wanted to see it done before
they tried. Even Slinky got a chance to ramp his Grand waggy.
by the way we now know he has exactly 30* of approach angle.
He took a little ramp paint with him

I'm just messing with him Slinky this show was a success because of your hard work and speaking for the club I want to offer a heart felt thanks to you.

As posted earlier here are the big winners of the day.

NikkiYJ .....won the 50/50
MD Bulldog.... took home the high lift jack
Claymont hillbilly.... wanted the tow strap, bad..he got it

two door prises were also given out
they were both, Tree savers / 6' tow straps
Winners were
Bob Allen and Joe Lovette

I also want to tale a minute to say a word of thanks to TONY aka DaMutt
He put many hours into building our RTI Ramp. He even towed it up the the show yesterday.
He deserves a pat on the back and a when you see hin tell him Job Well Done

It was our first Official Jeep Show but I see it will not be our last.
Thanks to all for coming out. you truly are a great club :heart:

Nice...even if I cleaned the MJ I have a feeling they'd have something to say with its fine rattlecan paintjob over the "custom" crumpled beercan inspired bodywork

It was a great time, though...nice to get out and see everyone and their rigs. Glad I got a couple shots at the ramp to see how the 36's stuffed, gotta break out the airsaw before next weekend and tweak a couple things.

there ain't a chance in hell your pinning this on me. I just wanted everyone to have fun and no trail damage. lol couple people had trail damage from the Kahuna. this was a group effort as people stepped up to help.

I also figured it was a great way to celabrate the birth of the RTI ramp. ok now nobody make fun of my approach angle I think i have the wrong shocks on the back of the wagon i could tell they were stretched out. I would have never even been able to get a backwards approach as the bumper would have taken alot more paint. I did score a whopping 275 and i beat tom in his sunshine ride.

who had the pic of my waggy on the ramp. I hate to be a web wheeler.

Just had to give you a hard time (besides I think your scooter went farther than my Jeep). :grin:

BTW, did anyone right down the scores???

loki · Sep 20th 2004

Yeah it was a good time, besides my shifter incident but Slimer hooked me up and I was even able to put the J truck on the ramp and see how it did before I put some new high boingers under it, wish I got a picture of it up there though. Thanks

SLINKY · Sep 20th 2004

if anyone has one of my wagon on the RTI please post.

i got one photo, thanks

man that rear tire is stuffed inside that wheel well.

DieselCj · Sep 21st 2004

At least the post now has one pic. Wish I could have made it, we were putting the lift on LaxJeep's YJ all weekend. As he reported in another post we got it done, but just in time to come home sunday night. Nothing like a 100 mile trip to "test it out" after putting on a lift.

NikkiYJ · Sep 21st 2004

It was a great day, the boys loved playing with all the kids. I can't wait to do it again.
It was very lucky that I won the 50/50, Bailey fell while playing and bent his glasses pretty bad, so on Monday I took him to get them fixed. They were able to fix them temporarily, so I had to order him a replacement pair that is costing us $88.80 and I won $88. Talk about some good luck!!!!!

SLINKY · Sep 21st 2004

he knew you won the money. did you take them inside at all to see the arcade?

**JeepSahara** · Sep 21st 2004
