Jeep Jam in Wilmington

blazerbrad · 08-17-2012, 08:13 AM

I see there is a Jeep Jam just outside of Wilmington this weekend. Not sure if they have had it in the past or if anybody know anything about it. Was thinking of taking the boys one day this weekend just to do something.

It's an event put on by Muddy Buddys Jeep Wrangler Club out of Dayton. They're using some property owned by Jason Dennis of Dave Dennis Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep in Dayton. I have not been to the new site, but the club has been doing Jeep Jam for a couple years now. It used to be in Harveysburg, but it was shut down due to politics.

If you've got a Jeep, you should check it out. There will be an obstacle course, a few vendors, and I believe some small trails.

The mud pit is supposed to be very deep so be careful if you try! How far from cincinnati?

I have never owned a Jeep

......my off-road rig is a K5 Blazer and also have a mostly stock FJ-40, but anything off-road related gets my interest. This place is only about 15 minutes from my work and is fairly cheap ($5 for spectators and kids are free). Also a friend of mine just moved into a house literally right in front of the field where the event is.

It's only a few miles off of I-71 when getting off the exit for SR 73. Look up Kingman, OH if you want to see it on the map. Mapquest says about 40-45 minutes from Reading/Blue Ash area but I would say closer to 35 minutes.

Unfortunately, if you don't own a Jeep, all you can do is be a spectator.

I know...if I tie strap a "JEEP" emblem on the grill of the FJ-40 do you think I could get in;) I bet there will be a lot of Jeep owners there that would think it's an old CJ.

That is gay! I guess that is "The Jeep thing", which, no, I do not understand.

It was a great event. As a member and one who helped build the trails and worked it, the event is a family based kid friendly event with absolutely no alcohol permitted on the premises. A decent turn out with just over 200 jeeps on Saturday and 125 for Sunday. No the obstacle course wasn't anything hard but yes you could get stuck in the mud. The trials in the woods were very dry so it was very easy but if it's muddy I can tell you even with lockers it is tricky at times since trees are all around you.

There is no other event like this around this area and yea it's a jeep only thing. Why? It's a jeep based club duh! Do I agree with this rule? No, but after meeting many members and wheeling with them they are so great I had to join.

If they opened up the event to all types of rigs how would you limit it and have a big enough place to hold it? You can't, before anyone wants to bad mouth the jeep only event, their are reasons for their simple rules. Throw a yota only party or a non jeep event and you won't hear a complaint out of us. Don't hate cause the president and board members are heavily active in the club providing several opportunities for others to get out and wheel.
