Well it was an interesting show! You missed the bikini contest, the wet t-shirt contest, helicopper rides (extra $25.00 on Sunday), monster truck rides ($6.00 extra), cash bar (strange thing to have a truck show, especially at the end of the day!), tiki bar, airplane shaped pool, motorcycle sunt team, WWII planes flying over and trucks both mudders and show trucks with 1 -2 foot lifts, low riders, custom paint jobs worth thousands, and one lonely Jeep Liberty.
I was watching the truck field, and the ol' Liberty with its custom pinstripping by Trail Rides, and custom slightly dented door by Paragon had more people stop buy and discuss the modifications than did the two lifted monster trucks along side of me. I had a lot of Liberty owners stop by, the conversation started..."I brought one of these for my wife and she wants a lift..." I think a lot of people think our Libertys are "girlie" Jeeps. Hopefully I changed their minds. I pointed all the Liberty owners to the "LOST" site. Met some southern Jersey Jeepers, and they were impressed. It seems that there are very few lifted Libertys in southern Jersey.
There was one truck, a Ford pickup I could have drove under, nice chrome chasis! Needless to say I had "lift" envy!
Sitting their with my gin and tonic (my two drinks for the year) watching all the activities was interesting, especially the girl parked behind me, every good looking guy that walked by she would yell out.. "take your pants off!" She told me she was tired of us guys yelling to her about lifting her shirt, so she beat us to the punch line. Her husband wasn't too happy with her!
I had a good time, I wouldn't recommend this show for the faint hearted (very young NOPI type crowd), and it was relatively small, maybe 150 trucks showed up.
Next year we need to show up in force, be cool with 5 to 10 Libertys showing up.
