A day at the fair

So every year members of our local Jeep club get to show off their Jeeps for a day at the Texas State Fair and of course we always have both our Jeeps out there on display. We get in for free of course, the only catch is the Jeeps have to be there on display from 9am to 6pm that day.

Jeep Rescue ConceptOne of the mains reasons we go is to check out all the new models and concepts at the car show. They never have any of the newest concepts on display (like the Jeep Patriot or Dodge Caliber) unfortunately, but there’s usually some cool ones none the less. One of the big concepts on display this year was one Jeep’s most popular concepts, the Jeep Rescue concept. I hadn’t gotten the chance to check out in person yet, so I was pretty excited to finally see it. Despite being built off the Ram 2500 platform and running 37” tires, it didn’t see quite as big as I’d imagined. Maybe the proportions of it just mess with you I guess. It was still very cool to see, and I still think Jeep REALLY needs to build it. They should really display it with the suspension aired up though.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Rescue concept without looking the the LCD on my digital camera. It’d be nice to see it once without having a camera with me.

    DC Jeep needs to take some H2 sized risks, and innovate. The Field of Dreams cliche is valid to some degree, but this has all been said before.
