    Yep, you all helped to talk me out of it.... Like I need more projects to keep up with and taking time from finishing others.

    peeJ Wins The 2024 Toledo Jeep Fest "Best In Show"

    peeJ won the Jeep Fest Best in Show!

    Wow the Toledo Jeep fest gets bigger every year official numbers aren't in yet but, 75,000 plus people. 1000++ Jeeps in the show. I could not believe it when they called out peeJ as the winner! She had her Kaiser Willys flag flying high on the mast. That Jeep owes a lot to this Forum.

    I got a ride with Gerry Huber around the place and a personal prize presentation to boot! Ya gotta love the "Fest". Right in Toledo, the birth place of the Jeep.

    Hahaha! We actually bumped into a blond lady while Gerry was wheeling me around in the golf cart. He said "excuse me, do you mind if I stop and hug this pretty lady?". Of course I said "by all means". Gerry said he wants peeJ inside next year. She is graduating to Ham's 48' status at the Fest!

    There were not as many pre 1960's Willys there this year. A lot of people looking at it discussing how things used to be.

    p.s. Your just jealous cause I am at least an inch taller than you...

    I was watching the Facebook live stream of the parade, and there was PeeJ and Bmorgil in their glory. Congratulations on the best in show! Well deserved in my opinion! It would be a great honor for PeeJ to be on display in the convention hall like Ham's was, that would be fantastic.

    Awesome!! Congratulations dude, peej looks like a super sweet jeep that definitely deserves this honor!

    In the pic of Hams 48 you can see a blue cj6 with a hardtop and white doors in the background, I'm personal friends with its owner.

    There was a CJ6 in the background? Oh yeah, there is one now that I looked again. I guess I didn't look past the beauty of Ham's 48....

    Thanks guy's! It was a great show. They really go out of there way to make it a "Fan and Family" event. I will get some pictures next year. I will take the offer and put peeJ inside. I will have a lot more free time to take pic's and enjoy the show.
