 April 30, 2024 written by Linda Ford We just returned from an epic trip to Amarillo, Texas to attend the Palo Duro Jeep Jamboree.  This event was our 8th Jamboree.  What is a Jeep Jamboree?  Good question!  It's an off-roading event specifically for Jeeps.  Other makes and models are not allowed to attend, you must have a Jeep.  Where are the Jeep Jamborees?  All over the world!  Jeep Jamboree just added events in Iceland, Swiss Alps and Portugal this year.  There are several events throughout the United States.  The eight that we have attended have been in seven different states.  Here is the list of the places we have been with the Jeep Jamboree: Drummond Island, Michigan (twice)    Ozark, Arkansas Lewisburg, West Virginia Seymour, Missouri Deadwood, South Dakota Mole Lake, Wisconsin Amarillo, Texas These events have all sorts of different trails, difficulties and great comradery amongst the fellow trail riders....

 April 8, 2024 Written by Mike and Linda Ford  Our next big adventure is a trip to the Palo Duro Jeep Jamboree at Figure 3 Ranch near Amarillo, Texas.   This will be the 9th Jamboree that we have attended and our first time in Texas. Saharacon, our 7-year-old Jeep Wrangler JKU, needed some maintenance this year before she's ready for the trails.  She had a bent rear control arm, all four doors were seized on, the control arm bushings were worn, and she had a leaking front axle.   We also installed a new Stinger infotainment system with cameras on the front and back of the Jeep.  We can't wait to see how it performs on the trail. Working on the doors - AMSOIL MP Metal Protector came through and all the doors were able to be removed, lubed up and put back into place for the season.  We usually leave the doors on all the time, but it doesn't hurt to make sure all the areas are free moving.

 April 7, 2024 Written by: Mike and Linda Ford  After a very mild winter in the upper-Midwest, we had a crazy spring that has been pulling us many different directions. Our AMSOIL Team had the honor to work the AMSOIL Championship SnoCross events in both Elk River, MN at ERX Motorpark and at Spirit Mountain in Duluth, MN. Both of these tracks have been a part of our AMOILS business for the past 18 years. We always enjoy seeing familiar faces, new faces and watching some great racing. In the past, Duluth National SnoCross took place on Thanksgiving weekend and the last time it was held on that weekend in Duluth was in 2019. That weekend was cut short by a massive blizzard that blanketed the Duluth area and halted racing. It took 5 years for SnoCross to make it back to Duluth and it was a great weekend. Instead of starting the season in Duluth, they finished the season there.  2019 2024
