Palo Duro Jeep Jamboree

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. When you arrive at a Jeep Jamboree, the first thing you do is have your vehicle inspected by the trail guides and pick your trail group for the weekend. The trail guides help you decide which group will best suit your and your Jeep's abilities. Its all about having fun, being challenged and being safe at the end of the day.

Jeep Jamboree's start with an early morning breakfast, plenty of coffee in hand and a safety meeting. Then we all head off to our designated trails for the day. Lunch is usually trailside and it's a good idea to pack plenty of water and snacks in your Jeep before you head out for the day. Everyone gets back to the trailhead/camp area for dinner at the end of the day. Then it's time to make any fixes, repack the snacks, clean up from the trails, and get some rest to do it all over again the next day. After day 2 on the trails, an end of the weekend banquet/meeting will take place to thank everyone for attending, hand out some prizes and wish everyone safe travels home.

A Jeep Jamboree is a great way to off-road with experienced trail guides, meet some new people, and possibly off-road in some areas otherwise closed to the public.

Where will your next adventure lead you?

Midwest Ride-in at ERX Motorpark

We had a great time over the weekend checking out the Midwest Ride-in @erxmotorpark in Elk River, Mn. The Midwest Ride-in is a vintage snowmobile show like no other snowmobile show. Participants ride to the show, trailer to the show, and ride all around during the event. And it's not limited to just vintage sleds. ERX Motorpark has a vast trail system that all the snowmobiles were able to check out and enjoy. One of our AMSOIL Dealers, @_aplusoils was at the show all three days representing AMSOIL, selling products to participants and meeting some really cool folks. (We'll share more about that) This was a great fun FAMILY event. Our daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids all had a great time. Our grandson even got to drive his Kitty Cat snowmobile. #familytime #snowmobile #vintagesnowmobile #selfemployed #husbandandwife #husbandandwifeteam #supportsmallbusiness #selfemployedlife #amsoildealerstyle #beyourownboss #amsoilambassador #amsoil #enthusiast Follow u

Nothing ruins a ride more than a breakdown, so we put together some tips to help you get your snowmobile ready for winter. Check the spark plugs Inspect spark-plug and wire condition. Ski-Doo E-TEC engines require indexing if removed or replaced, so be sure to check your owner’s manual for proper instructions. Replace plugs that appear excessively dirty or worn along with any worn or frayed wires. Inspect clutches and suspension Check clutches, the drive belt and suspension for wear and tear. Greasing and inspecting the suspension components and slides (hyfax) are a great idea. Slides typically have a small line across them indicating when they are worn out. If they are below the line at all, replace them. Items to check in the suspension include loose or worn parts and missing or loose idler wheels.
