With funds we recieved from the 2004 National Jeep Jamboree the club invested in a large shed that was uesed for training and other gatherings at the property. We stored all our equipment in the shed and had it set up with a generator, lighting and heaps of stuff we had collected over the years. The shed was named in memory of the late John Jeffries who was a very popular President for many years.
We built some articulation ramps that really tested the suspension of the vehicles but also tested the nerves of the drivers. We had a small ramp and a kigher ramp that gave drivers the sensation of extreme side angles in a safe and controlled manner. It was great fun especially when a trainer would rock the car as it was up on the ramp with some terrified looks from those inside.
Mud Mud and more Mud
Some say the mud set like concrete when it dried and took weeks to wash off, yep that was true. It would sudenly appear in your drive eveb after multiple washes. But it was a great way to learn how to drive in muddy conditions.
