Mid-Illini Jeepers

Hi Sean and welcome to the forum! Car repairs can appear daunting but if you take your time and research it, you can repair anything. All vehicles start out as just a bunch of parts. Google and Youtube are your friends in these situations. While your picture shows good detail of the fastener, it mig...

Are you still wondering what to do on the 4th of July weekend? The fireworks will be over but that doesn't mean that the fun has to stop. Head down to Duke's off-road park on July 6th. There is always good conversation, a friendly environment and of course wheeling! As always, since Duke's is privat...

I am planning on it!

Hello All In past meetings there has been discussion about going to Washita in July because they have an open wheeling day. Below is the link for those who wish to sign up early. This event is on Saturday July 13th. It’s about 3.5 hours from the Peoria area. I know some people prefer to get a hotel....

Hello All,

Just wanted to remind everyone that we have a club meeting on Saturday, June 1st at the Sonic in Pekin. Don't forget that our summer meetings start at 6 pm.

Hopefully the weather will be a little more cooperative and give us a little bit of sunshine!

Hope to see you there!

Larry

I am sorry to hear that. The attendance at the parades is a little different every year. Let's plan on trying again, next year!

Steve,

No funds were approved for this adventure. I think a small collection from those attending would be fine. If you need anything, let me know.

Larry

I don’t believe anyone from the club has gone up to check out that park yet.

If you do go, please let us know what you think of it.

Hello All Our next scheduled off road event is on May 25th . It is a trip down to Duke's off-road ranch for some trail clean-up and off-road fun! For those who don't know, Duke's is some property owned by one our club members. It is a lot of fun and every trip is a different experience! The weather ...

Thank you Rose for posting the reminder! It looks like we can have our first cruise-in and donate items for a good cause. So I hope that everyone comes out to the meeting and brings something for the food bank! Don't forget that the meeting time moves to 6pm. And May the 4th be with you! Larry

I haven’t heard of any trail damage, so I guess it was a good trip.

Hello All,

I just wanted to remind everyone that we have a club meeting scheduled for this coming Saturday (April 6th) at noon. It will be at the Avanti's in Pekin and it is our last "in door" club meeting for the season.

Hope to see you all there!

We all had a lot of fun! For those that did not attend, the mud did provide a good challenge to ALL on the trails. Thank you to John Gage for being the leader at the site and arranging for us to use the property. Other than some bruised ego's, the only trail damage that I am currently aware of was S...

Bill directions were sent to your gmail account.

Steve, I have sent directions to your yahoo account.

Tom, I am sorry to hear that you won’t be able to make it. If you need a hand with the water pump on Sunday, let me know. I might be able to give you a hand if you want.

Looks like we might get a little rain in the morning. Hopefully, it won't be too slippery. I think I have sent directions to all those who posted that they are going. If I missed anyone, please let me know.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on the trail!

Larry

Our trip to Colchester Quarry is on Saturday, March 30th. It is located on the outskirts of Colchester, IL which is about a two hour drive from the Peoria area. The quarry is private property and we don't get to use this location often so it is a new experience for many of us. To respect the privacy...

It was good to see such a good turn out for inspections. It is always a blast for me to be able to crawl round everyone's jeep and see all of the different setups. It definitely gives me some ideas on future builds. Overall, the jeeps looked in good shape with only a few issues found. I would like t...

A big thanks to the Brown's for preparing the wonderful meal and to the Martin's/Stearns' for opening up their home for the pre-party.
