Mid-Illini Jeepers

I have removed this parade from the online calendar and also the downloadable PDF.

Aha, correct you are. I didn't look there; sorry about that. That PDF is generated by our Events Coordinator, Al Wallace. He may not have known when exactly the parade would be in late 2016 when he created it. Also, although we've done the Louie Louie Parade every year for at least 15 years, our par...

No, it wasn't. But that's ok. See below. Are you not able to view the calendar on your device? If you click on the event, it will bring up more information.

It was.

It's nice to know you're OK with people doing that. That's what I do whenever I go somewhere where I plan to wreak havoc. Which reminds me... if you get a phone call from the Peoria Zoo, hang up. You might also consider moving.

There's a lot of enforcement/interpretation inconsistency between motorcycles and cars, so that's not a great comparison to make. My wife got pulled over once for a loud exhaust in her car (disclaimer: before I knew her) and I can guarantee you it was still quieter than the average stock Harley, let...

As I was posting this year's schedule in our online calendar, I noticed one typo on the meeting date in July. It should be Saturday July 8th; it was listed as Friday July 7th. I have fixed it in the electronic versions on the site.

Lennies x3 will be there.

I will send instructions. I don't like to post the procedure publicly as there is a password involved, and I don't want any riffraff getting into our ftp site! If anyone else needs them, post up and I will send a copy. Specify Mac or PC. It's not possible from a phone or tablet, but if you can offlo...

Do you really need it to be waterproof if it's mounted to the dash?

I'm just gonna throw this out there: as someone who has slogged through a lot of dash-cam video when putting together the MIJC videos, I find it to be completely unimpressive. The problem is that from the camera's perspective, which is basically bolted to the Jeep and pointed forwards, you get no se...

A few of us have been to Redbird before... it's a decent park, although rather poorly mapped. But I've not been to that event.

Thanks everyone... I'll do my YouTube homework first. I'll be working on it next Wednesday.

A shout-out to new member Ron Stake, who reported that he couldn't see any of the MIJC forums today. Actually nobody could; the database that stores all the forum information was corrupt, and it was denying permission to view any forums to all registered users. It's now back up, but in looking throu...

I'm helping a buddy next week work on his '06 TJ's air conditioning. Under-hood system is ok but it sounds like the upper vents aren't working... Just the floor output. I'm not accustomed to these new-fangled Jeep interiors, what with all the plastic, rounded corners, and luxurious creature comforts...

Fixed... For some reason that video was set to "private".

I transferred some old tapes for Jill and with her permission, I'm sharing a few MIJC gems from among them. First up, a trip to The Badlands from December 2001. This is about 5 months before I joined the club but it has a lot of "classic" MIJC members, many with rigs from before they were ...

I got a note via the "Contact us" page on the site from someone in the Chicago area looking for a Jeep club to join. Aside from Google (which is how he found us), is anyone aware of any decent clubs up there?

Agreed. Thank you for taking care of this, Jill.

That's too bad. He definitely had his peculiarities (don't we all) but he was a decent guy.

We've been having some issues with passwords on the forum lately, in particular with newer members. Please let me know if you are POSITIVE you are using the right password but you are suddenly not being let into the forum. Personally, on computers that only I have access to, I use the "log me i...

You're right... I got it all done while still on my butt. Ended up being much more comfortable. The calendar as well as the PDF link have been updated on the Schedule page on the main website.

Just as soon as I get off my butt and do it.

Where's the "like" button on this forum?

Limited... to the number we can sell.
