Grand Mesa Jeep Club 50th Anniversary Photo Shoot with JP Magazine

Wally · 07-13-2012, 08:18 AM

This year is our 50th anniversary and after talking to JP Magazine at EJS, they expressed an interest in coming out and covering a trail run with a group that has been around for 50 years. We gathered up some of the long time members who've been there for 25-30 years, Roy and Ross in the 2 CJ-7's on 35's, then included our President Jeff in the willy's buggy, our VP Dale in the blue TJ on 42's, our trip leader for the club Jerry in the tan TJ on 33's and Cody with the ZJ on 33's, one of our newer members Katie and Levi in their JK on 35's and of course I couldn't miss out so I took my buggy on 43's. It sounds like it should be in the November, December or January issue, so in the mean time here's what we got.

Let's not forget about some of the guys that have been working hard for the club for a long time.

Here's Roy, who smoothly guides his CJ anywhere he wants it:

Ross, with another nice clean CJ:

Levi & Katie aren't afraid to put their JK through the paces:

Great looking CJs in that group.

I thought this was a jeep forum....figured i should at least share some pics of our jeep trips

I really like what badbuggy has done to his rig. I wasn't much a fan of the front clip arrangement prior to that.

I hope some of us eastern slope guys can join you guys one of these days. . .
