With four small kids, bigger is BETTER (Commander, Ramcharger) in my book... but that's not to say TJ's, YJ's, JK's etc, aren't interesting - ESPECIALLY the ones that roll into an event like this! Here's a few that caught my eye, for various reasons.
This one even turned #1 son's head!
Ruger Firearms' Jeep!
Guns & Jeeps ARE a good combo!
My picture doesn't do the paintjob on this one justice!
I REALLY love the rack setup on the back of this one!
'07 Jeep Commander, Rocky Mountain Edition - 287 V-8 - Superchipped - aFe Stage II R-5A CAI - Flowmaster Super 44 - 2" Daystar lift - Spidertrax spacers - 32x10.5x17 Cooper A/T's - Fastman throttlebody - Skyjacker 8000 shocks
Of course, it's hard to have a Jeep gathering, WITHOUT noting their military history. Bantamfest was started for that very reason. LOTS of restored military Jeeps, and military-themed Jeeps were out in force!
I think the Boombox was optional on this model...

MORE military Jeeps!
Not QUITE "G.I.," but nicely-themed!
Our English cousin!Some sort of "Rover," from the early 50's, I think...
And finally, GREAT-Great-Grandpa - the progenitor of us all. A Bantam Jeep.

EWWWWWWwwww... DIRTY Jeeps!
LOTS of crowd, even at 4 in the afternoon - I'm sure it only got MORE crowded as the night came on, and the parade began. Passed a LOTTA Jeeps headed north, while we were heading back to Pittsburgh.
Southern end of festivities, looking north (we were parked on the FAR north end)
A little north of the center of town, looking southward.
When we first arrived, looking south.

NO shortage of XJ's and WJ's!
But as my first four wheeling experience, was in a high school buddy's CJ-5, I always have a soft spot for those. This is an '80 model - my buddy's was an '81, but was this exact same color! His had aftermarket rims that were close to this, but it's practically a dead ringer for my first four wheel ride.
A nicely displayed '74.
This might've been the best LOOKING Jeep of the show, though. Clean enough you could eat off of it!
AMC... I remember them!

And of course, LOTS of classic AMC & Willys iron - especially Jeepsters, trucks, and wagons!
This one was particularly sharp!
It was refit with a lot of modern amenities. I'm not sure on the engine, but it now has A/C!!!

Of course, EVERY event like this has your Good, Bad, Ugly, and WTF?!?! kinda vehicles.
The Good.
Classic NON-Jeep iron!
Awesome Comanche set-up!
The BAD (azz!)
And the UGLY!
I have NO clue what this is... or was... but it was here, so I snapped a pic of it.
And the... WHUH?!?!?
Why?
And THEN there was the gal with all the toy/stuffed dogs bolted to her TJ. I had the camera aimed and centered... and... couldn't do it. I'm sure even Compass owners would rightly shun such a person...
