Stadium Off Road Rock Crawling Event

Who says you can't crawl in parking lots?

Do you ever pull into a crowded parking lot, trolling for an open spot and dream of it being a parking lot full of dirt, obstacles, and hard-core wheeling right at your fingertips? If you were in York, Pennsylvania, at the York Expo Center this past July 22nd and 23rd, that was no dream-it was the 11th Annual PA All Breeds Jeep Show.

No matter your taste, there was something for everyone-from trail-beaters held together with duct tape to spotless show Jeeps. The RTI ramp and obstacle course kept everyone's interest, including experienced wheelers who were maneuvering the obstacles and virgin wheelers trying their luck for the first time.

The show was made up of three main areas. There was a vendor/swap meet area, a show-n-shine, and the obstacle course/RTI ramp. Saturday was a full day of looking at Jeeps, playing on the obstacles, and checking out the latest and greatest in the vendor area. Sunday's festivities included 80 trophies in 21 categories and the Parade of Jeeps.


 Stadium Rock Crawling Event 87 Grand Wagoneer
Tony Melans of York, Pennsylvania, took first place in the Fullsize/Wagoneer/J-Series Truck Unlimited Class with his '87 Grand Wagoneer. It had an AMC V-8 bored-and-stroked out to 426 ci, with 8-inch National Leaf Spring packs, a Dana 44 front with a Strange Engineering 9-inch rear, and was clearing 38x12.50-15 Super Swamper SXs.
 Stadium Rock Crawling Event Jeep C101
This light green beauty is a very clean example of a bone-stock restored C101. It could've been straight from the showroom floor to this event. We wouldn't mind stealing this one for ourselves and then play keep-away from Cappa.
 Stadium Rock Crawling Event Jeep Comanche
At first glance we mistook this Comanche for one of Trasborg's projects, but soon realized it was just a Comanche with an identity issue. With non-matching front fender flares, homemade bumper that doesn't look quite finished, and toolbox in the rear of the bed, it's got all the makings of a Jeep only a mother could love.
