UPDATE: Don’t forget that next weekend is the FC Roundup. We’d planned on attending, but had to change our plans this week.
The 2015 Jeep FC Roundup will be held March 27-29. Unfortunately, one great FC guy who won’t be able to attend is Troy Fry, who passed away in September. You might remember the amazing work Troy did on his orange and white FC (check out his build photos here). He was an all-around nice guy and will be missed.
If you have any questions about this year’s Roundup, email Jesse Ybarra at m677@cs.com.

This is your personal invitation to another “Most Excellent” FC-Only event in Phoenix, Arizona. Andrea and I, invite all FC Owners and friends of Jeep Forward Controls and Jeep Fleet Vans, to come to see FC and FleetVan Jeeps, meet with other FC-Owners. We invite you, with or without your Jeep Forward Control or FleetVan. This is where you will always see some of the best authentic and original restored, ongoing projects and modified FCs and FleetVans.
Parking on my property is for FCs and FleetVans only, all other vehicles must park on the street. Learn a lot in a weekend, see how other FCs and FleetVans look and run, take detailed pictures, talk to other owners. Bring your FC items, toys, memorabilia, photos, artwork, literature, and manuals to display. See new FC related products and and parts, special tools will also be on display. FC Roundup event hats, T-shirts, will also be available.
There is no charge for the event. We welcome and we are always so very grateful for your donation of any FC related items that are given away during the Saturday afternoon free raffle. Also on Saturday are the large BBQ Hot Dogs and much more, for lunch. Free refreshments anytime.
One of the best things that happens everyday, is that you are also invited to drive your FC / FleetVan or you might ride in an FC Tour Jeep, we have FC-Only groups that cruise to and from breakfast and dinner.
The HOTEL 502, it is a few blocks away, near the lightrail. (N0TICE THE NAME HAS BEEN CHANGED, IT WAS THE CAMELBACK / SAHARA / Hotel 502 LAST YEAR)
We offer transportation to and from the West bound light rail that connects directly to Phoenix International Airport. Arrangements have been made again, for the same optional 24 hr security parking, for offstreet overflow of Haulers and trailers to park for the weekend again during the Phoenix Swapmeet at the County Fairgrounds.
Great show
Sorry to hear about the passing of Troy, he was like the George Barris of Forward Control Jeeps. The FC Roundup is definitely on my bucket list. Best wishes for a great show.
Jesse and Andrea always put on a great show and weekend. Even though I don’t have an FC, I still enjoy seeing them and visiting everyone. I hope Dave and Anne will be able to make it this year also.
If we won’t see you in Phoenix, you and Ann will for sure be at the 7th annual Northwest FC Get-Together in Tacoma, WA, right? (It’s in August.)
Steve,
Yes, we missed last years northwest roundup, so I’ll make it a point to get to Tacoma in August.
– Dave
Yes, last year everyone at the FC Get-Together was asking when Ann was going to show up…. We really missed her.
Yes, try to talk her into going in August this year, and ask if she’ll bring you along, too.
Everyone always likes her better … even my parents!
