I like the idea of returning the jeep to Happy's family but I know so many would like to have it as well. this shows how much people still want to help each other.

Okay guys. I've been following this thread and "I don't have good news to share" I'm only a 19 year old kid, so I don't have all the money I would like to donate to Ken. But after talking with my girlfriend we came up with an idea for everyone in SOCAL. She works at Coldstone Creamery and we are thinking of having a meet and greet type night and we will set up a donation jar for Ken. Although the owner of the store isn't in to giving out discounts, She said that for people who donate to him she will definitely give them a better price for helping a fellow jeeper out. There are a few other restaurants in the same plaza for those who want to eat and some space for everyone to park their jeeps and hang out and talk for awhile.
How does this sound to you guys in SoCal? Would you guys be interested? Let me know so we can get this planned!
You are in all our thoughts and prayers Ken, Keep fighting!

I'll be sure to post updates as they come in and, you can be sure we'll be posting up lots of pics along the way.

It would be cool if people just committed to donate money to offer the Wrangler back to Ken!
As awesome as i know it will be and how much i would want it for myself, if everyone else is (willing to make it happen) i'm willing to donate an extra $200 to the cause!

I think that everyone willing to donate could just start by doing so to the paypal account WOL posted.
Then the Built Jeep just needs to be sold as the built jeep it will be (maybe an auction, if legal, to get as much money as possible from the build).
This way Happy will receive twice the money than if we just wait for how the build is offered.

People, offering the jeep back to Ken & Family would be a kind thing to do,
But in all honesty,
maintenance, insurance, and up keep on a highly modded JK, is something I'm sure Ken would like to avoid. While it is a nice suggestion to offer the Jeep back to Ken, I think the reason Ken is selling, is to get out from underneath it.
