Wow, just saw this thread yesterday, read almost every post. What an incredible thing to do.
I am not much for decals but I would buy one and proudly display it in Ken's honor.

I think giving the Jeep back to Ken and his family would be awesome, but I also think he is trying to raise money to help his daughter through College, thus the build mild to wild.

Either way it goes the work and support that WOL, sponsors, and everyone will be doing is really hard to match.

subscribe...

and very proud to be part of this forum.
God Bless!

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.
I truly hope Ken at least has a chance to drive it when it's done. I think it would put a smile on his face

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!
Sam
Come on SoCal! Who would be up for this?

Just a thought but I'm sure tons of forum folk live along whatever route you're taking!
The Jeep Wrangler Club of WNY would be honored to start the escort chain here in Buffalo. Great idea!

If the timing is right, I will be driving down from Rochester to join alongside you guys in the escort to the PA border or wherever the WNY club will go.

I might be driving my girlfriend's JK, since we have the back seat in it for dropping her and her friend off at the airport though. Perhaps I could drive back to Rochester and back in my JK.
