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.

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.
This is correct. I am selling the jeep to keep It so that April isn't stuck paying insurance on two vehicles (very high on a custom vehicle), maintenance costs because she can't do it herself she would need to pay to have it done, storage costs, etc. Etc. Etc. To save it for my daughter is in no way feasable. I wouldn't put the keys to a highly modified jeep in the hands of a teenager (which she won't be ready for another 12-13 YEARS) as nice as those ideas are, and as much as I sincerely appreciate them, they simply won't work. Thank you all for thinking of me, but it wouldn't be me that got it, it would be my widow and a 5 year old girl. They have no use for it.

It would, but unfortunately I can't drive anymore. I have very little use of my legs. I am able to stand with a walker but I need a wheelchair to do most everything else.

Sounds like WOL's plan is falling into place nicely!

Happy, at least you are moving around and staying strong! I know it's tough, but you have 50,000+ members on JK-Forum on your side man! And I couldn't be more proud to be one of them!

Well Ken, I'm sure if anyone on the east coast gets it, they would be honored to take you for a ride!

After reading through this thread, I am excited to be a small part of such a large, caring community of people. Praying for you and your family Ken.

I had one thought:
after the build, can we auction off some of the parts that came off Ken's Jeep? That way, some of us can carry a small part of this great cause with us, and help Ken even more

Yup, great idea. Been suggested already. Don't be afraid to post up more ideas. That's what makes things happen. It was an idea that made this happen after all.

Such a great thing a great community of people that have come together to do for a friend in need. It makes me very proud to see how everyone has rallied to help happy and his family. Prayers are headed there way. Can't wait to see the JK when its finished. It will no doubt be an amazing Jeep.
