Ken Offerbeck is not only one of the very first members of JK-Forum.com, he's also a senior moderator and a personal good friend of mine. Known best by his screen name, HappyCurmudgeon, Ken has the hightest post count on the forum second only to me and, has been a tremendous help in making JK-Forum.com what it has become today. For those of you who've been following his "I don't have good news to share" thread, you know that he's been fighting an uphill battle against an agressive form of cancer known as sarcoma and unfortunately, it's been one he's been losing. In a last ditch effort to provide for his daughter's future, Ken decided to sell his beloved JK and put all the money into a 529 college savings account. After months of being on the market, a member of the forum known as Hook-Em contacted Ken to see if maybe some of the sponsors here could pick up his JK, build it up and then sell it with 100% of the proceeds going to he and his family. The build would be called "Curmudgeon's Revenge" and it would be the ultimate 2-Door dream JK. Today, Wayoflifette and I have decided to take on this challenge, buy Ken's JK, bring it back to California and do our best to make this dream a reality.
Below is a shot of what Ken's mild mannered JK looks like now...

Our little silver JK is finally at it's new home after traveling almost 3000 miles. We hope you have enjoyed riding along with us on our journey across America along old Route 66. Merry Christmas everyone!
