The Background
[HR][/HR]Ken Offerbeck was not only one of the very first members of JK-Forum.com, he was also a senior moderator and a personal good friend of mine. Known best by his screen name, HappyCurmudgeon, Ken still 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 is today. For those of you who've been following his "I don't have good news to share" thread, you know that he had been fighting an uphill battle against an agressive form of cancer known as sarcoma and tragically, it's one he ultimately lost. In an effort to help fulfill a dream of his, to provide for his daughter's future long after he was gone, Cindy and I decided to buy his beloved Jeep, build it up, sell it again, invest ALL the money into a college savings account (minus taxes and auction fees) and by virtue of it, help him make his dream a reality.
Below is a shot of Ken, his daughter Mackenzie and what his mild mannered JK looked like back when we bought it...
VENGEANCE
[HR][/HR]While most everyone here may know that our big white JK is affectionately called "Moby Dick", I think few actually know where that name came from. Fact of the the matter is, it was HappyCurmudgeon who christened it with this befitting name after seeing it all built up and, I think it's only appropriate that we reciprocate.
On December 27, 2011, we lost our good friend HappyCurmudgeon to a dreadful disease and, while it may have taken away his life, it couldn't take away the man he was, the life he lived and the people he touched. It is because of this that he can now take his revenge on cancer, a disease that tried to crush his family and do so by being able to keep on fighting for them now through the build of this Jeep.
As of that day, we officially named this JK... "VENGEANCE"
Thanks to the generous help and support from the following manufacturers and vendors, we've been able to transform this 2-Door JK into a badass machine worthy of its name and cause:
Off Road Evolution - Installation/Labor
EVO MFG - EVO Pro-lite hood, EVO front bumper & stinger, EVO front and rear stretch, EVO corner armor, EVO rock sliders
ATX - Slab Bead Lock Wheels
PSC - Ram Assist Steering
Dynomax - Exhaust System
Poison Spyder - Cage
WARN - VR8000-s winch (with Spydura synthetic rope)
Nitto Tire - 37" Trail Grapplers
4WD.com - Limited Shopping Spree
Superchips - Flashpaq
Sparco - Seats
Rock Krawler - HD Automatic Transmission Pan
Advance Adapters - Rubicrawler
Hi-Tech Collision - $5,000 paint job
Dynatrac - ProRock 60 Full Floar Rear Axle & 44/60 Front Axle

Just spoke with Off Road Evolution and they're eager to help us to make this into one hell of a badass JK!! In addition to kicking in an EVO hood and EVO front bumper, they will also help us to do all the install work plus do an EVO 4 inch rear stretch!!
GO OFF ROAD EVOLUTION
Gotta make some more calls and get this thing built up
