Jeep JK8 Project

Jeep Project #2 (JK8)

So, some of you know that I built a 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited into a truck, then sold it to raise money for our adoption (see picture).

It sold to a nice couple up in Wisconsin that were Jeep collectors. They were so pleased with it & It was a lot of fun to build. That was so enjoyable that now......


I have Jeep project idea #2. I am going to build a Jeep JK8. This is a one-way conversion kit designed by Mopar. It turns a 4-door Wrangler into a 2-door Pickup. Very cool! I have wanted to do this as soon as I learned that this kit was available. My Dad called a few weeks ago, and said "lets do it", so now the Jeep JK8 project is a reality. I am VERY excited because, as a Jeep fanatic, I will have so much fun building this incredible Jeep, but will simultaneously be raising money for our adoption! How can it get any better?

We have bought the Jeep, so we are starting with a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4DR Sahara.
The Soft top, rear rollbars, rear seat, rear carpet, rear quarter panels, and many other things will need to be removed before starting the project. I have a guy (Brandon Gray @ Auto Paint Specialists) who does all of my paint & body work. He is a auto body wiz. He will start on the kit next week. I will be assisting, but I leave the paint & body work to a professional. I will be doing all of the suspension, tires, wheels, interior & exterior accessories.

This will be a fun project and I cant wait to get started. I will keep you posted on the progress. Once it is done, it will going up for sale on Jeep Forums, craigslist, & eBay.

T-shirts

We also still have plenty of our tshirts available. We have been selling them on Etsy, and have done very well. I think that we have sold around 480 shirts so far. Let us know if you would like a shirt, or maybe you just need a new one.

We have Adult, Youth, Toddler, and Onesie sizes.

Garage Sale #2

It has been some time since we have posted on here. I feel bad for not doing this more often.
Sorry that is has been a while.

So, we had our 2nd Garage Sale at High Street Baptist Church just weeks ago. It was a huge success! Big thank you to all that were involved. We could not have done it without everyone. There were many who donated stuff, many who worked at the garage sale, many who came and bought items and purchased some of our shirts. We raised yet more money to go towards our adoption and the Britton's adoption. We are also still selling our tshirts to raise more money.

We are still both anxiously awaiting our referral from Holt. It has been 12 months since we both have turned in our dossier. We have been told that it would now be about 14 months until we receive our referrals. However, we have also been told that there are 20-25 families ahead of us in line.

We are praying that things speed up. We dont want to be impatient. We want God to give us all a peace & help us to be more patient in this process. Thank you to all that have asked us how things are going, to all that have prayed for us. We appreciate it very much.
