Project "Free Jeep" a.k.a Project "FJ" |
|
So, I had an idea the other night. I have always been fortunate to have good friends and good
mentors that helped steer me clear of danger and were always there to lend a helping hand in my time of need. In gaining all
the experience I have had with the site and the build-ups, I wanted to do something for those who can't afford to help themselves.
I have a lot of friends that have families and such and they have always wanted a project to work on, but money has always been
tight and they couldn't afford to do it. These individuals give up their time and effort for their family and I wanted to see
if I could do something to help give back.
I started researching different ways to do this and agreed to drive all over the place in search of parts and such to build
a “free” Jeep. I am always interested in how things work and always strive to figure out a way to do things in a different
and more efficient fashion, so I figured that this was a good match.
The desire to help others had been something that was instilled in me by my father figure Fred. He was an amazing person
with the most patience I have ever seen in another human being. And believe me, I required a lot of patience since I was
always breaking things. So, with albeit my brief introduction, let’s get started. The write-ups will document what I have done
so far and what I plan on doing. So, without further ado, I need to take you back a couple of days...
The following links will help you to understand the project further. Read on and if you have any questions, feel free to
