The story
On 7/6/2018 I lost my best friend. From then on I made it my goal to build a Jeep her and I would both be proud of. I picked Tonka up on the side of the road with some summer money I made at 16. I knew my way around a vehicle but unfortunately there were many lies associated with my YJ. Such as my frame being duck taped and painted over where it was rotted out. (How did I miss that??) it looked COMPLETELY realistic. Since then Tonka has been getting the love she deserves and was neglected of for so many years. She’s taught me how to drive and given me a memory of my best friend. Enjoy our journey! *all work has been done by myself w/ the exception to my powder coat and custom exhaust*
