ExtremeTerrain Partners with Make-A-Wish on Wrangler Build
A Make-A-Wish recipient named Earl had his 2002 Wrangler Sport totally transformed with help from aftermarket supplier ExtremeTerrain. The Jeep was in massive need for repair. Many of ExtremeTerrain‘s vendors and affiliates-including Teraflex, Rugged Ridge, Malvern Collision, and M&A Upholstery-donated parts and labor to make Earl’s wish for a dream Jeep Wrangler come true.
ExtremeTerrain Video host Ryan Huck played a critical role in the Jeep’s transformation:
“I’ve worked on a lot of Jeeps, but this is by far my favorite TJ build,” Huck said. “I had the pleasure of meeting Earl. He is a great guy and very deserving of this Jeep. I hope he has as much fun driving it as we had building it for him.”
The project included a full frame-off restoration, with close to 500 man-hours invested, turning the Jeep into a fully-built, off-road capable machine.
The ExtremeTerrain team debuted the Jeep during its annual company block party in Paoli, Pennsylvania. Earl, who was in attendance, was astonished and unsure if it was the same Wrangler. He examined the TJ from top to bottom, pointing out all the upgrades and improvements.
“It’s safe to say that Earl’s wish came true,” the ExtremeTerrain team stated in a news release, “and we were thrilled to play the role that we did for this deserving recipient.”
