Besides, I couldn't ask for a better kid. He will definitely appreciate it and eventually know the sacrifice. That's not a bad lesson to teach a young man.

Here's a picture from the lot, before it got cleaned up.
Does it have a roll bar/cage?

That's an awesome thing you did. If I had a kid, I'm sure I would've done the same. My kids happiness (and safety) > my hobby/dream car. I'm sure one day, this kid will surprise you with a car of your dream in your driveway!

BTW, soft top wranglers are one of my favorite 4x4 .

Teenager that use to live behind us had a Jeep, no roll bar. He rolled it. He now rides a three wheel bicycle.

that was stupid of them to take it out. the factory ones like on the jeep i have and that moonlitebiker bought, are good and very safe but lack an A pillar which is its only weak spot really. im about to put one in along with some other supports.

Rolled Jeep!!!

you can see how the windshield is mushed down that it doesnt have much support and in the third pic you can see where there is no A pillar. ive seen alot worse and the stock cage has allowed people to continue to walk away with relatively minor damage to the drivers/passengers. after seeing all that i have i gotta say i feel alot safer in my jeep than any other car in a roll over

Edit: BTW Moonliteboker, do not let your son or any mechanic no matter what they say remove the sway bars. you can disconnect them for offroad which is a really good thing but if he is driving on the road make sure they are connected. the only jeeps you can get away with not having a sway bar are the leaf sprung jeeps
