Sure heres a write up of what i put on my widshield as part of my display
FDNY 343 EDITION

This 2011 JeepWrangler JK is my vision my contribution to the tragic day 9-11-01.

The day 343 FDNYBrothers charged up the twin towers to rescue those running down. Not knowingthe danger of what was to become of them.

This jeep is in thebeginning stages of the “NEVER FORGET”theme. My vision is when a person sees this vehicle they will remember thesacrifice those 343 Firefighters made.

I have been in theemergency services for the past 25 years and on a Career fire dept as a 911Fire Dispatcher for the past 20 years. So this is very dear to my heart.

The jeep justrecently had the first item added as the Pick Axe, which was donated, on theleft rear. It will be detailed and have custom scrollwork pertaining to thatday. The other side will have a Firefighters Halligan bar, which will bedonated also to be mounted on the right side rear.

The hood will havecustom decals NEVERFORGET 343 FDNY on the front of hood. NEVER FORGET 9-11-01 on side of drivers side hood.

This is a projectunder design as its being built. Ideas from outside are always welcome.

This Jeep was custombuilt by AAS Custom Jeep out of Ansonia CT; John Turek the owner has been inbusiness for over 20 years at building custom jeeps. He was also recentlyfeatured on WVIT CT 30 regarding under hood Jeep fires. The video is stillavailable on WVIT website.

This rig has not seen any wheeling yet not sure if it will if its a tribute vehicle. I have recently had licensed music pertainign to 9-11 donated to me to use at these presentations along with all the FDNY radio traffic recordings. I have been asked to set up at the Great American Jeep Rally in CT they have also asked if i wanted to do the rocks.
I have also been recently invited by one of my FDNY Buds to gome down to manhattan and meet up with his captains station "Ten House" which is the company across from the towers for pictures. I am going to go not sure when i would like to do on anniversary but it might be too crazy.
Im sure theres more to write but i am not a bragger just very passionate in this. Hope to make some new friends and hopefully spread my image of my build to others. Please visit my page https://www.facebook.com/Project343WranglerJk theres alot more pics and please like it to follow. My fellow Jeepers are one of my biggest inspirations and i know that from my other forbidden jeeps page i belong to. There was a meet and greet at rauch in april i was almost hospitalized and couldnt make it. A jeeper from Maryland posted on the site he was disapointed I wasnt there and that out of all the people and jeeps there I was the one he really wanted to meet. That speaks alot for you jeepers. So if anyone has any questions please message me and check my fb page out. Thx Brothers (and sisters)(where do i go to upload more pics?
