All, The Jeep Community is all about family. This family travels around the country to be a vendor at the Jeep events with their 3D printed ducks and other items. I was lucky enough to purchase one of their limited edition Bantam Jeep ducks at Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival. Please pray for this family as they try to rebuild their business. If you are able to help financially, their Gofundme is listed in the original post. God will move and provide for those who ask. Lift this family up in your prayers please.
This is one of the hardest posts we've ever had to make.
Many of you know us as the family behind J.A.N.K. 3D Designs, but many don't know that J.A.N.K. stands for Jacob, Aaron, Noah, and Kyla. This business isn't just what we do—it's our family's dream.
Last week, we traveled over 1,200 miles to Sturgis, South Dakota, for Jeep Freedom. We invested thousands of dollars in fuel, lodging, a rental truck, booth fees, and travel expenses because we truly believed in the event and were excited to introduce our handcrafted Jeep ducks and creations to a new community.
After a slow first day, we went to bed hopeful.
Before we could even open on the second day, everything changed.
A powerful overnight storm with 50–60 mph winds ripped through the vendor area.
When we arrived that morning, we were met with devastation.
Both of our tents had been destroyed. Our displays had been thrown across the asphalt, and more than 100 handcrafted 3D-printed ducks were broken. Years of hard work were scattered across the ground. Several other vendors also lost their tents in the same storm.
We've included photos of the damage and a video our booth neighbor captured during the storm that shows just how powerful the winds were and what our booth endured before we even arrived.
We are not the kind of people who ask for help. We believe in working hard, and we've poured our hearts into building this business from the ground up.
The truth is, we wouldn't be asking if we didn't truly need it.
If you're able to help, we've created a GoFundMe to replace our tents, rebuild our displays, and replace the inventory we lost so we can continue doing what we love—creating and sharing our Jeep ducks, fidgets, and other creations with all of you.
If you're not in a position to donate, we completely understand. Simply liking, commenting, and sharing this post can help us reach someone who may be able to help.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has supported our family over the years. Every purchase, every kind word, every share, and every donation means more than we can express.
This storm may have knocked us down, but it won't stop us. We'll rebuild, we'll be back on the road, and we can't wait to continue sharing our Jeep ducks and creations with all of you. ❤️
