Don't the high schools teach car repair any more?
 
When I was in school, my high school had a car repair shop program. Don't they do that any more?

I'm trying to figure out what to do with my Jeep, and one thing I thought of was to let high school car repair students have at it, but damned if I can find any evidence of the local schools having a car repair program. Maybe the school system just hasn't figured out that the internet exists yet (hey, it could happen... when I was in school my algebra textbooks mentioned computer punch cards, okay?), or maybe they just don't fund programs like that any more.

That jeep doesn't happen to be an 03 with a working back window zipper does it?

It's very rare. Shop classes in general (auto, wood, metal) are becoming scarcer and scarcer as schools are forced to dedicate more and more of the operating budget to turning kids into standardized-test-taking automatons.

Donate it to the LoT commune?

I checked and my HS doesn't have an automotive program anymore. Bummer, it was fun to work on cars at school. I think LB City College still has an automotive program.

North Hollywood High's auto shop teacher is still listed as faculty, so I take that as solid evidence that the class is still running. (wow, just found some photos of the school from 1927. Trippy)

I think Santa Monica College has an auto repair course, try your local JC.

Then again, I've always wanted a Jeep.

Golden West College has an auto-repair program. I think OCC does as well.

Betty - it is a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

You could try Quadratec for soft top parts.

Wow, I read that and thought, "Why would one need to go online for Pop Tarts that aren't stale?"
