well for us it is. Just finished putting the tires on it and the kc lights. Rear ended my brother today while i was following him. Looked to my left for about 2 seconds. thats all it took. Luckily i have a good friend who runs a salvage yard and they have a red 97 cherokee sitting in his yard.

Appreciate it! yea just wanted to see if anyone has been in the same situation and how they wen't about replacing everything. If it's in the wrong section, an admin can move it. this was just the first place i wen't to. i apologize

My previous '99, I got hit head-on by a drunk at highway speed when he swerved into my lane. The front end looked much, much worse than that.
I wasn't about to take that sort of project on, insurer totaled it, but I know it was sold with a salvage title and rebuilt. Someone took that project on. It can be done if that's what you want to do.
Glad you're all OK.

If you don't want to have a salvaged title or gave it pop on car fax I would not report it to your insurance company. That is an easy front clip and radiator swap
