well i got distracted by a flying bug that was buzzing around me and didnt stop when i should have so i used another members jeep to stop...

long story short now the hatch wont open... How do we get the hatch to open?

 

yikes...... lol pry bar? hammer from the inside? winch !

 

yup... i gave him my insurance info for a just incaser but i am going to get a new hatch and paint it to match if it needs it, or hopefully find a silver one. That was the ONLY thing that was damaged! look even the light is still intact!

 

id pull the handle to manipulate the latch manually and have somone pry gently. Im willing to bet the realease rod may have popped off.

 

go from the inside and pull the interior and you can go inside and pop the hatch from the inside

 

Hey that jeep looks just like the one i have in my garage, paints dents and all

 

oh so it is yours? haha

 

haha yes its mine unfortunately.... but i do know my poor girl can take it in the rear and fend of other guy er or girl jeeps haha

 

we need to make sure and take pictures of how we get this thing opened up tomorrow to post on here!

 

I love how theres one massive grim smiley among a bunch of brow smileys

i figured the best way to get in is cut open the area around the outside of the lock area and mess with the lock mechanism to see if it is that, then just pull back metal and pry...

 

i was thinking a metal hook, a tow strap, my bumper and reverse gear.....


i guess we are not on the same wave lengths dude..... but i have a saw for that! and a BFH lol

 

I can see it now....the hatch comes flying off, with more then just the hatch. I personally would like the just be able to take it off without ripping off the hinges ha

Plus your bumper has done enough helping

 

now when this happened were u purposely following each other? or was it by complete coincidence that you both happened to be members here?

 

we were following each other purposely. It was a forum run with 2 other members on here as well

 

here is how it happened....

we left said parking lot



had just gotten past the entrance gate of the park. then a flying buzzing bug thing (dont do well with flying buzzing things) flew into my leg area and i could feel it!!! so i went down to swat it but i also looked down.....

then i hear "brian.. BRIAN... BRIAN *scream*" smash and jerk forward....


btw i let my foot off the gas (manual tranny) to slow down..... but i didnt stop so i used tankerblade here as my e-brake!!
