Sadly for me where i live in florida. I was told by multiple insurance companies that if the airbag went off they wont even let you insure it, Even tho they allow you to change air bags if it had an accident where the airbags went off they wont even touch it with a 10 foot pole. Then you gotta go to the sketchy insurance companies lol. But im afraid to say that jeep if you dont want to invest major money into body repairs its best to let it go. If the chassis (unibody) is bent then its a lost cause from what i was told. Even if you get it all fixed im positive it will chew through tires since the chassis wont be straight. The slightest bend or imperfection and it is very hard to align properly. And that sway bar is very sketchy.

She was. That`s why I was hoping I could save her, but like EEVEE said, the frame bet and I didn`t feel like I could trust the frame and sway bar (not that she wants to drive her anymore, probably)

lol im sure you can salvage alot of parts out of it and still make a good chunk of cash from parts alone.
