Long story short I hit some ice, and driving on mud terrains I could not stop or turn when the corner came up. There were large aprox 6x6 wood posts that follow the corner, and I drove right into one.. My jeep was high enough that the post went right under my bumper, missed the skid plate and hit the steering assembly on the passenger side and stopped me dead. Luckily I was only maybe doing 5 mph when I hit it.

Since then my jeep is all over the road when going 50+ mph. And the passenger side tire is toe'd out noticably more than the drivers side.

What did I most likely damage???

Bummer! Like the way you worded it. "the corner came up" "the post went under my bumper" . "the pedestrian hit me then went under my car". Sorry, not much help. I did have a stump hit me more than once. Once on the luggage rack, (true!), and once one came and hit the tie-rod on my Power Wagon. Being bent made it effectively shorter and threw my toe-in out'd wampus.

Partially rip the steering box off on impact maybe? That would be my guess without seeing where it hit, idk?

You say the impact was on the passenger side, I'd have to say bent tie rod or bent drag link.

I neglected to read passenger side yeah my bad i take back what i said I agree with mithuth.

Check the tie rod and drag link for being bent. Also, since you hit the axle that hard i would check your control arm mounts and even though Cherokee94&99 said it by mistake he has a point. Check the frame by the steering mount bolts.

See if you can have the same accident, but in reverse.

That oughta bend it back.

Your steering linkage is bent. Nothing else to it.

Hard enough to stop the truck could have ripped the box loose. I wouldn't drive it anymore until it's figured out.
