I'm glad you're okay. It held up surprisingly well, you didn't even break the drivers glass it looks like. Are you gonna fix it or replace it?

Maybe you can buy it back from the insurance company and pull all of your good parts off of it?

If you have libalitiy only, this is probably already your game plan.

I rolled my Wrangler going 80mph down 75- rolled it 5 times without the top or doors on. All I did was bang my elbow up aginst the door striker.

The good Lord is always with us.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, but at least you can walk away from it unschathed. When I go up or down hills in my Bronco, and it's a trail that I've never done before, I always walk it first to check it out.

Talking to my insurance now. I have full coverage on it. Im getting a rental car in a few hours, so ill still be able to get around. Its getting towed to a body shop tuesday i think for an appraisal/see what it would take to fix it, or if its even worth it. least i have a good insurance agent...

WOW!
I'm really glad you're OK....that could have been a LOT worse.
It's amazing how well built XJ's are, to stand up to that kind of misadventure.
What a shame, though...that was a sweet rig.
But then again, it might make a nice caged buggy,
(or donor rig for your NEXT XJ project)!
Again, glad you're OK!
Best of luck!

Keep us informed as to what the appraisal says and if it is repairable. Looks not too bad.

I am pretty sure its going to be totaled out....Its just a good thing your not getting an appraisal from the hospital if ya know what I mean. Its a smart idea to get full coverage, but do they actually cover off road accidents? Mine doesn't, it doesn't cover racing at the drag strip either, or NOS or much off the beaten path of daily driving. That sucks man, hope things get ironed out soon.
