Two nights ago totaled my 01 xj pulling out of my driveway looking back to make sure I didnt hit the gate and smashed into my little sister's boyfriends truck that was parked in the middle of the road. Found a 96 cherokee that needs a new transfer case for 700, and I believe it has same one as the 2001. Planning on swapping those, pulling motor and tranny out of totaled one and scrapping the body after I remove the amp and stuff I wanna keep. I don't have enough posts to post in the for sale section so I'm working my way there, lol. Starting motor and tranny pull tonight after its towed home, any comments on transfer case swap? Not entirely sure if they are direct match and want to do minimal work possible since I am on a budget tighter than lungs during an asthma attack.

 

Jesus.

How fast were you pulling out of your driveway?

 

Bummer man. Glad no one was hurt.. Right?.. Anyways, I don't think the swap is direct, but doable.. Dunno about cost.. That varies depending on how much of it you can do yourself.

 

X2!

 

I felt a disturbance in the Force two nights ago. Now I know why.

 

Depending on his insurance Co, the % needed to total it vs. the actual value could be easy to achieve with minor damage

 

bummer man, That will teach you to pay more attention next time haha!

 

Agreed, but it sounds like it's totaled totaled. I mean he's parting it out and chucking the shell. Why would you do that if it were just an insurance total but minor actual damage. You'd buy it back and use the insurance payment to spruce up your rig, right?

 

How fast was he backing out of the drive way ?

 

Really? Are u sure its totaled and its just not a wrinkled fender lol.
We need pictures lol.

 

I guess your little sister's boyfriend is smaller than you? Surprising you do not mention any type of altercation. I know if you just carelessly slammed into my truck, I would not be happy, I don't care who you are.

 

pics? pretty hard to total a Jeep from just backing up unless you mashed the gas pedal...

 

The only way to back an xj up is full throttle

 

+1

 

Post pictures.
At least describe damage.
Are rear quarters damaged?
