It's a 34 hour drive down 80 west about 2,100 miles to where he lives in Provo, then a couple hour drive to Moab. I'm looking at about a week and a half - 2 week trip. Anyone that would SERIOUSLY be interested in this please let me know.

I was taking a dirt road home due to the wonderful weather and my good mood about leaving work early. I came around a corner to find a deer standing in the middle of the road staring at me. I hit my brakes, rear tires locked, and I let off the brake pedal cause that's what I'm used to doing (no ABS). When I let go, Jeep went in the now-forward direction, into a 2ft wall of dirt. Left front tire went up the berm, Jeep went upward, came down hard and did a full roll, then back onto the roof.
Called 911, then my supervisor, then my insurance company. It's so totaled, they're just wasting my time taking it to a body shop. Gonna get a rental tomorrow til I find out how much compensation I get.
Keep an eye out for nice, cheap XJs. I don't know what options I want yet.

I walked away from it fine, but my back and neck are starting to hurt pretty bad. I'm probably gonna go to the hospital on Ft Detrick tomorrow to get checked out.

Dukie, I told you I'd be your guinea pig for those

I'll scale everything up this afternoon, and figure out how much steel and tube for a full set. I'm thinking if there is enough interest we can get the price down a little more....
Your not gonna need a full sheet of steel for front and rear...
