haha nice pics in a few mins here

 

Ok sorry it took so long but here are the pics of the carnage

Heres the front end its not too bad i guess you can see where the tree impacted and scuffed the fiberglass thus pushing the endcap back and taking the fender with it.







And heres the passenger door. I was up against the tree and had one on each side of me tring to manuever between all of them and didnt see this one and kinda got hung up on it then reversed and pushed the pannel in.







Overall im not worried i think with a little work i can straiten everything out so no worries.


Oh and i forgot there are downsides of keeping the windows down




Add cleaning the interrior to the list of things to do

 

damnnn...thats a lot of damage...what are you planning on doing about the passenger side door?

 

I think im gonna pull the inside pannel off and see if i can get it at it caus it think it will just pop out. and if i cant i'll wait till next school year and take it into the auto body program at school i think they have a puller.

 

So today i worked on this thing and got some stuff accomplished i cleaned the interior. then moved on front end. I pulled the header pannel off, front bumper, and im proud to say everything is still usable. The endcap twisted under them impact and the front bumper buckled but after some clamping its now as strait as it was from the factory. I then moved on to the fender and with some heat from the torch the pannel is almost back to its orginal postion.

here are the pics

Washed ready for touch up bedliner

good job man.

 

Thanks

 

So got the thing all back together today then bumper looks perfect nut the fender is still a little tweaked but hey its a jeep not a show car.




My neighbor also gave me her old dune flag from when she had her grand cherokee with a little moding of the bracket it fits well.

 

whoa

 

whoa as in good?

 

sexy jeep man love the battle scars

 

Thanks man,

So got some fixed Pro Comp LCA's off a guy on jeep forum that will go great with my lift, Im planning on getting some shackles and coil spacers and getting it up around 4.5" along with some 32's or 33's. Have tried a number of times on getting some used tires off craigslist, ect. but with no luck yet. I will keep looking and hopefully before long all the peices will come together and the lift will be installed this winter.

Thanks for following along...

 

Are you in the South East Michigan area? I remember seeing somewhere earlier in this thread you said you were from Northville, I think. (I live in the White lake/ Milford area)
Anyway, there have been a few lift kits up on craigslist locally. There was a guy selling a 3" full pack kit but it didn't have shocks and was used so I was kinda sketched out.

If you're looking for 4.5" there is another one locally. The guy wants $500, you might be able to talk him down.
Here's a link to his Craigslist ad: http://detroit.craigslist.org/cto/1294609568.html

 

yeah northville, and yeah i have a 3" RC i just need some spacers and shackles thanks

 

Lookin to transplant to Plymouth/ Canton. Between Joy & Plymouth rds off Lilly I,ll keep an eye open for ya.
