Yeah, i've only ever used them at the dunes. Definitely helps prevent accidents when your coming up a steep hill

I've been real busy with school and what not, but I've had time to get out on the trails every now and then. The trails up here are amazing compared to what I've been on in the past.

This was from last weekend after following a rocky trail all the way up to the top of a cliff.

It's a sad day and my first post in over a year. Today when I was going through a blinking yellow light when a minivan (who had a blinking red) failed to stop and hit me. All the airbags went off but everyone in both vehicles was okay. The jeep is currently at a shop, waiting to be looked at. And unfortunately, with Michigan's no fault laws, the other driver has no responsibility for the damage on my jeep. Basically just need to see whether or not it is going to be totaled, or if it's even worth it.

Does anyone have any experience selling a jeep after an accident like this?

Sorry to hear that, man! Glad you're ok though. Definitely looks like she got the worst of it.

If they total it, just take everything off of it that's salvageable (lift, roof rack, wheels & tires) and just buy a new XJ.

Such is life I suppose. I made the call to part with it yesterday. With the airbags and a crack to the control arm mount and all the other unknowns, I simply don't have the money or time to fix it right now. I'm moving out to Colorado in a couple weeks so sadly I don't have time to do a part out or even swap the parts onto a new xj... I'm going to try to sell it as a whole, but don't really know what to ask for price wise... any thoughts?
