He is in Minnesota. I wish Texas got some snow like that. Not enough to crush our Cowboys Stadium though.

Ive been keeping up on this build and you've come so far and I have always thought about what if i crashed my jeep or rolled it and I would totally swap my parts over to a new one but that's just me. You should get another stock one, try and get as many parts off your jeep now and swap them on the new one Get a honda for the time being, but like you said you cant have a wrecked vehicle in the driveway. So get a couple buddies and you'll get those parts off in no time!

If you do part it out, definitely interested in parts

Good luck man

Its up to you, I believe your the only one on the forum to have a 99 2-door 5-speed you could trade it pretty easily. But its up to you if you want another cherokee or something else, and I know what its like to work on a limited budget lol

yeah im gonna miss her but i think its time to move on. she was showing signs of age and atleast all the parts will be going to be used on another rig.

Give me the plate. I'll drive up there and kick that dumb hags ***. All joking aside glad to hear you walked away under your own power. I rolled a cavalier about 4 times doing 50. It definitely shakes you up. Honestly I'd break out the hi-lift and straighten the roof out as much as possible, beat the windshield frame into place as best you can, throw a junk yard door on, and try and make it through the winter. Sorry to see something ****ty happen to a good guy and a good jeep. Best of luck.
