Frame Damage
I t-boned a guy with my '96 Grand Cherokee while I had a supposed $1000 push bumper on it. The bumper was fine but my frame got somewhat ripped and twisted. I have other vehicles I could use the 4.0 in, but I was wondering if I should try to fix the GC. Thanks for any advice.

Without seeing it I can't tell if it's worth fixing or not. But if the frame is tweaked I would just find another ZJ and swap over the good bits from the wrecked one.

It looks like it just ripped the holes where I attached the bumper, and bent the very front of the frame rails up. Sorry for no pics but it's on the farm almost 300 miles away.

You have to weigh the cost to repair it to the value of the vehicle. If the cost of repairs are more than half the value, dump it.
