Still in limbo. Probably part it out. I replaced a ton of stuff last year. New front end (ball joints, tie rod ends, etc.), new front brakes, (calipers, rotors, pads), new hubs, new rear springs, new shocks all around. New windshield, too. Interior is in good shape. Heh, well, the dashboard is kinda rough now, from the airbags going off.
New lifters, head gasket, and valve cover gasket on the engine. New oil filter adapter o-rings. New coil, distributor about two years ago.
But we'll have to wait to see how the legal stuff settles out. The other guy's insurance (Nationwide) is playing hardball. I wanted to work with them and leave the lawyers out of it, but they don't seem to want to be reasonable, so....

I haven't priced it at all. It's still being debated with the insurance company.

Well, after a lot of kicking and screaming and pulling local ads to support my position, they finally offered a reasonable amount. Not what it will take to replace it, but reasonable.
Irish, I'll PM you about the seats, so we don't fill up the forum with our chit-chat.

It kinda hurts when you spent so much time, labor and money on your jeep only to have it wrecked but atleast you donate parts. Hadd someone i knew just scrap his jeep that had mint interior.

Yeah, my interior is in pretty good shape. I wouldn't call it mint, but no tears or rips. Just a bit grubby. Well, the driver's door armrest is losing its padded cover, but otherwise, it's fine.
I put a lot of work into it last year. Brakes, headgasket, lifters, front suspension, and more....
