hey guys.. bit of bad luck last sunday (on my bday lol).

was headed to a friends house and an f150 pulled out in front of me on the highway; i hit him doing 50, skidded across the road into oncoming traffic and hit a volvo head on.

the jeep was towed away and i'll be talking to the the f150's insurance adjustor tomorow to find out what theyre going to do since he was found at fault for the accident.

here's some pics of the damage, my question is, do you guys think it's totalled, and if so, is there a chance it's fixable myself with junkyard parts?

im worried the frame may be bent because of the pushbar on the front.. i was a little foggy in the head when looking over the damage after the accident, but i seem to remember the dashboard and center console being a little crooked.

the jeep's got sentimental value, so id really like to save it if at all possible.. based on the damage, does it look save-able?

a few more, including the f150 who hit me.

never totalled a vehicle before, so idk how much damage costs it would actually take to totall out a cherokee, i know theyre not worth a whole lot so im kinda thinkin its done :/

your unibody is bent there bud....its saveable if you have the money if not take everything off and part it out sorry

XJ BoSS

I doubt it. With a collision like that the unibodys probably haywire. But I'd imagine the f150s I durance will give you way more than the jeeps worth. So you may be able to get a all together better jeep.

Its possible, just depends how far you want to go with repairs.

Buy it back and fix it as much as possible and turn it into a trail rig.

Sorry ,man on your birthday hope your ok. Looks like that Ford pretty messed on the other hand. I would just find another one and use that one for parts

ya it was a lousy bday but at the end of the day i was still alive haha.
no major injuries even tho i wasnt wearing my seatbelt :X
the driver of the volvo went to the hospital but she's ok.

i definitely plan to get another XJ as soon as possible.. and it will definitely have a beast pushbar on the front, that thing did some work !!
all that mess of the front end, and that bar is the only thing still there :P


and maybe a train horn for those less attentive drivers out there -__-

rompnXJ

i might do that, i think to get it runnin it should just need a radiator and a computer

Glad everybody was ok , yeah them bars are great to have my buddy has like a four foot long one on his xj

Looks like your bumper just cut right through the front end of that ford.

i think that bumper saved your a$$

Sorry to see man but that is definately totaled.....

I have to agree, your door seams seem to be overlapping. Unibodies are meant to compress and distribute force from front to back. She is unfortunately toast, and not safe to fix. Glad to hear you are ok, and I have to get me one of those bumpers, that saved your butt.

parts jeep...glad your aight though
