Well... I rolled my Jeep a while back. Turns out i'm not very good at Jeepspeed. Here's a link to the carnage album and us "fixing" it.

A lot of people said buy a new Jeep and transfer all the parts over. So I did buy another one, a 92 XJ but I'm keeping them both. I like the idea of having 2 Jeeps


Cheers guys.

I like the new look. did you have to straighten anything out like the pillars or windsheild area? or did you just cut off the bad parts and plop on some "new" ones.

well daggum. I like the fact that youre just gonna build onto it and not give up! haha

BrofessorXJ

Exactly. Lots of measuring and cut off the messed up parts and welded a new top on. We're about 75% sure we can get full doors back on too. Originally it was going to be just half doors.

I just couldn't let her die like that. Rolled and landed on the wheels concussed and in a daze. Said f it and turned the key and she started right up. Drove her home just like that after we "fixed" her. It was a bit windy haha.

Atmos

sounds good. I've got some flop damage I need to fix. I smashed the A pillar in and it bowed my dash. I'm worried I wont get it straight so I've been putting it off. I'll be watching the progress on yours do you have a thread?

Atmos

haha yep I did the same exact thing. flopped it on the passenger side. swore and cussed for about an hour until my friends showed up to help. topped the oil fired up and went home. can't let it go just yet

No build thread but I plan on starting one up soon. All the welding work and armor is being done by my good buddy Unleashed on here. Dude is insanely talented. He's up there at the top and was JOTM a few months ago. I'm not that good at welding and fab work just yet but i'm learning and it is a friggin blast making your own stuff. Just got a new windshield put in today and it was only off by 1/8" after chopping the top and welding a new one on so I thought that was pretty damn impressive. He said it was a pain in the *** though to get everything to line up.

Do you have any pics of your damage?

Atmos

mine doesn't look that bad with the doors off. the door took most of it thankfully. but the a pillar is smashed and my dash is bowed in. been driving it around for 3 months just putting off the work lol



separate occasion being towed





and here's the parts rig. picked it up for $300 and already sold the hatch, front clip, and a bunch of other parts made back $150. I'll make enough money in scrapping it to afford the new windshield

the entire passenger side is stripped now. doors off, interior, and windshield. this little jeep even has 2x6 rockers on it. gonna figure out how to salvage those..
