Hi again ..
Just bought this, but is it easy fix in your opinion ?
never saw the jeep in real life waiting for it to reach my country ..
is the PO here

The most important thing does it have frame damage ? what do you think ?
spare part are very cheap 2 doors is like 100$

The insurance company say it runs and drive the DAMAGE TYPE SIDE; FRONT END and its from or was in 136 KENNEBUNK POND ROAD LYMAN, ME 04002
United States (also ship it from this address)
VIN:1J4FF48S2YL193813

here is the pics ..

 

Hard to tell the full extent of the damage. As long as the rail(s) are straight it probably isn't too difficult of a fix. Since the windshield is cracked the A-Pillar is likely tweaked (which technically qualifies as "structural" damage on a uni-frame vehicle) but probably isn't too hard to pull straight as long as it is only bent or dented and not crumpled or badly creased. The rocker is definitely damaged (the rocker panel itself is only cosmetic not structural) but it is difficult to determine if the pinch-seam (again probably not too difficult to pull straight) behind it is damaged or not with the rocker in place. A pic from underneath would be most helpful in determining the condition of the rail and pinch seam. Of course the doors are toast.

 

The insurance totaled it for a reason i would use it as parts but that's it.

 

Insurance companies will total an XJ for a non-functioning hatch strut. The fact that they totaled it has nothing to do with your ability to fix it.

 

Replace the door (or remove it), swap the fluids & plugs and run it into the ground! Ha ha! Trail jeep.

 

Well.. What KGM said. Also you are responsible for the stickers now. So yes you have to fix it.

 

pictures are hard to tell... take it to a body shop.. get your own estimate of the damage..

 

Having a salvage title will kill any resell value later on,And some insurance companies won't give full coverage on a salvage title.

 

The OP is in the U.A.E. I don't think he is worried about salvage title or insurance!

No way to tell if there is frame damage by those pictures. Have it looked over very good by a mech. If frame it damaged, then sell for parts or scrap metal.

 

Hey, mine got crunched by a mechanic and their adjuster totaled it but they decided to just settle for cash and give me my Jeep back. The damage was minor but they figured 1,800 to fix it. That damage looks to be considerably more to fix by a body shop so more expensive than the vehicle is worth but I would tackle it if I could see a picture of the damage below the door with the door open first. I doubt there is any frame rail damage.

 

It was long time i know .. received the jeep about 2 month ago i was very busy to decide what to do with it ..
wasn't that bad really but it need some work ,ok i decide to fix it but not pay more than $1500 ..

The good
1-There is no frame damage.
2-The engine start and working great from the first time.

I hope the transmission and TC are good never test drive it they look fine from transmission oil but who knows.


The bad
1-Rust.
2-engine leaking oil from the rusty oil pan and there is no belt.
(i hope they don't drive it for long time like this for overheating reasons)
3-shocks

so i visit the JY here is the poor jeep that i use .. YES its 60 anniversary sh...t
