I still dont know if this is a good or bad thing yet. My guess is good... Wasnt my fault. Estimates were right at $3,000.. Waiting to see what the insurance company will do. I should know by tuesday.

 

Get your money, go to the JY, get the parts you need, and bank the rest for upgrades.

 

I like the longer wheelbase. And the overall lower cost of the xj. That and my mother, girlfriend, best friend, and his mom all have an xj and i currently have 3. Anyone lookin for a 97 country xj white ill have it ready in a week or so. Pm me for pics and info.

The red one.. Ill be buying back if they totall it out. I cant let it go.

 

I'd love to have a 97 but, no funds at the moment.

 

When he said JY he meant junkyard. You started talking about wheelbase... did you think he was telling you to get a YJ Wrangler? lol

 

That's not too bad. I've seen worse =p

 

Yeah, that's not bad at all. I bought a wrecked 2 door once and it had that same damage on both sides and the entire front clip was missing. Cost me a whopping $80 for 2 fenders, the headlight/light bezels, front clip, ect and another $20 for the headlights.

Only downside for you is you have a really rare color so matching it without painting might be pretty difficult. Personally I wouldn't even report it to my insurance and take the risk of it being totally.

 

bomb can the whole jeep after installing junkyard parts, spend the rest on lift and tires. It's a jeep, they aren't meant to be too pretty

 

Such a rare color, be a shame to ruin it honestly. Wouldn't take much to get the JY parts, strip the paint off them with aircraft remover and have them shot with the factory color. Prep is the expensive part and it's much easier to do with the parts off, especially since they're all bolt on.

 

Eh......don't harp on him too bad, it took me a while to learn all the various abbreviations too.
This is my first Jeep so before I joined this forum, I didn't even know what an XJ or YJ or any of the other designations were.

 

Fender, Bumper, Header, Paint...... Your about 3,200

I was hit last spring and had a dented fender, bent bumper, broken header panel an I had a insurance check for $3298.00

I fixed my jeep and added a locker gastank skid winch bumper and still pocketed about $1100-1200

The Moron in the white XJ was texting ran a red light , hit the civic which spun 90* into me when I was sitting stationary, The White XJ continued to slam into the white Mazda 3. I was the only one to drive away

Before:












After:

 

I need someone to side swipe my front end just enough not to mess with the unibody.

 

Wicked front bumper man. Did you design it and how much? Im looking for a front bumper

 

Buy a beater XJ for the front clip, and axle, Upper & lower control arm are probly bent. scrap beater after.

 

No!!! Keep the beater for any more mishaps like this!
