If Your XJ Got hit...
 

Well I almost got hit from the side today. A car was pulled over in the fire lane in front of a store and I started to go around them, but they went ahead and pulled out as well. Almost hit my side.

How defensive are you of your Jeep and what would you do if you got hit? Let’s get a “If my XJ got hit I would…” thread.


I'll start. If my XJ got hit I would run to the junk yard and start replacing stuff.

Depends. My front bumper I think can withstand a decent hit. The rear would be fine too. Any severe hit in the side not on the doors would be game over

Well if it was my fault, i would say sorry and do what you said, replace parts from the junk yard.

If it was the other's fault, i would need a new MagLite.

Brother was rear ended by a blazer in mine. The blazer was totaled, ripped the bumper off and my hitch went through his radiator. My hatch was jammed. Took a screwdriver to it and it still opens fine.

If my xj got hit Hmmm let me think rationally,
I would go mental!

My first XJ got totaled when a lady pulled out in front of her. Both front drivers wheel caught and stopped them. My XJ was totaled as the whole front end was moved right several inches. That afternoon I started searching for another. It took me almost three months to find one that I could afford with what the insurance company would give me. I got to keep my totaled XJ for $150.00. At least I've got lots of spare parts. My daughter (driving) and son were not hurt (thank goodness) but a passenger in the other vehicle got a trip to the hospital.

If my XJ got rear ended, it wouldn't be pretty. My rear bumper is that cracked aluminum foil type so I covered it in duct tape. I got a brush guard going on the front so hopefully that protects the front. If it got hit in the rear passenger doors, probably just leave messed up since I don't use the rear seat.

Luckily I haven't been in an accident yet. Average person has one every ten years.

I would keep my Kool unless they were texting while driving..... Then death would come upon them (had a friend get killed by someone texting and driving last year)

I got hit twice.

I drove home both times without a scratch.

Other cars were totalled.


so i guess to answer your question, go home and have dinner.

I forgot, i actualy was hit once. Some twit in a Toyota sedan was tailgating me on snowy roads. I stopped at a stop sign, with my brand new 31/10.5 tries. They didn't.

lol, like KTM, not a scratch on my Jeep, almost took out the cars radiator with my hitch. Oh and the kicker, they didn't have insurance. Thank god nothing broke!

id search for another if it was totaled and probably buy the totaled one back so i could use it for parts

if my xj got hit i would do one of these :boxing::cursing::icon_cry::furious::cry:

I would feel bad for the other driver.

Depends on how hard it was hit and where it was hit. Both my bumpers and my hatch are already screwed up, so I wouldn't care if they got torn up. Front fenders are torn up too, and trimmed, so that's no big deal either. I guess as long as its still driveable, and the unibody isn't tweaked, I don't care if it gets hit.

I got rear ended like a month after i bought my '97. It was very hard to stay quiet because if i said what i wanted to, things wouldn't have ended very well. Only made it better when i found out he had no insurance, pulled the no speak english card, then insurance poured salt in the wound by not covering me. But what i would do if i got hit, well first thing take my phone and get pictures of their plates, that way if they decide to leave they wont get far. Still dont help the fact that my immaculate '97 country has unibody damage...

A month after my dad got his xj in 96, when I was 16, I was driving it to school, doing about 45mph, and a car on a cross street decided to go. When he realized how close I was, he panicked and hit his breaks instead of gas. T-Bone! I was knocked out by the air bag, when I came to, I tried to get out but the door wouldn't open, I kicked it open, got out half dazed and fully pissed. I started walking to the guys car, thinking I was gonna be a tough guy and talk some crap, but he was passed out in the pass. Seat, didn't have a seatbelt on. I thought he died, I saw him unconscious, my dads new jeep totaled, I broke down. The guy didn't die, called my dad at work from some house, he asked if I was ok, I did ya but not the jeep, HE DIDNT CARE ABOUT THE JEEP! I was so scared, but a fathers love. , right? I had my license for maybe two months. The jeep was fixed, kind of, about 400$ away from being totaled. So other than a lil tweak in the unibody, she has been the best vehicle ever! And now she is finally mine 16 years later!!

My front bumper would destroy a car possibly a truck, I know my sliders would hold up to a car , my gastank skid is bombproof but I know my *** end would be done . Thanks for reminding me I need to buy a swingout carrier

People have insurance in Greeley? I thought it was about as common as a drivers license or US citizenship out there...

As for me I'd be livid, since I don't have anything armored.

I got hit in the front corner of my JCR bumper by a truck without lights on in the early am. I was furious till I got out and saw the difference in damage. My jeep had a cracked blinker and a few scratches... the trucks hood was all smashed in. After that I was pretty joyfull. I think if someone hit it hard enough to really really mess it up, I wouldn't be thinking anything till I woke up in the hospital.

The last thing to total my Jeep got fried and eaten. It was an eight point buck.
Fixed that one:

Attachment 357870

If a person hit me they wound just wish I had fried and eaten them :censored:

PHAHAHAHAHAHA That is so freaking true! I can tell you've spent a fair amount of time down here.

If my xj got hit I would make sure everyone was ok first. but I will never part with my jeep its been with me to long and has alot of meaning to my family, my friends, and myself. I dont care if at some point its mostly tubes she wont go away.

last time someone rearended my brothers jeep they ended up having a totaled f150
