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
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!

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:


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