Guy in Mitsubishi montero sport pulled out in front of me.... I tried to swerve to the left so he hit the back right of me. If I hadn't I would have t boned him. Im alright, why did my airbags go off ? I spun around 270 degrees.

Yeah, he had Liberty Mutual.... I paid $4300, wondering how much they will give me for it. I want a 4wd XJ this time... This literally happened 15 min ago, I just got home.

Why did your airbags go off? Umm hello did you look at your photos? Lol

I hope your alright buddy. Good luck fighting insurance. Don't talk to their insurance until you talk to yours. And don't take his insurances first offer! Make em pay for it!

The hoods only up because the horn started blaring and disconnected the battery, there is no damage to the front.... Alright thanks, I'll def do that.

Not much wrong with that really. little time with a welder and it'll be fine to wheel. My XJ looked far worse than that and I still drove it to and from work every day and wheeled every weekend. lol

Glad your alright. Looks like you'll have the time google "airbag deployment parameters" plenty to read up on, it's "usually" rapid deceleration above a certain threshold . Any noticable hearing damage from the bags going off?
