need some advice
Hit a tree going 40mph not to long ago, did this to my JCR bumper and to my frame rails. (App won't let me upload pics) plan to ****** it to two to straighten the unibody out and then weld in some c Channel to reinforce and replace my lower rad/core support. Will post my blueprints when I can.

Anyone still here, basically I wasn't able to stretch the frame out. Any have and other ideas, the damage is so minimal that I don't want to get rid of this jeep.

Call around some body shops and see if you can find someone with a frame straightener that'll cut you a deal. When my Ram got wrecked I found a guy who pulled the engine cage out for $100.

woah. that thing is s**t f****d. I'm all for fixing a totaled jeep but when you destroy the frame rail like that it's usually game over. I don't see that getting pulled straight but you can always take it to a uniframe repair shop for an estimate
