Rolled the jeep... The build begins!
Soooo I was drifting in a dirt lot and as I was leaving, the curb was closer than I thought so I hit the curb sideways and when the tires hooked on the pavement, the jeep flipped. Not my best moment. Everyone that was inside is fine but the jeeps dead. Insurance isn't going to cover a single penny so my plan is to find a cheap one and swap over all my parts. My question is what year and sub model do I need for all my parts to swap straight over? I have a 98 classic with d30 and chrysler 8.25. Thanks!

You dummy. lol
Just fix that one... Grafting a new roof on would be cheaper and easier than replacing the Jeep and swapping the parts... Or buy a little Honda to drive around and cut the roof off of that one, bolt in a cage and wheel it.
You like drifting. Sounds like you need a Subaru.

No more donuts for me!!!! My friend bought a jeep that had been rolled. Cut the roof off welded in a cage with a roof on it and away he goes.

well I'm trying to find one for real cheap and swap over whatever I need to but I was thinking at least the lift and the tires and my engine and trans are fine so I'm just hoping to find one with a blown motor for cheap and throw my engine in it

^This, It doesn't look too bad, hard to tell from the pics but the pillars appear to be straight (or at the very least not crumpled or kinked) with the damage mostly limited to the roof sheet metal and upper windshield frame. Grafting in a roof section from a donor shouldn't be too difficult. You can probably get it pretty close with a bottle jack, some lumber (a porta-power do an even better/easier job), and a BFH.

This is the kind of crap that gives the offroad community a bad name. Go buy a Lancer Evo and hit the track. Looks like you were in a residential area to boot. You admitted your stupidity, so that's a start. Learn from your mistake and move on. Preferably in a ricer, LMAO....do the community a favor and keep the dirt play in designated areas in the future. That's one expensive and embarrassing lesson right there....
I'm pretty sure everything from '97-'01 will swap over.

If you were doing that in my neighborhood, that JEEP would be in worse condition than that. Driving is a privilege and a responsibility. How it is that you're not in jail right now is beyond me. Reckless endangerment, speeding, if those that were in the JEEP with you were under 18 there would be child endangerment charges (felonies in NY)....
The last thing you need to do right now is worry about another vehicle.
I urge the moderators and admin of this forum to report this member to the local authorities for investigation.
