so went off roading this weekend and had a bad turn of events. my *** end fell into a wash out and in turn my xj flipped. most of the damage was in the front right fender and the hood. was thinking of chopping the front end kinda like a thread i found on here but cant seem to find it again.. there was also a bit of damage to the roof but my tire took most of the beating there. also going to need a new hatch. end state my GF was spotting for me (not happening again) and she flipped when i flipped haha but people are all well.

also exo cage will be going on ASAP
i will also be doing as much of the work i can myself.
any and all ideas welcome.
Thank yall

Wow. Looks like that tire saved your roof. What's that mounted to? Look like if you replaced the fender, hood, and hatch you couldn't hardly tell.

Honestly I'd just put a fender, hood and possibly hatch on it and call it a day. Doesn't look like the roof got messed up at all or barely for that matter. Especially if its your daily or you drive it alot I wouldn't really mod it like that. Cage is definitely a good idea. My xj was alot worse when I rolled it. I could of saved it if I had alot of effort but I like the idea of having a stock type body rig for the most part. Cage is definitely a great idea my newest one will be getting a hybrid in the future

thats what im thinking. and youre right that tire saved me a lot of head ache.

chipo77

yeah yall are probably right i mean keep it simple.. damn expensive hobby haha. thanks

my bad the tire was just tire strapped between the stock racks

Not very often do you see a cherokee rolled onto the roof with the windshield still intact.

i got really lucky. but was still heart breaking a bit. that jeep was my toy but rolling and all that jazz that goes along with it is part of the hobby. still doesn't make it hurt any less

I say the same. Replace the hood and fender. Or take the hood off for now. And also replace the taillight.
