Rolled my xj
Last week I was driving on a state highway (in NE) Found a slick area and ended up rolling my xj 1.25 times. Luckily I was on 12"+ of snow before it went over so for the most part all it did was cave the roof in and crack the upper right corner of the windsheild. It still runs and drives ok but the drivers side doors close against the drip rail which holds the top of the door 1.5" away from the gasket. I just ended up with a sore neck and shoulder from it (did get checked out just in case). I'm frustrated because I have 4 winter only tires with perhaps 4k miles on them and 5 Dextero A.T. tires with less than 3k miles on them all in p235/75r15 and on matching factory rims. The Jeep is not worth fixing but has a good drive train. I'm trying to decide weather to keep it and try to push the roof and drip edge back up where they belong, part it out, or junk it. I don’t like the last option because I'm sure there are those who could really use the drive train, and the junk yard would not give me much for the tires and wheels. Parting it out is likely to get me in trouble with my towns cops but if I keep it tagged and drive it from time to time they can't (legally) say much, but I don't know if I could justify that.
