Called the body shop. Called insurance. Preparing to have her taken in tommorow to get damage from a turkey strike fixed. Funny thing is, almost exactly a year ago I hit a deer. Insurance totalled it out that time:

completed my 97+ center console swap.
I went all out on this and mounted all 3 bolts on the E-brake, liquid nails on the seal underneath it, full 97+ E-brake cables to the axle. The hardest part was mounting the damn E-brake handle. Everything was downhill after that though. Swapping the cables and installing them took only like 20 minutes.
Moved the cb radio to a better location and thinking about adding my old side cup holder to the new console with a stronger custom mount
Pictures are too big to upload....go figure

Finally got the new RC 3.5" lift installed. Actually added 4.5" of lift to the Jeep. I guess the old springs must have been REALLY worn out. Now it has a new noise coming from the rear. Guessing its the u-joints in the rear drive shaft.

the old seals were pretty worn, these new ones have a much smaller hole, so they should do the trick.
i need a set of outer tube seals. those keep the water out fo sho.

i did a brake job the other day for a guy, just replaced shoes. one was touching, one wasn't. when i finished it all up, neither one was touching. but when i replaced everything (cylinders, springs, adjusters, cables, hardware... everything, they both touch and are nice and tight).
