As for what I did do, called insurance, filed a police report, and cleaned up the glass while waiting for the glass company to show up to replace it.
Someone did that to mine too only with a larger rock so it left a larger hole. I finished the job for them with a pipe wrench, or large set of channel locks...can't remember.

That was last November, it still has no back window lol.

I was mad at first then got use to not having a back window.

It was probably a zombie. What do you expect when you publicly disparage zombies???

pulled the cylinder head, dropped it off at the machine shop to have it resurfaced and the valves and valve seats machined.

Totally read that wrong the first time through. I thought you said you parked IN the river and floated your jeep downstream for a few hours.

Nothing major today. Finally replaced the female end of the drivers side seat belt and briefly messed around trying to get my e-fan to come on.

Installed a switch so I could get the e-fan to come on.....and the jeep promptly rejected it. Few miles down the road and smoke is coming from under the hood. Awesome.
