Wrecked my jeep cherokee
I was driving to work today and the rear passenger tire blew out. I had my seatbelt on and they say I was ejected out of it. I got hit in the head by something the first time it rolled over I have a 4 cm by 2 cut in my head and a bruised shoulder and sore ribs. I am hoping to get my jeep back so I can strip it down and get another chassis from a wreckers yard and rebuild it.
Iam more upset my jeep is wrecked than i am about my injurys

I was the same way when I totalled my mustang. Took a concrete barrier head-on at 60+mph. Got a split sternum, several broken ribs, 2 busted wrists, plenty of cuts and bruises. First thought when I saw the wall coming?

I feel Ya. Glad you're OK, but that really sucks about your jeep.

Glad you're OK - that looks like no fun at all
The lack of rollover protection in the XJ is starting to scare me a bit!

Thank you guys I have been to the wreckers today to get my stuff and at the end of the month I'll get her back iam going to strip her and salvage what I can. Here are some photos from the wreckers. The only place the roof didn't come down and in to the passenger compartment was where I was sitting.
From what I was told and what I vaguely remember is this I hit the bar
ditch and she rolled and I hit my head on something and blacked out when I could see again I undid my seatbelt and opened the door and rolled out on to the ground she then bounced over me and she came to a rest and I was quite a way from the jeep. Witnesses said they saw me drop out and she went over me and didn't touch me. Iam a volunteer fire fighter and drive on our county ems I have never seen anyone survive getting ejected or leave a vehicle and live to tell the tale.
Iam stood at the last tire mark and my wife is stood where my jeep stopped at.

BFG T/A KO's?
Got any pics of the tire post blow-out? I am curious to see how it failed.
Glad you are OK - that **** does not look like it will buff out.
