XJ Crash Test?

I'm looking all over the internet trying to find the crash test video or pictures for the 84-96 XJ. Anyone know where I can find it? I'm just curious to know how much of a death trap my Jeep is

There's a couple episodes of MythBusters that did some extensive crashing of the XJ. You could try searching for those.

Thanks man! Not as good as I thought it would have been. Then again, most SUVs of the time sucked in front end crash tests anyway. It also shows that the front doors serve no purpose in reinforcing the unibody. Looks like I'm gonna go doorless soon!
