Default Hello from Iowa

Hello forummers. Love my Jeep. I hit a deer with my 1995 Grand Cherokee Orvis just before Thanksgiving 2009. Lost pretty much all of the front end. Grill, lights, & bumper are all destroyed and the lower square tube is bent in. I am planning on rebuilding it. Bought a 1991 Ford Escort to drive while I am fixing the Jeep and hit a deer with it in December. Bent the hood and front end back out by hand and I'm still driving it. The radiator seems to be intact, it has about a 1/8 inch indentation from the fan but might be OK. Transmission cooler seems OK. Any tips are welcome.

Welcome, from Wisconsin. Ever think about a big, heavy brush guard. On the front of your vehicles. Especially the Jeep!

Haven't been on here in a while. Thanks for the replies. Very sad day today. My Jeep caught on fire and is a total loss. I have the full size spare tire with leather cover, if anyone can use it. Matching tires on the Jeep still look good also.
