jeepers creepers
Hey Everyone! Im Alyssa, and I have had my faithful companion for about six years now, Moby Big Blue he is a 2000 jeep cherokee sport with a rough country four inch lift on him. Unfortunately, over the weekend I was t boned, and in the state of New Jersey if you are making a left hand turn no matter the situation it is your fault. So the b**ch (lack of a better term) gets a new car on my dime and I have to fix my jeep out of pocket.
I bought the jeep with the lift already, so this is all a new learning process for me. I have been around jeeps for a long time I know bits and pieces, but i will for sure know more by the time he's back on and off the road.
So far the damage is decent, may have to do a possible rear axel switch(still debating), new leaf spring packs (not add a leaf, they start to sag and are cheap), back passenger quarter panel, back passenger door, new window (she hit me so hard my dirt bike helmet smashed through it and then flew another 20 feet), new back rim, not sure what else just yet.
The worst part is he wont even start now, fuel pump doesn't make a single sound.
I will post some pictures later on on the damage and any progress being made. Right now i am just fixing him up to be drivable again, he's my daily
I want to go bigger and better, but for now on a budget so i just want good quality parts for good prices.
If anyone has an suggestions or advice please feel free. Thanks!

well ****, im glad your ok. thats a really unfortunate law about left hand turns =/ quadratec and rock auto should have just about anything youd need. id just be worried that theres more structural damage than appears. without a frame, XJs are a little more susceptible to twisting and cracking. not that making sure its still straight is hard, but worth doing before you spend another dollar on it.. again, glad your ok and i hope the fix is quick.
