Hello All! My name is Jesse from WI, I have used this website before for questions about my Jeep and now I finaly joined. I have a 1995 Jeep Cherokee that I purchased acouple of months ago and recently Rolled it on the way back from school so I was going to used the Expert advice from you guys to figure out if I should keep it around and try to fix it or sell it maybe to one of you lucky people out there. haha. Thanks for any advice in advance.

I have some more pictures in my profile. It doesn't look like there is any damage to the pillars. Just the top of window frame(I think) it started right up though, as well as ran just as good as it did before the roll over.

Rolling is a big fear of mine... I would just find her a new body and keep the motor if it runs good... or dune buggy project.

Why when you could either
A- bend the roofline back to how it was and reinforce where the metal was bent so you can get a windshield back in there.

B- If its really bad and your unable to bend it back just find a jeep being parted out or in a wrecking yard and cut the roof-section you need out and weld it to your roofline and A-pillars (after removing the bent section from your jeep of course)

Yeah, I acctually am going to school right now for welding, The only thing thats keeping me from going at this now project is the fact that it is 20 below with the windchill.....I have another car so once the time is right I can start figuring out what way to attack the problem.
