Well, That grille subframe is definitely shot, But It looks like you got off pretty easy. I'm assuming the airbags didn't go off? Looks like you need to replace the from bumper, grille, and headlight... Other than that, Unless there's some unibody Damage, which I can't imagine seeing how little damage the plastic had done to it, You are good to go. You might have reliability issues if you hit hard enough... Just little things damaged by the shock. |

just a rough guess from the pictures... you cant tell for sure untill you take it apart. grille, bumper, bumper impact absorber (foam/hard plastic.. rivets into bumper), check bumper reinforcement (steel) for damage, probably left inner fender, check front core support for damage, head light, grille subframe, check with tram gauge for square (cross unibody in engine bay and underneath.. if measurements are square it's prob. ok. if not. take to qualified bodyshop with frame machine). get plastic rivits for inner fender if it needs replaced.. also check fender/hood for dents and misalignment. if it's misaligned dont just loosen bolts and move them.. take them off and find the real problem. also check wheel alignment. |

i would have to agree with 2006 kj because i had mine at a auto repair shop after my black ice accident...he said all body/trim looks ok, but for you yea, not so good major things i would check is Radiator damage (dosnt look too bad) Front end alignment air deflector on bottom of your bumper looks dinged up but i would just take it off front bumper, bumper absorber the steel bumper should be alright NEW LIGHT i think the only MAJOR thing that I would worry about (which i did) is frame damage...CROSS YOUR FINGERS |

I love these forums I swear! You guys are something else, you can make me laugh at a situation in which I want to cry and I love it! Okay for an update here: I ripped most of the parts I could off the front uh.. theres a bolt that was underneath the drivers headlight that is like bent at a 45 degree angle and the frame right there has a small dent in it. On the front of the radiator it is bent up against the back part of the radiator and I have no hood damage and minor driver fender damage. This my friends, is what a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 HITCH/Bumper will do to a 2005 KJ Sport. So please, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES HIT A DODGE!  I'll always remember my first wreck in which I backed into a Chevy Pickup and tore the bed completely off the truck, guess what I was driving, and guess how fast I was going. 95 Dodge Neon, 15mph. So built Ford tough my @ss it's built DODGE tough but anyhow on a side note I am taking my baby to the Jeep Dealership hopefully my insurance will say, just take it to the dealership we will work the details with them and it will get all paid for. Doubt it but only one can hope!

do you have a certifit near you? www.certifit.com I have heard stories of their parts needing modding to fit, but I have never had any problems. Make sure you look at the part before you buy! Chrome Grille = $62.75 |

I wasn't saying that was high I was just surprised at how cheap it was! |

I am not sure if these prices are the same for all locations. 
I only had one problem with certifit, they would not do custom orders for me, I had to wait till the part came in. |
