I think the part that amazes me most is that the mirrors are still intact. I'd assume they'd be the first thing to break. But then I've never rolled a vehicle.

Glad your ok!

Glad everyone is OK.

By the way, that is the best looking highway rolled car I've ever seen. There is only ONE window broken (can you believe the back window made it, huh?). The light rack is untouched! Front is almost perfect, just some plastic and I bet the hood fits right.... and I'm guessing you suspension is just fine. Bummer is the top frame in the corner.

You need Sir Sam!

Best of luck! Love those bumpers!

Glad you were,nt hurt ,jeep looks repairable cost a bit though. How quick were you travelling? And did you roll into thick snow?

Comforting to hear that you all are okay.

Hope you can get the KJ fixed up and ready to rock again!

hmm, looks familiar.

If your insurance company does decide to total the vehicle, and you do not wish to retain and repair the vehicle yourself, could you please inquire about a buy back cost for me? Your rollover damage is nearly identicle to mine so to repair for myself would be relatively easy.

This was my rebuild, as you can see, very similar damage:

Sam, my first thought was that even though the rear upper-left panel was crushed more, it actually looked to be in better shape than yours started as

I'll bet having the ARB in the front prevented a lot more severe damage to the fenders, etc.

I would be so tempted to turn it into an HUT (Hummer Style) or Truck w/ an extended cab...

I tell everyone that these KJs are very tuff when it comes to accidents/rollovers...

Yes, overall the damage seems a little bit lighter, though there is quite a bit more rear body structure that is bent out of place(whole rear of the cab is distorted. And let me tell you, I spend just as much time welding in the new parts as I did jacking the body back strait, his looks like it will be 8-10 hours to jack the body strait back there. Thats after the body panels are removed.

What is that red stuff in the third pic?

Its sad to see.
Glad all are ok.

The insurance adjuster came over and I took it to get a estimet. Sounds like when all the parts and labor are added be about 7,000.00 not totaled yes. The night it happend we had 50 to 60 mile an hour winds so in some areas it was a complete whiteout . Heading south on two lane road with 3 to 4ft drifts in south bound lane hit one could'nt see did'nt know what was going on.

lol ya no kidding, we are talking about less than $1000 in parts, mostly labor here, and alot of it.

Very glad you're OK and you're KJ is gonna be fixed ( very good looking Libby with those bumpers! )

Maybe stupid question to ask you right now but it looks like the lightbar is damaged / came of the roof. Is insurance paying you a new one?

Do you get to keep the old one? Do you want to sell it? To me?

:oops:

Sorry to act as a scavenger, Light bar cost a months pay over here...

WOW that blows. It kind of scares me a little since I'm moving to Rice Lake WI in one more month (even colder and snowier). My wife gets to drive the beast more than I do and she is a bad enough driver without any snow. Perhaps these pictures will convince her that her little tractor really needs a set of ARB bumpers "for safety" :wink:

litton · **Posted:** Fri Feb 01, 2008 7:21 pm

I;m still amazed at how well these little beasts hold up in in roll-over or other mishap. How many people can drive there "wreck" into the shop for an estimate after a roll-over?
