speed limit on the road is 45 and he came flying around another vehicle doing about 50+ so i guess i'm jeepless for a while. i'm ok cept for a bruise here and there and some pain that will eventually disappear. so here are some pictures of my devastating loss. :cry: (the white car is the one that hit me)

The whole rear section of your KJ looks shifted. I doubt that'll be fixable. At least you are OK.

Jeeps can be replaced, people can't. Glad you are okay. The whole axle assembly came apart. :shock:

Holy crud. I was looking at the pictures and all of a sudden thought "Hey, that looks like... *looks at the user name*... IT IS!!!"

My god dude I'm glad you're alright. Nice to see it didn't flip you over! ...Looks like you have all wheel steering now... :lol:

Maybe you can get another wrangler now? :lol: I got some wheels and tires I can sell you 8)

Wow, that really bites, but at least you're OK. I am flat-out astounded that an impact like that didn't flip you over.

WOW MAN.

That looks like it was a loud hit too.
Glad no one was in the pass back seat. Looks like they would have had some impact.

We can replace Jeeps, not people. (YET)

thanks for the replys guys. luckily i didnt have the family in the jeep. if they had i dont think my kid would have walked away. i'm pretty sure i was throw in a 360 spin so i'm just as supprised that i wasent flipped either. my brother showed up a few min after to get some things from the jeep for me and he said he found my cb antenna about 40-50 ft from where the jeep stopped. snapped right off the mount and flew. havent heard from the insurance adjuster yet but i'd say it is totaled. atleast i got the gap insurance when i bought it. not sure what i'm going to do as far as wheels now so i guess my mountain bike is going to be put to some use. atleast i live down the street from work.

WOW good to hear you are ok. Yeah good thing you did not have kids in the car, my 5 year old daughter sits on that side in the back. People are just crazy drivers sometimes. Did that driver have an excuse for the demolition derby on the streets? I dont know what I would say to another driver who was that reckless on the streets. Glad to see you are ok.

thanks, i didn't even talk to the guy that hit me. i actualy didn't get out till the ambulance showed up and took me. the driver of the car though did have the courtesy to start yelling and screaming at me after he hit me and got out of his car. some one kept him away though.
