You might be able to have the stuff in your jeep covered under you home owners insurance if you have it??? Just a thought. I'm sad for you man that sucks!!!! :cry:

bullpoop they won't cover it, they should, check this out

I got in an accident on I85 around greensboro in NC years ago driving an LTD with groceries and what not in the back seat and golfclubs in the trunk

the impacts were so hard the shafts of the golf clubs shattered and a bag of tortillas in the back seat burst

I told the insurance guy i didnt care if they covered the golf clubs but they were going to friggin cover the bag of chips because i sure wasnt eating them out of the floorboard

they covered both plus the car, plus my medical plus the fact that i was out of work for 2 weeks

i bet a vfw attourney would change their mind about what they were going to cover that you've been paying insurance for them to cover

bearmedic · **Posted:** Thu Mar 19, 2009 6:07 pm

poor driver

poor jeep too

i'd go salvage that arb and put it on your next Jeep if it will fit, like a transfer of spirit thing

If I won the lottery tomorrow, you'd be hooked up by monday

Sorry to hear about you Liberty, like always good thing no one was hurt. But to stand by and watch it burn that would totally suck.

JJsTJ · **Posted:** Thu Mar 19, 2009 9:48 pm

oh man that sucks so bad! Member of ours out here had his catch on fire but they were able to put it out. Same circumstances though, parked on top of some brush.
