It's looking good.

It went back to the body shop for finishing touches last week. Should be back to me on Thursday or Friday.

I get a second round of cervical injections Wednesday so I should have some relief from neck pain and headache for a few days to enjoy getting it back.

Good luck on your recovery mate. We can always get new metal, but human body parts are harder to come by.

Take it easy on the mods when you do get it back too. Back pain is a bear to recover from and typically takes a pretty long time. Don't aggravate it by getting carried away with the pile of mods you've got standing by. Pace yourself.

It’s looking like Friday is finally the day. Body shop will be done tomorrow and I would be able to pick it up then, but there is something loose in the rear suspension so it’s going back to the dealer tomorrow for them to torque everything again and make sure everything is solid. Fingers crossed that it’s something minor.

This has been a pretty interesting thread to read through. Hopefully Jeep Only does you right and you can enjoy it soon. I like to window shop their inventory every now and again since I live in vegas too.

Everything is completely done except that the body shop apparently ordered the wrong fender. Dealership manager was literally looking for a fender to pull off of a new Jeep on the lot, but didn’t have any black texture finish fenders.

They ordered one express that should be here tomorrow around 11:00.

It’s been a frustrating day. Didn’t get Jeep back and my neck and head have been absolutely killing me even after having injections a couple days ago.

So a lady ran a red light and smashed me and my Jeep a couple months ago. I thought the pics of the frame replacement process were interesting, so I thought I’d share. I’ll post more as the service guy sends them.

ETA: Added a couple new pics from today. New ETA is Tuesday.

10/14/20 Update: Engine, trans, new axle, suspension, etc. on new frame. Body dropping on this afternoon.

ETA: 10/19/20 - Finally back to body shop tomorrow for last bit of work.

that's a serious business you had to go through but surely worth it

It’s back!! Aux switch for a-pillar lights is not working, but that’s the only issue I’ve noticed so far.

One with the tube doors. Its driving great and aside from one or two very minor things, all seems to be like new.

Some meth head rear ended my brand new Rubicon. Steel bumper and tow hook took most of the hit, but looking underneath I have some frame damage.

How are things working out for you since your frame replacement? So far so good? How did you address diminished value with insurance?
