It's a Jeep party in the front and somethin' somethin' in the back. So I can't tell it's a Juck half the time anyway. Wave if you want to. Overall, who cares, the world is not doing so great...
Not quite true but mostly - Lillooet and some places are in a rain shadow so my soft top was off for months and months. But ya, here on the "We(s)t" coast, def a reality.
rolled a jl two months ago. couldn't imagine anything else. Looked at pick ups, etc. In the end I got almost the same but a year newer - and black. Everything to me just doesn't feel right. And you can't beat the community.
BOLO, that's funny. Definitely lots to judge. I had a wreck a few weeks ago. I think the fellow was more interested in sharing with the community than having a kangaroo court. But as adventurers we often put ourselves in others' shoes. Even the oncoming jeep may have had a strategy. Without...
The salvage looked to cost about 18k Canadian $. It was in such good condition that it would have been costly. apparently it started right up too. But the autobody shops wouldn't touch it. So if I was a jeep mechanic and wanted a home project this would be about half the cost of a jeep and I...
PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED BY THE GREAT JEEP MYSTERY!!! (KIND OF LIKE THE GREAT PUMPKIN REFERENCE FROM CHARLIE BROWN) I was able to get a 2020 2 door jeep black jl with 45k (not sure in miles, my US friends). Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited.
THANKS TO EVERYONE. STAY SAFE OUT THERE!!!
@Shibadog - Amen to that. Also had solid first aid kit, etc. I don't usually think about flying projectiles. Gonna keep that in mind in the future as well. Thanks for your take on things.
THE MOMENT (SOME) OF US HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR...
1. Thanks for the input. Seriously.
2. That roll bar area bent far enough that no body shop wants to touch it and the Canadian BC Insurance Co ("ICBC") looked at enough pics and declared it a total loss.
3. I looked at other vehicles and sure as...
Ok DonMontolvo - you don't need to get too bent out of shape about it ha ha. I was lucky enough in bc to buy a small negative equity policy that will pay out the gap between what I'd lose and what it takes to replace it. I'd prefer that but it depends also on if it's not a big bend. I shall...
Thanks for all your replies. In BC, the good 'ol Insurance Corporation of British Columbia will assess it. I'll report back. As for what happened, since I'm not in receipt of any payouts or plans for fixing, I'll report the actual adventure once the deal is in motion. Anti Jeep spies are known...
I really appreciate the reply! They will formally asses it. I don't know about the axles yet as it went straight to the yard and I work out of town. I'll report back. Many thanks.
Hi Everyone,
I rolled my jeep (2 times down a ravine and hit a tree) on a forest service road in British Columbia. I was lucky and it looks like the jeep struck just the frame part of the roll bar area on the left side. My question is: in anyone's experience, when parts of the roll bar is bent...
I like the clear bra idea. Another idea that I haven't actually done is you're looking at threaded bolt holes in this pic. So you could get some type of material (I donno - black plastic that can be cut to fit, can be thick, raised or whatever). But I'd put something soft under it out of sight...
That's pretty slick. This was my original post. I'll report back. So I took out my back seats and put in a dog cage that fits tight. That was a great visual deterrent but not the best use of space. I kept my sub in it. Even my friends kept asking when I got a dog. A couple of tossed blankets...
And then it dawned on me... What's the least noticeable cage in a vehicle after a cop car? Probably a dog crate (I already took out the back seat. So I'm going to put an extra large dog crate in there that is 42 wide (the back width) and about 30" high. And under those blankies and HUGE chew...
I appreciate the ideas and even tinted windows can invite a slice. I think I'll still build a frame. Extra thick plexi or multiple bars painted gloss black that kind of looks like a headache rack on a truck but on four sides. Farmers build like overkills. If anyone wants the plans let me know...
Hello everyone,
I have a soft top and it's got clear plastic. WHY DOES IT HAVE CLEAR PLASTIC. I worry that any random thing could look attractive in there. I have a hidden sub and amp as well. I'm either going to make a cage on the sides and back or I'm going to buy thick smoked plexi and create...
