I already asked him how much his insurance company wanted for it.

If and when I build something after Pain Train, it'll be a tube chassis buggy named Dumpster Fire.
I'd like to do one and call it dumpster FIND.

I've owned salvage vehicles that I restored. Frankly, I didn't get full coverage for them. Liability was the same as any other vehicle of it's type.

For collision and comprehensive my company will not pay 100% of ACV for a claim on a vehicle with a branded title. Most carriers have the same stance as we do.

I'm often occupied, by many things, often at the same time
Hate to say it, this^^^.
I tried avoiding another vehicle and tagged a wall at 1mph, cost $1,500 in paint. USAA tried to claim it was a single vehicle accident, so all my fault. I said, a vehicle pulled out in front of me while i was doing 5mph on ice, so decided not to hit them. Bad mistake. Took a year and two sworn affidavits from my wife who was passenger to convince them, not my fault.
Whose fault was it?

Sorry to hear! And I'm glad your wife is ok!
I worry about stuff like that since we live on a mountain at 7000'. So I kinda worry when my wife takes my jeep out, lot of cliffs and bad drivers, also deer coyotes and bear.

My JK was rear ended last year, and insurance actually paid me for some of the mods. I tried removing ad much as I could, but wasn't able to sadly. Mostly took my sound system stuff.
I was a week away from buying new tires and suspension. Whew!

Please let me know how much your insurance company wants for the totaled Jeep.

Sucks this happened and glad everyone is alright.
Finally got the answer last week
Totaled and 8k buyback!
I’m not sure if they’re going to cover the axles and lift cost yet as my contact is out til new year
Also not sure if I want to stick thousands more into a salvaged title getting this road worthy again
