Had someone pull out in front of us speed limit is 60 its a bad intersection and i was running about 50. Totaled her car Toyota something, the jeep is at the body shop being checked out. Overall very impressed wife had some minor bruising from seat belt son in back totally fine and my knee was already sore. We were running fully naked top down no doors. It bent control arm and some other stuff in the suspension I turned and hit on drivers side as to keep impact away from wife and son the best I could so front tire took a big hit with no obvious damage to tire just shoved all back 6-8 inches. Just thankful we made it out ok.

Dash Cam window was dirty but you get the idea whats going on

You're mistaken. Haven't you seen the JL's horrible crash ratings? You are severely injured. Embrace our victim society, you are surely a victim and should sue FCA, the other driver, the highway dept and your kindergarten teacher.

Seriously, glad you're ok!

That sucks, but vehicles can be repaired/replaced, but looks like it faired really well. Glad to hear everyone is ok. And in your favor was that you had the dashcam.

Why in the hell does he need a lawyer?
I got T-boned once and the asshole tried suing me through his insurance company. I had to get a lawyer to prove he was at fault so my insurance wouldn’t go up and so my rental would be covered . My car was getting repaired for over 3 months due to parts shipping from overseas. My passenger was also hurt so my lawyer was able to get him compensation for his lost days at work.

Your Jeep doesn't look that bad after such an accident! I'm shocked after watching that video that stuff wasn't crumpled up front. Glad you aren't hurt bad.

Wow, glad you all are relatively ok. I hope too the other driver is ok. I hope they were on their phone (again hoping all are healthy) to add to the evidence that texting and driving is stupid.

It did have the stubby rugged ridge factory steel clone. Body shop said we could sub any bumper and just pay difference in cost. That being said I like the look of the poison spider bruiser. There were no options out when we got the first bumper. Any input on front bumper options?

Thank you everyone with the well wishes!
