Was involved in an accident on Friday, actually surprised how well the OEM Jeep bumper held up. Oncoming vehicle came across two lanes of traffic hitting me in the front, drivers side and pushing me into a car to my left causing the damage to the front passenger side.

Your fault or someone else, dont miss driving 128 could tell some funny stories back in the day.

You need a new steel bumper, more armor :)

Add more photos and info into the original post.

Not all that bad. Good chance to replace the bumper with something else.
Agree, just waiting to get the appraisal done.

Thought the same thing, can't wait to have it gone over with a fine tooth comb. If it's not a "total loss", which will be tough given it is a 145 days old, 2020 JLU I'm goint to try to work with a local Wrangler aftermarket shop to see if the have recommendations for repair shops that deal specifically with Wranglers.

Someone else's, driver was cited at the scene. Oncoming car came across double yellow and two lanes trying to get into a parking lot. Unfortunately I was in the second lane and they never made it because of the Jeep.

I am not a fan of the OEM bumper but imagine the damage if you had a shorty bumper on your jeep. Ouch.

The more I look at that first picture, the worse it looks. The driver side wheel does seem to sit further back than the passenger. I'm not a collision expert but I wouldn't 100% say that's frame damage. The suspension/axle definitely appear to have shifted. Hopefully it's not frame damage.

Alive, yes. Alright, maybe in a few weeks/months once I'm healed up. I do thank god that my 2 y.o. son was not with me at the time as he has been with me for almost all outings or as he says, 'go for rides' during this whole Corona pandemic.

I guess all right is subjective, lol. And fortunate the little guy wasn't there to get hurt too.
