That little Jap POS car did that damage?
You will be surprised. Seen trucks with crazy lifts get taken out by commuter cars. We are not driving tanks but essentially shells on a frame so I am all for steel bumpers and nerf bars/Rock Rails. Appears OP benefited from the Rubi rock rails too.

Keep in mind, huge battleships can be sunk by a single torpedo :whew:

this is why i gave up motorcycles-i refuse to have someone on a fone hit me because they were texting or "looking at their gps"-at least in a jeep you can survive their inattentiveness-
Shortly after my son was born I sold my bike.

Nothing else before was able to stop me including the rear kicking out on a turn and sliding into a ditch, I got back on and rode home with twisted handlebars, dented gas tank and wearing ripped gear. :D

This unfortunate incident gets me thinking.

I wonder--especially since the MOPAR spare parts market's not much established yet for the JL, what would this rig, or say a new one, be worth in spare parts.

I'd guess the largest figure we could calculate would be well North of 6 figures.

OP: this is just going to be a blip on the radar for you looking back--not to minimize your loss, and mental/physical trauma. Get better.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you fully recover from your injuries quickly. And I hope you find yourself back in the cockpit of a JL soon! It definitely sucks, but you'll get your new Jeep, and it will be a HUGE milestone when you pass that 510 mark! A story for the grandkids some day.

Glad your OK. RIP Jeep, may your good parts live another day.

These kinds of wrecks are why I will never ride a bike on the road.

Glad you came out half way decent. Jeep is metal, you are not. As soon as you can, go back to dealership and get another one. You know you wanna...

Were the off-road pages working? Asking for a friend.
Ha ha, honestly I didn't even know about them until after I posted. I do not recall seeing any offroad related icons on the 8.4 screen when I was setting stuff up., I know the inclinometer was in the gauge cluster but that's about it.

It sucks that an advertised feature is being removed/pushed back until 2019. Has anyone from Jeep chimed in the class-action thread?
