Just because you find you can do something doesn't mean you should, modern cars aren't made at all like older cars, once the safety devices are defeated you have no line of defense. It isn't made like old cars, it sacrifices itself to save you instead of just being a tank that will kill you but look fine once they hose out your brain. There is no reason to endanger the drivers life here, and sure if he doesn't crash and if some damaged part of the front end doesn't give out at highway speeds and decide to finish off the jeep and the driver than it can make the drive. BUT taking those odds are a fool's gamble. I'm young and reckless and I wouldn't drive it anywhere but onto a tow truck, it's a new car with full coverage, get a rental you should get reimbursed, keep the receipt as proof and let insurance do what it's there for. OP you are lucky so far but don't push it, your life is worth more than having the jeep back home at the moment. There is a good chance the frame is bent and it could very well be totaled, so don't drive a death trap around regardless of some old timer telling you how back in the day no one gave a shit about safety, things are the way they are today because of mistakes of the past.Just cut the airbag off, and do a little test drive, around the area. If everything handles normally, drive it home. Just be on the lookout for strange noises, or steering issues. . Really people, how did you ever survive, without airbags, back in the days. I remember when we didn't have to use seatbelts, and we got to ride in the bed of trucks.
