Ugh, don't do this! If an adjuster finds this out you are F'ed. They can and will run the VIN. Even if it is negligible to them regarding payout, its blatant fraud, as you are making them pay to replace things you are not replacing. Taken to an extreme, its like if you took the engine out and replaced it with an old Chevy crate engine so you could enjoy the undamaged asset they paid you for.

This makes everyone's insurance go up when people do this. Sure, the bumpers and aftermarket stuff, yeah. the stuff that came from the factory they are making their assessment on, don't do it!
Never said this advice is for everyone. 🙂

Just think of rape and pillaging these insurance company do to you the moment you buy a car.

If you lived in BC, you know what I’m talking about.

YMMV.

We recently got rear ended by someone going appropriately 40 mph while we were sitting at a red light. I am wondering if anyone has gone thru this kind of damage and want to know what you think if they will be able to repair it or is it going to be total.

Bent rail , from what i see, frame shifted from the miss alignment of the tops ...I would think that the steering wheel is of center too ...though u don't mention it. Sad . .. this is the reason I don't dish out on too many mods. I think u won't be happy even if they repair it. The crappy bumper that jeep makes didn't help much either. There should be more impact protection on these things

Probably a little xtra ..I doubt they cover that for free
My state farm agent had me send in receipts for all mods. Total is $20k of mods. No Increase in premium. Said it's covered as long as I can prove it's still on the jeep.

That sux... honestly with the frame damage i would hope they just total it. Specifically with the body and everything being misaligned now. It can be fixed but at what cost? not to mention if you want to trade it in or resell it will harm you the value.
