Fair enough.
Does the Gladiator count?
In my opinion .. Yes , not a Wrangler.. but; I won't hate on them as much ;) just a little :giggle: because its still a JEEP, just the ugly step brother

No kidding see how long that thread about the Bronco is? Personally, if you gave me a Ford I would sell it for a FCA product.
I would be right there with you brother !

The way I understood it, is how many will trade in they're JEEP for a BRONCO when they come out, because they are the next cool thing
Definitely not me.

Getting back on topic...Has anyone heard from @American Jeeper to see how he's doing? I'm anxiously waiting for some first-hand info about the situation.

Got back from Moab yesterday, and here is what I know. During a trail ride on Sat, the trail leader stated that the lady was air lifted to Grand Junction, and has undergone two surgeries on her leg thus far. Both tires on one side of the Jeep ran over her leg, so her leg was ran over twice basically. It was never “amputated” or partially. The leg is at this time, still intact. The people onsite of the accident, were able to bandage her, and take good care of her. So, hopefully the two surgeries have been successful, and things keep tracking that way. But thus far, there has been no amputation. Still a long way to go I’m sure. And not saying that a complication in the future won’t require an amputation, but not thus far.

Ok, so do we have an official report on the well-being of the bystander who was hit? What I've seen sounds positive, but I've not seen a strong source yet. It sounds like it was her ankle and that things may be better than was originally thought or speculated.

Thanks for the update! Now I'd love to hear some good news about @American Jeeper .

One more quick note that I just remembered too, the trail lead said that her life was never in danger or threatened. So, that lead me to believe, it was never a partial amputation or otherwise at the accident site.
