How much money did you save by not replacing that tire? How's that stack up against a wrecked Jeep?
That much difference between the treads on different tires means you are pretty much rolling the dice every time it's a little bit wet and you have to do something other than going in a straight line, and sometimes even when going in a straight line.
That roof will never be crashworthy again. It might be made to look okay (doubtful, but not impossible), but it will never be strong again.
I suspect you have some serious alignment problems, if not suspension or frame damage in the front end.
Glad you're okay. Hope you don't ever do that again!
I have tires but the wife... I know the roof won't ever be the same ever again. I'm sure it's out of alignment.
Well was talking to a good friend of mine that works at junk yard and he told me that they just got one in the Friday before the accident. Same color. His boss said $1000. No engine. No tranny. No transfer case. No driveshafts. And just sitting on the axles. Gave me some story about he could sell parts individually. I said I just wanted the shell and doors. No wiring. No axles. No interior. No windows. No windows. No electrical components. Haven't heard anything back. Offered him $400.
Part it out and buy one that runs and isn't bashed in on all 6 sides. Your insurance check should help you out with the purchase...... Unless you didn't have collision coverage.
I almost pulled something similar on a snowy road while trying to avoid a deer.
Luckily I played Rush every day after school when I was younger. I got lucky and somehow anticipated that the deer was going to try and make it all the way across the road, so I steered into the side of the road the deer came from and emerged unscathed.
I think you could pick up an N64 for cheap off eBay, if you want an easier way to practice
