Anything can be replaced. Did you try to bash it out with you BFH? Is it the back or the front? Is it rubbing the tires or anything?

i hit the tree directly on the driver side head light and bent everything back to the front part of my wheel well and ya there is rubbing the wheel wont move at all i had to hall it out of the woods with my super k with two wheels in the air haha

The inside stuff is all welded in. You might be kinda screwed.

thts what i was worried about cause there are only acouple of bolts and there is no way just tht could hold it in place but is there a way i could buy just tht inner section or whatever ?

odgreen

You bend the "frame?"

odgreen

You can get away with bashing it into place but nothing is ever going to line up right. Just a heads up. I've been in the body work business.

from what i can see now i dont believe so it looked pretty in tack somehow its looks like just the wheel well got crunched

2000XJpride

ya i think thats what im going to have to do and ya im not trying to get it perfect just back to where the wheel can move comfortably/ somewhat safely thanks really appreciate the help

Well you might got lucky. But like I said your inert apron is jacked. You can search on line for one.
You want to look up "driver side inner apron"
You also may need a core support. We need some pics to see what your really gonna need.

tht seems like it sounds right ill give it a try and be posting pics tomorrow thanks agian

Has anyone done a radio/speaker upgrade or replacement? I use my jeep as my DD as well and I would like to upgrade. Any suggestions?

head unit is easy - just grab an install kit and wiring adapter so you can just plug it into the factory harness. I highly recommend Crutchfield for ordering stuff from - top notch kits and service.

Speakers are easily up-gradable also. Stock your jeep has 5.25" speakers. Any aftermarket 5.25" speaker will just plug and play.

I personally stuck 6.5" speakers in my doors and rear soundbar - fitting them was easy in the soundbar (just a little trimming), but the doors took a lot of creative "massaging" to get them to fit.
