When my Father owned the Cherokee before selling it to me a mid 90's Accord rear ended us on an off ramp doing about 20-25 mph..... we got a barely noticeable ding in the rear bumper and the Accord ended up with a folded hood, both fenders wrinkled , a cracked plastic bumper and the XJ with its rear wheels off the ground.
Putting it in 4WD got us off the Honda with damn near no damage unless you examine the rear bumper closely... The honda had to pull off the road and wait for a tow due to both headlights being smashed and a cracked radiator.
Also some inconsidrate moron backed into me while I was parked at work. I got a slightly bent rear bumper with a lot of green paint smeard on it. Took me less than an hour to remove the bumper, hammer it back straight and reinstall it. Judging by the red plastic shards beind my Jeep the hit and run driver at least lost a taillight along with a badly damaged bumper
