I've seen a lot of pictures of destroyed cherokees lately. I think they all belong in one place in xj memorium

from fender benders and trail love all the way to serious wrecks and totals
tell the story of how it happened as well

1989 pioneer. crashed into the back of a prius!



and this one. 1991 ax15. doing donuts like a jack ***





that fire was afraid to touch my cherokee badge

Haha, I was thinking the same thing. I love that picture, but man it's still painful to see every time.

My friends immaculate 2000 Cherokee sport. had around 140k and not a spot of rust. Hit black ice and slid into the back of a dakota. Looked repairable but noticed passenger side A pillar was bent and the passenger side front door was pushed about a quarter inch under the back door. Insurance totaled

Originally looked like this fuzzy picture:


Around the curve, off the right side of the road, crossed the road, rolled 3 times, smacked into the face of that creek bank and landed here:



Looked like this:

Doesn't look horrible but my frame rail was bent 70deg. This happened about 2weeks ago after my entire winter build was a week away from being finished. Some guy ran a stop sign and bam! Ugh.
