Was driving down a neighborhood street when a 16 year old girl in her daddy's Range Rover ran a stop sign and slammed into my 2000 XJ. Luckily she hit me right behind my rear axle so I wasn't flipped or anything. Here are some damage pics







Anyways. The damage is technically fixable except for the fact that my cherokee is being eaten alive by rust from the bottom up. So I'm just going to take my check that I get and buy another instead of having this rust bucket fixed. The adjuster never considered it totaled so I get to keep all my parts I put into that jeep.

Kind of exciting actually.

 

that sucks, glad no one was hurt. its nice that you can keep all your parts.

 

pics of the girl and her daddys range rover? wonder how it held up since your damage doesnt look half bad for her running a stop sign and all.

 

Well I don't have any pics of the Range Rover. wish I did cause my rear bumper basically ripped the entire front end of it off. It had to of done quite a bit to their engine. Fluids were leaking all over the place and they couldn't get it into reverse. They had it towed off the scene while I drove home

 

That realy sucks dude. She was probably text messeging instead of driving. Seems like every young girl a pass these days are looking down at there phone instead of up at the road. Glad to nobody got hurt.

 

Damn that sucks man! Glad everyone is alright, though if you feel any new pains or odd in any way, dont hesitate to go to the doctor!

 

Glad you're okay! Wrecks are never fun, but at last you get to keep the XJ. If you're gonna get a new one, just turn the wrecked one into a trail rig. Or you could sell parts and make some good $$ off of it. If the XJ you get doesn't have the 8.25, do the swap, same with the seats if it's a 94-96 that you end up getting. Anything under a 2000, take the intake manifold off the wrecked one. Or you could go all out and turn it into a Cheromanche! The possibilities are endless with an XJ!

 

That sucks man.. I hate dealing with insurance companies. I hope they give you a fair amount for your XJ.

 

glad you were able to drive home from it wrecks are always scary! it makes me love my xj even more knowing yet again they stand up to everything and take a major beating but keep driving along!!
the wrecker should make a great trail rig comp cut with the comanche mate'n process would be fun to do either way

 

Glad to hear you were okay the XJ made it out pretty well.
Man that things looks rust free if it was coming from OH!!

 

Happy to hear your alright. And I swear some people should take an IQ test before getting there drivers lisence...sorry about the xj man. Whatever you do next good luck, and as stated before, definetly go see the doctor if your feeling any whiplash.

 

So I ended up getting a little over $3000 for it. Almost positive I will be getting a new Heep. I really really want a 5sp instead of the auto that I have now. This xj was my vehicle to not have a standard tranny and I miss it.

And yes I am fine. And considering the speed at which she hit me (approx 35mph) it could have been a lot worse. I was hit in probably the best place possible. I ended up spinning about 270 degrees.

 

That sucks man! Atleast your ok! Wanna sell me your rims?

 

It can be fixed. Got about $250 and 20 hours into my repair.

 

i got in a wreck in mine about a year ago, some lady ran a stop sign and i t boned her brand new toyota camry, luckily it was her fault, i totaled her car and i drove mine home, the cop asked me if i wanted a tow truck, i took one look at it then looked at her car and said i dont think im the one that needs it and he laughed, these things are tough little beasts haha

glad to see your alright though and that it will be replaced
