XJ got totalled
happened a few weeks ago, Sitting at a red light when a young girl was late for class, said she looked down at her phone the looked up as she hit me, said she wasn't wearing her seatbelt either. I bought it like 6 months ago for $500 & put maybe another $1k into it, her insurance gave me $4,304 for my jeep, & I got to keep it. I just finished up my medical claims, happy its pretty much over.
2hours before it was hit, messing around with my friends kids at baseball

Sorry about the accident but a really nice new XJ and the best part you have the old one as a parts Jeep like everyone needs that owns an XJ requires.
I would leave it at that height also, I'm old and mines at 4 1/2"'s.

that's great you got a new jeep and all, but in all honesty, that hitch, or should i say leaving the hitch in the receiver is what caused all the damage, rendering your jeep a total loss.
but none the less, enjoy your new jeep and having a parts jeep is always a good thing.

It's the same in IL you can't have them in. I mean you can have them in because the likely hood of an officer stopping you for it is low. But in the case of an accident and the hitch was a spot that was hit you will be lucky to get as decent insurance offer to replace the vehicle
