I think almost free means you need to show up and pick it up, maybe bring him some beer. The only "damage" I saw was the alternator housing was cracked but it was on the corner of the jeep that took the brunt of the impact. The engine was running when we pulled it in, and the radiator wasn't leaking, nor was the fan in contact with the radiator. Other than being a little greasy the motor appeared to be in good shape as of yesterday.
