Rolled the jeep

At about 12:30am on old reading road I caught gravel with the rear and went into what would've been the best drift anyone has ever seen in an xj if I had a touch more steering angle. Speed limit was 40, I was doing about 25 because of how late it was and I knew sections of the road got iffy. Went into a counter clockwise spin, and once I was moving exactly 90° towards the right, the tires hooked up and we flopped on over at about 5 mph. No injuries, and the jeep was able to drive away from the scene after being yanked upright and refilling atf that leaked everywhere. No broken glass, just body damage. The firefighters that responded were nice enough to not break out windows to get us out or use the jaws because we already looked ourselves over and we were all good.

Wow. Glad to hear nobody got hurt.
 
Thanks for the support, the body isnt nearly as bad as I thought it was. I'll probably need 2 passengers side doors and maybe a fender in the future though. Front passengers door opens and shuts, but not quite right, and the rear wont open yet. Today the mirror fell off too.
