An old man (84) used his Buick to hit my 92 XJ Laredo in the parking lot at my sons work. The Xj has 190K miles, new 30X9.50 BFG At's, 2" lift, an alarm and a new Alpine stereo and speakers. The jeep was in great shape except some paint fading. Anyway, The old mans insurance gave me the jeep and $2300. Pretty fair but the jeep has a salvage title now. It was hit on the right front wheel/tire. The damage appears to be the right front fender, the bumper, the fiberglass piece that has the headlight buckets in it,the grill and the wheel. Possibly the tracbar joint at the frame end. I spent one hour Saturday and took the fender flare off, the inner wheel well liner out and the fender front backet off. I was able to pull the fender out so now I can drive it. I didn't see any obvious damage to frame, (measurements are square) radiator, steering or sway bar. My delema is whether to fix it or just drive it until I can replace it? What do you guys/gals think. Please ,I'm not parting it out.
