The journey begins again.

So about 6 months ago I was rear ended by an old man traveling at around 75mph in a 4runner on the freeway when traffic had stopped


Pics of accident and damage

Still pretty messed up months later. But slowly getting there.

Also 6 months of searching for a new xj. I have found and hopefully closed a deal on a nice xj almost identical to my prior.

I fly from PHX to El Paso tomorrow to pick her up and drive her back. * Crossed fingers wish me luck.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help with my stupid questions over the years and hopefully I can help others for years to come here.

Looks like a nice, clean starting point.

I hope it works out well.

Losing your old Jeep was a great loss so I hope all goes well with this one. How are you doing after the accident?

Right after the accident it took weeks to be able to walk again.
5 months later I've been forcing myself to be better... I refuse to be a cripple.... (I'm 30 for age reference)
Kidneys still hurt.
Bones way more crunchy than prior.
Had a tooth out that got cracked.
Doing physical therapy and chiropractic.

Slowly but surely getting better. Trying to focus on the fact that I'm going to get some type of settlement at some point. I know it doesn't equate to the health that moron took from me. but it's something....


I can't even describe how getting hit by someone going 75 feels.... loudest noise I've ever heard in my life. I can still hear the crash in my head.

Ouch. Glad to hear you're on the mend.

New jeep looks very Judging by the Laredo trim and th, "High Output" badge on the liftgate,e style of roof rack crossbars, I'm guessing it's a 91 or 92?

My Original Jeep was a 92 but made in 91.
The new one is a 91 and made in 91.
The Vin's are only a few digits apart.

My XJ has more options, but I still have it, so we're gonna Frankenstein parts here and there

Cool. Hope it runs as good as it looks.

Why not? Isn't that basically how Jeep's "Ordering" system worked? You could put any option on any trim level, if I remember right...
