today a good friend gave his life fot me

[Andy in Pa.]

Andy I squeezed my fat ass out the back past the tire carrier after turning off the motor. I saw smoke and wasn't going to wait for fire. I was suprised that the air bag went off. If you look you can see where I drove Up the side of his car.

LOL!!! I saw that busted out back window and was wondering if you got out that way. You fit through there??!! Amazing what adrenaline will do!! :clap:

Glad you're OK. Just make sure you get your back checked out thoroughly.

Big X2 here, I have a few friends that were in similar accidents, and ended up with major back issues by age 40.

I bet your a bit sore today, if you haven't tried Aleve, it works pretty well for muscle-type sores.

glad your ok...shame this happened was a very nice lookin xj

 

[bert01xj]

I am very sore and the painkillers are not helping. I just did the waterpump clutch fan and hoses also the t sat.

 

[sheepjeep]

holy shit, glad you are ok

 

[Kingkong0192]

Glad you're ok man. Jeeps are replaceable although missed.

On a sidenote, you can see just how shitty rough country quick disconnects are in this picture.

They're the only thing i can visually see broken in the front end.

Build party when your ready for a new xj?

 

[xcalibur223]

Glad to hear you're ok Pete. Hopefully a lot of it will be salvageable.

 

[STROKER]

WOW...Glad you are ok, X3 on the back issue, I had an accident a few years back injured my back and it comes to haunt every so often....


STROKER

Hey , now you can say "yeah my last cherokee ran a car over"!

 

[bert01xj]

Wife drove me to see the jeep and I can't believe I am alive and in as good of shape as I am.

 

[xjrick94]

Damn!!!!!! Glad that you're relatively ok.

wow thats bad man, my rollover was at a higher speed and it didnt look that bad....your hard to beat thats for sure....

 

[Hammered]

not much left on the body to salvage, you managed to squish the whole thing.

(Thats my xj color too)

 

[Andy in Pa.]

Wow Pete, that's something how the roof buckled in the middle like that. I would have expected to see the front edge crushed down, but not folded like that. Maybe the hit from the side was enough to tweak it a little in that direction, and the weight when it was on its roof bent it the rest of the way. Interesting...

Your right, it looks like you should have been banged up much more.

 

[bert01xj]

Andy I hit them with the front I think it because I landed in the ditch.

 

[D.I.T.A]

Glad to hear your all rite man but that sucks about the xj hope a lot of It can be reused.

 

[OverlandZJ]

Wow... glad to see your ok.

Look closer. Looks more like the bolt broke that holds the disco mount to the sway bar not the quick disco its self. compare to the other side everything is there, the sway bar looks really tweaked so that would have been enough pressure to snap the bolt. It's just a standard bolt not RC's fault there.

Ok back on track, glad you are ok. Wrecks are never fun. Been in a couple myself but always landed on all 4's. hopefully the kid has good insurance if any at all.

 

[bert01xj]

I am a little pissed my wife doesn't want two parts jeeps in the backyard. Looks like the Clayton's trac bar that was won at last years nac fest is gone. I may be able to get my rims tires and rear bumper back.
