Thanks guys!

Here's the rundown on the Insurance; vehicle purchased as a salvage (rebuilt to very nice stock condition by a pro body shop) in April of 2011 for $6500. Fully insured with Gieco. Vehicle rolled and declared a total loss July 2012. Get this, they paid me $10,500!!!! Minus $1500 to "buy" it back and another 6k in parts and whola, back on the road. Plus 3K went to XJ stuff and what not.

DMV hasn't sent me anything yet as to "reviving" the salvage title so I'm not clear what I need to do but it is still currently registered and insured.

BTW- OMG have you checked the prices of TJ's lately!!? A hood, two hard doors, grill, windshield frame and a lousy Dana 35 cost me $2800 at Rancho Jeep. I just got lucky they were in white!
