Dang man, sorry to hear that... if it still runs I would just use it as a trail rig... no need for an exo cage now!

foreign bodies may have gotten into the fuel intake bits if upside down for a while so this may need stripping and cleaning and I am not sure if there is a safety device on the electric fuel pump that would operate in an accident and may need resetting.

hope you don't have more than just bruised pride. Jeeps can be fixed easily people cant.

Glad you are ok. That sounds pretty scary. Hopefully insurance will cut you a check, and you'll be able to use the old one as a tail rig.

To get her running, there is normall a switch that cuts off the fuel pump that needs to be reset. I'd check all the fluids as well. Does the engine turn over at all?

Got a photo of your jeep?

I would first make a visual check to make sure nothing is broken and will hit any moving parts.

You may have cylinders full of oil. After rolling my Jeep, I removed all the spark plugs and then cranked the engine. Oil shot 20 ft. Clean the plugs, and reinstall. Check your oil level before starting. Also, my mustang has a fuel pump cut off switch that will activate in a crash, you may or may not have one. If you do, you must reset it. I would check the owners manual.

Hope this helps, glad U not hurt.

Pull all your spark plugs out and crank it over for a minute or two until everything is out of the cylinders. Hopefully you haven't bent or broken anything trying to crank it already. Clean off the plugs, put them back in, and it should fire up. I've done this many many times...

Nice picture....well pulled all the plugs spun it over till no more oil came out, took my throttle body off pumped all the oil out of my intake. Tried to turn it over fired once and locked again.

Try taking out the plugs again and making sure you got all the oil out. Then put them back in but don't hook them back up. Just bump the engine gently. If you feel like you are getting resistance, stop.
