Wrecked

Well i'm new here and now i'm gone I guess my I let my son drive the jeep to school an well he totaled it well the body shop said it was totaled to the tune of about $8000 yeah so now i have no jeep an don't know weather or not to buy it back as a salvage pretty much the whole front clip is shot and it buckeled the body behind the doors on both sides i'm not a super mechanic or gearhead so i cant decide if i am adventurous enough to take on the endeavor of rebuilding any advice????

Re: Wrecked

Well how's your son? You can buy a new Jeep, sooner or later,(prolly later if your budget's like mine) but the son is one of a kind with no replacement parts available. If he's OK that's all that matters for now. Thank heaven if it was just the Jeep wrecked.

Re: Wrecked

You could rebuild it as a trail buggy. Just tack diamond plate over any beat up sheet metal.

Make your son do all the hard work, since he totaled it :)
