i am healing well, and as for the Jeep...
fornt drivers brake line
slave cylinder for clutch
patch hole in firewall
all in all about 250.00 bucks to fix. one of the guys i was wheeling with is storing my Jeep in his backyard until the parts come in ( he ordered them while i was still in the hospital ).

Don't know if this will make anyone feel better about this or not, but I re-ran some calculations on the force of impact. Here is the link that shows the impact was about double that of a 7.62 (.308)!!! 
Glad the damage was limited to what it was!!!

That is just.. wow. Glad you're alright, looks like you dealt with some pain. Seems worthy to have this bumped up. I know I never would have considered this happening. I'd always be careful going over tree logs for fear of it damaging the Jeep.. this, no one would ever have considered. Everyone can learn something from this.

That's one gnarly accident, I'd be thanking God I was still alive. It is great to have such friends that helped you out, kudo's to them all. Great to hear that you are doing better. Let it heal before you go bouncing around again.
