Default Jeep vs. Ford Edge

Well my fellow Jeepers last night we laid one of our own to rest.... but took a Damn FORD with it!! Wife was going through a GREEN light and a 17 year old thought he could make the turn instead of coming to a stop and WHAM! Totalled both vehicles.... the Jeep actually ripped the engine block of the Ford into pieces which explains how the frame of the Jeep got bent and twisted. I'm quite impressed with the Jeeps ability to take a front impact, and for this I say thank you to Jeep. Because of this quality and highly rated front impact my lovely wife and my 8 month old daughter (who was in the backseat) are safe and sound. The Jeeps can be replaced (oh and it will be ) but our loved ones can't!!! Also the other driver and his passenger were ok aswell. Be safe out there everyone and I hope to see you on the trails again real soon!

Glad your family is safe, along with that kid.

Can you salvage any thing, like the tires and rims

Brutal man, sorry to hear, but glad your family is okay, that's all that really matters. I'm sure it won't take you long before you're back up on the mod horse.

Glad everyone is ok. Its too bad that the frame is bent. Doesn't look like too much cosmetic damage was done
