Oh no! That's a nice looking Cherokee too! Hope everyone is safe and that repairs aren't too costly.

we were all fine, that cherokee has done all kinds of stuff. But sadly its totaled. Radiator smashed into engine and pulleys. Power steering and brakes all failed. no doors or tailgate would open..A pillar in rough shape. Thats the problem with uni bodies. But were going to swap it all into a new cherokee body.

Glad to hear everyone is ok, but damn that sucks about the Jeep.

Well steering box drilled out, but lost my tap somehow so have to get another one. Hoping to have a pretty solid weekend of getting work done. Still got some brackets to cut off and have to weld all my new brackets together. Got a new welding helmet to tackle all that..
