Now I feel a vibration when I am in park, reverse, or just starting out in drive. Any ideas of what's causing that? It seems to be more when I'm in reverse

I'm a firefighter/medic, I see tons of wrecks, looks cosmetic. Take it to a collision shop have check and see if the frame is twisted. Doubt it is. How fast were you going?
Tell the shop about the vibration too.
Keep us informed! Good luck.

The vibration doesn't sound good. I got in a pretty bad wreck in my old TJ. There was of course lots of visible damage (much more to the Honda Civic that hit me...), but it was the hidden damage that surprised me. Broken motor mounts, stretched hinges, stressed metal, etc. I would definitely get the Jeep checked out, specifically the vibration. Your insurance I assume has collision and not just liability. If so, they'll pay for it. Get the check and get a new aftermarket badazz bumper!
