So, jeep is 23 days old and the wife gets hit from a F-650 that made a basic U-turn in front of her on the driver side front fender. Bent bumper, bent suspension, hood is really bent up, Fender fell off and was put back on but cut up and broken, driver door is slid a little bit, and finally the grill is shifted and chipped well. No air bag deployment but handled the hit well. I will post pics tomorrow if I can figure out how to.

 

man that sucks. well atleast it sounds like she did'nt get hurt ( the wife that is )...did it atleast hurt the Ford a little ??

 

That really sucks, but now is a great time to get those aftermarket items installed on the other guy's dime. A new front bumper and maybe an AEV hood (if you like those) and some Bushwacker flares.

 

Glad to hear that she is OK. The jeep can be replaced

 

She's OK thats great..................
The rest sucks...........I really feel for ya bro................

 

yeah she has a bit of neck back and abdomen pain from the seat belt. Just gets me how they treated her because they went into on coming traffic then waved her past then proceded to turn right into her. She cleared the trailer and the bed and almost the truck. But they got the ticket for Illegal lane use so they are at fault. Tomorrow I get the figure on how much the damage is on the jeep. I must say the hood sheet metal bends quite easily. She will also probably be getting a MRI for the back and neck pain soon. I guess we will wait and see. And the F650 didnt get hurt and they kept pissin the cops off saying there is nothing wrong with the jeep and they shouldnt even be there and they needed to get back to work. Oh well hopefully I can post pics tomorrow and then you can see the nice 200 buck aftermarket side steps i put on last thrusday night too .

 

Pics of the front area that was hit. Note the hood has 2 dents you cant really see from here but they are both at the hinges. Also the door shifted a 1/4" which was a easy fix. However, both my wife and mother-in-law have headaches still because of the extremely hard head rests. I will be contacted my jeep dealership about these because they think they might of been knocked out for a short time due to banging their heads against them.

 

Also a side note. I am writing a letter to Jeep/DC about the extremely hard head rests as my wife and mother-in-law's heads still hurt from hitting them on them.

 

hope they fell better

 

i was in just a small rear end wreck yrs ago but still remember my head hurting from the banging of the headrests not sure if i didn't have them in the proper positioning or what. the pain lasted for a couple of weeks anyway hope for speedy recovery :sad:
