I'm glad I drove a Jeep and wore my seatbelt.
I'm still able to walk n talk but, I'm a little slower for the time being. I can post about a dozen more pics if ya'll want.

I'd like to see it made into a crawler/trail rig but, I don't think much/if anything is still salvageable....? Still waiting on the adjuster.

The answer to can it be rebuilt is yes.
The question you really should ask is, should I rebuild it? The answer there is NO. The whole thing is twisted, not a single panel made it out of that unscathed and there's going to be frame damage. Unless you own a shop and can do things like straighten a frame, etc I'd take the check they cut you and move on to version 2.0.
A better way to go for a trail rig IMO would be to find the ever popular 2wd JK used on the cheap and build up from there.
Looking at the carnage I'm glad to hear you're ok, now take everything you learned with the first JK and put it towards making a better 2nd one.
