I've used the same insurance agent for many many years. I once asked him what he would do if I crashed my sports car while driving it on a closed race track some weekend. He told me he'd cover it and then cancel all of my auto insurance policies.

Wow man some of you guys are harsh i sure hope that none of you ever fuck up in your life. I mean come on I posted the picks just as many of you post them showing what happens when stuff goes wrong give me a break. I know i messed up but if you can see from the pictures the grass was low and yes I did have all my lights on and still didn't see the ditch. By the time i saw it i was looking at it through my drivers window.
I usually take my time and watch out for the hazards but i messed up thinking that this clear field was clear.
ON another note:
The insurance adjuster is looking at it and said the damages are around 12000 so far and climbing. I sure as hell hope they don't total it since i owe a little more than it is worth. It does look like they are going to be able to fix it but it is going to have more new parts than i can put in this post. I just hope they can get the parts and that chrysler doesn't have any of the ones i need on back order.
Well not to be all pissed off and all but I appreciate some of you guys understanding as to the rest of you: you know what i think:
PEACE

Wow, that was stupid, glad you're okay. Most of us have done much worse, you'll get through this. I bet you could find a lot of the parts you need around here, if you don't go the insurance route. I've got a new lift and bumper on the way, I'm sure there are a thousand others that do too.

To me I think it's all good and shit happens. You play, you pay , no matter what scale. I broke an axle in my CJ trying to bark the tires in a Wendy's drive through. Anyway, hope you get things right and brave the field once again and dominate it! Without damage of course.

Let me tell you a story about Evelyn (my cousin):
Evelyn was out one night with a few friend romping in a jeep near some river beds. Near the river were little washed out areas and wet muddy open areas not all that different from what I saw in your pics. The only difference was that the area they were playing in was right next to nice little river (not raging, not deep). It was a lazy shallow river and a beautiful night. The driver decided to put it in four high and have a little fun. Like you, they hit a little washed out area and flipped the jeep upside down in about 3-4 inches of water. Everyone crawled out of the jeep laughing and joking until they realized that Evelyn was missing. After searching for about 20 minutes, they found her pinned under the roll bar in 4" of water. The river bed was so soft that the jeep actually pushed her into the mud where she drowned. The examiner 's findings were that she had absolutely no other injuries. She just drowned.
Point is... the driver was just having some fun. He'll have to live with that accident for the rest of his life... I seriously hope he's ok mentally... Shit happens...But I'm sure that night is imprinted on his mind and will never go away.
The imprint the critics on this forum are trying to leave is nothing compared to the imprint that could have been made...

Its all good, your ok and so is everyone else... Jeeps can be replaced.
I rolled my Tj in my backyard doing 'nuts, showing off for the neighborhood kids, about the 3rd time around my TSL's (had less than 100 miles on them) grabbed and sent me for a 3/4 roll. I didnt have a belt on (in the backyard, whats going to happen) and got tossed around abit, nothing major, but couldnt get to the key in time and drysumped the motor.
Insurance company fixed all but the motor because it didnt happen in the roll, it happened afterwards. I took it to a body shop and paid the guy $75 and they changed the color, got an aftermarket hood and they took the price off my deductable. I would try to find a shop that will work with you...
My insuance went up for a couple years but thats the price you pay, "never wheel past your limits of your checkbook". We all do, even if its in the mall parking lot...
Its all good man, you'll be laughing in a couple weeks, or months, or years, or...
