I got in a wreck today. And since everyone likes seeing the awsome carnage of a wreck I have pictures. Long story made short is, it was her fault, she ran a stop sign. I went into the ditch, took out a sign, and almost flipped. The Jeep was still running after the wreck. Hers is totaled with about half the engine in the intersection.


My damage that was caused by her



My damage that happened when I took out a pole


Her car - the thousands of peices that were all over the road.


We are all ok, definaly could have been worse. I was going about 50 before I
hit the brakes. Definaly glad I got the ARB bumper, it stood up well against the other car with only a few scratches and a little extra paint.


To make a short story even shorter, I won.

 

wow thats crazy.... yeah i bet your glad you had that bumper ... good to hear everyone was OK guess you get to pick out some new jeep parts now.

 

ouch.
glad you are ok.

 

Good thing you didnt have a stubby bumper, it would have ripped the axle out of the Jeep.

 

Sucks man... but looks like you should be back on the road in no time...

 

Good to know both of you are okay, but WOW! Looks alot like the other one that happened before where the guy was in traffic and the person had no time to stop and decided to get into the left lane and ended up hitting him and the Jeep took most of the damage to the tires and wheels. The bumper will definitlely be fine though. Huh, I guess ARB Bumpers really are that good. I still like LoD more though. Is the ARB bumper plastic?

 

Not quite, the mounting bracket to the control arm is almost sideways.


I'm supprised the bumper held up so well in such a violent wreck. Definatly made a good decision on the ARB.

 

No, it's steel, If it was plastic it would be in a thousand pieces like her car

 

Glad to hear all involved are okay... things can be fixed or replaced.

 

Dang it looks like its Lexan or plastic the way its scratched and all, but maybe thats because of the paint.
