Default ARCTIC jku totalled! What should I replace it with?

I was cut off and had a near head on collision with a Lexus truck. I loved the Arctic but now I'm thinking maybe a Rubicon?

Sorry to hear that and assume you are OK.

Did Insurance total that? I'm sure there is more than I'm seeing, but it does not look to be all that bad considering. .

Wow, hate to see limited editions die.

If you can, I would say upgrade to a Rubicon if your favorite color. You shouldn't have a problem. Plus you'll love the added feature of "Incase you ever need" the lockers and D44 front.

Yes the ins. company totalled it since the frame was twisted from front to back. When I 1st dropped it off the body shop figured around 12k done. When they stripped down the front they saw the frame damage and where the frame attaches to the floor was damaged, the bolts that hold the two bent backwards. Sorry for the novice explanation

I'm planning on a Rubicon but I'm not sure what color to get. I know I want to put 35's with black wheels and 2 1/2" lift right away.

Buy it back from the insurance, they'll prolly let it go for way cheap, then put some work in to it
