Default Hit a cement divider last night with the jku

Hit a pot hole and tire blew out. Front drivers side tire was gone and had no steerin so it threw me into center median which was cement.
I have a ton of damage to the front end.
Axle bent
Control arms screwed
Shock tower damaged
Slight frame damage
My question is do you guys think they will total the jk. ?
Or repair it
And I'm open to hearing your opinions
If it were yours would you want it totaled or want it repaired ?
Thanks in advance

Frame damage is usually a automatic total flag.(usually, but not always)


And if it were mine, I would want it totaled. This incident will go onto the carfax record.

Since it wasn't someone else that going to have to pay for the damage I'd say total it out. Jeeps seem to hold their value well so you should get a decent Pennie for it.

It is up to the insurance adjuster, and not the op. I have seen worse not totaled. I'm glad to hear that you were not hurt.

Yeah. That's the most important thing that someone else or myself weren't hurt. I have aske a few buddies and they say the same to total it. But I'm just not sure what happens to all the mods if they do total it. Do I get to remove items or do they take it as is ?
