Glad all are safe. Also good to know a JK can take a hit from an Avalanche and walk away. I have my kids with me all the time, so this is a comforting piece of information. Thanks for passing along.

Glad to hear that the family was not hurt and the jeep will live to see another day.

If your jeep is still under warranty and you want to keep it. I would advise against taking it to a jeep/chrysler/dodge dealer to get it fixed. If you do, everything that breaks the dealer will say that it is because of the accident and the insurance company will say that it is not... Just added headache to an already bad situation.

Glad to hear everyone is okay. Been through the hastle myself with other vehicles. As many others have said... a vehicle can be fixed or replaced; people can't.

Glad the vehicle protected everyone!

I got hit twice in my bright yello TJ and both times I was stationary and both times the vehicle that hit me had serious damage

Only damage I ever had was the other cars fender was so mangled it hit my right rear quarter of the tub and made a small dent
