Re: How to Destroy a Jeep
Most any serious roll will do damage in the $10k and (way) up range. If
the air bags pop, that is $1k right there. The problem is that a roll will get every single body pannel, not to mention the windsield frame and glass, trash a rim and tire or two, etc. To repair the body pannels to 'like new' is expensive. Repainting a single scrached door runs $400 around here. I susect that many of these would be totaled by the insurance company and then either parted out or rebuilt to a lessor standard. I've looked at a couple of totaled late model TJ's selling for less than $5k that had less suspension damage than some of the rockpile warriers do on a weekly basis. If you are going to go out and run it hard off road, why start with a $25k vehicle and add goodies? why not start with a $5k vehicle and add the same goodies as repair parts? One TJ I looked at needed front suspension arms. If you plan on putting on the long ones, why pay for something that goes in the dumpster? My usual sources did not have any Wranglers on file but here is a typical Jeep 'repairable' These are the 'list' price, deals can be had. http://southside-auto.com/06742.html and a non Jeep http://southside-auto.com/06971.html Troy wrote: > So how much money does it usually take to fix a jeep that has rolled like > that?

Re: How to Destroy a Jeep
video - see Bill's post.
it cost my insurance over 8K in body work and stuff, including a new top. It ran me over 4K on the engine, would have been less if I gone with a new engine.

Re: How to Destroy a Jeep
You got it.
They were going to total mine until I sent them the 3 page itemized list of aftermarket parts and upgrades.
