Holy Sh.t !!!
I seriously was showing my wife your "black Sunshine build thread" last night showing her your Jeep and how I want the exact bumpers and Duratracs. I guess this will seal the deal! Glad you and your JK or okay!

Sorry about the accident, Skippman, that sucks. Good to hear that everyone is okay. From the look of the Liberty, I would expect to see far more damaged on your JK. Your Expedition One rear bumper saved your JK's arse
Good call declining the recorded statement. Let the Liberty owners ins co. sort this out.

Wow... 
That's amazing... The front of the Liberty shows the amount of force that plowed into your back bumper! Be sure to have your frame checked - newer bumpers are designed to crumple and absorb some of the crash energy - but in the case of heavy duty bumpers like these, they usually won't give much being fairly rigid - thereby transferring crash forces to whatever item they're connected to - aka your frame. While there may not be visible damage, a body shop will be able to assess if the frame took any damage as well.
Glad to know you were ok. It's a bummer nonetheless.
