Sorry that happened dude, glad your ok and your jeep looks great. Maybe can get a new frt and rear bumper outta this? Pay the difference for an upgrade. Don't think they'll be able to polish out the scratches on em. I know you said your not worried about them, but they weren't there before the accident. I'd forego the paint scratches and get new bumpers. Probably cost about the same anyway, they're gonna have to paint that whole side to match anyway.

Default I see more Mods in your future.
That's just horrible luck . . . . I thought I was the only one things like that happened too. I am glad you showed restraint with her.

I too would have her insurance co. cut me a check to replace all damaged items and repaint the door. What you do with the money is up to you. I would replace the bumpers with the aftermarket variety.

I am glad everyone is OK . . . to include your Jeep!

Glad everyone is OK.

It is funny how well the JKs, especially lifted ones, survive accidents - one of the reasons for my 4" lift.

I think you need to have an emergency scratch sale with BIG discount on those 2 rims once you get the money from her insurance.

I have seen worse rock rash on a Jeep after going down a trail. Looks like it held up pretty well.
