I'm also glad to hear you're okay. I HATE drunk drivers with a passion and have ZERO tolerance for it. I'm glad he was picked up.
It's amazing to see how well the Jeeps are holding up after horrific accidents.
Drive safe!

A drunk driver killed my sister-in-law. Can you believe he's out on the streets?
A few months later, he and his father were street racing, got into a crash and killed his father. He's still out on the street. Money and lawyers can get you anything.

What a story. Hence why a rear steel bumper is probably one of the best buys a jeeper can purchase. I'm sure you know already, but just a reminder, your rear bumper is bent forward and get your tailgate checked and of course get your entire suspension and drivetrain checked, very thoroughly.
Glad your okay.

#1: Glad you're ok... and glad they got that guy.
#2: Easy to put my bumper in the "investment" category after hearing stories like these. 1/4" steel on the Rock Hard setup.

Glad to hear that your ok from the wreck, I diffently would have drug the SOB from his car kickin and screaming and beat the hell out of him. My wife and I got rear-ended from a drunk driver 4 years ago, lets just say the cop just was driving by and saw me getting out to beat this guys butt, my cuz was killed by one the year before and she was pregnant at the time. I don't understand why anyone would want to drive drunk...
