Got in a wreck today
I got in a wreck today. And since everyone likes seeing the awsome carnage of a wreck I have pictures. Long story made short is, it was her fault, she ran a stop sign. I went into the ditch, took out a sign, and almost flipped. The Jeep was still running after the wreck. Hers is totaled with about half the engine in the intersection.
My damage that was caused by her
My damage that happened when I took out a pole
Her car - the thousands of peices that were all over the road.
We are all ok, definaly could have been worse. I was going about 50 before I
hit the brakes. Definaly glad I got the ARB bumper, it stood up well against the other car with only a few scratches and a little extra paint.
To make a short story even shorter, I won.

Good to know both of you are okay, but WOW! Looks alot like the other one that happened before where the guy was in traffic and the person had no time to stop and decided to get into the left lane and ended up hitting him and the Jeep took most of the damage to the tires and wheels. The bumper will definitlely be fine though. Huh, I guess ARB Bumpers really are that good. I still like LoD more though. Is the ARB bumper plastic?

Not quite, the mounting bracket to the control arm is almost sideways.
I'm supprised the bumper held up so well in such a violent wreck. Definatly made a good decision on the ARB.
