Default JK vs. Chainlink Fence @ 45mph.

So...last week I kinda had a fight with a chainlink fence at 45mph in my Jeep. All damages were covered under insurance and no one was hurt; BUT here are the pics to show the damage and then the repairs afterward...and the lovely fence after I hit it.

Great repair job, minus they didn't put in the aftermarket side markers, (yet they did the Supertop NX and running lights just fine)

Moral of the story, keep both eyes on the road.

Lol, yea, it didn't look too bad until I saw the estimate Thankfully insurance took care of me. But actually the accident happened upon exiting a corner. I was distracted just long enough by a low flying airplane at just the wrong moment and ended up leaving the road in a hurry. Also it wasn't dry. it had been rainy all week and the road dried off but the grass was pretty darn wet.
