aight guys.. after jumpin my JK.. and putting it to the test in many other ways.. 26000 miles of rough riding.. i hit a flippin concrete pillar in wally world parking lot today.. in the beautfiul blind spot offered by my hard top i didnt see it.. i need a new fender.. new bumper.. new upper driver side control arm.. and new license plate holder..
anyone else have any of these unfortunate mishaps to share? help me feel somewhat better haha..

 

opportunity to upgrade

 

Backed into a sign in a parking lot last spring. Wasn't a hard hit but still managed to put a slight crease in my wheel rim. Had a co-worker with me so it was a little embarassing.

 

 

very true.. but im a broke college kid who has no money left lol.. after the purchase of the jeep and the few mods i have im broke lol.. insurance is going to sky rocket..

 

Upper control arm???

If it is the stock arm, you should be able to pick one up cheap from someone who has gone to adjustable CAs.

Checl the For Sale subforum. There seems to be a fair amount of members in your area.

The rest is just cosmetic.

You must have smacked it pretty good.

 

im right there with you on being broke and at school.

backed into a telephone pole one night 2 summers ago, put a nice dent in the passenger side corner crushed the tail light and dented the crap out of the bumper. except for the tail light it still hasn't been fixed lol

 

Lost control on black ice in my '99 Tj and hit a tree straight on and wrote it off ..... this was 2 years ago , and now I am awaiting the arrival of my 2010 Rubicon Unlimited which should arrive within this month

 

i want to do all the work to it.. im not a fan of having other people work on my JK.. or any other equipment lol.. but im not sure if the insurance is going to write a check to me to fix it or if they will want a "trained" person to do it haha..

 

If you are lucky you can get a check. For what some of the stuff costs you can get a nicer after market bumper ect for the same price
