Default Well. Made it to 16k miles before something happened to the jeep :-(

Today while driving around town it started to rain very hard, turned to hail. Completely peppered my hood and a/c condensor through the slats of the grille. To make matter worse in a feeble attempt to find cover under a steel awning the back end of my jeep got ass raped from the hail as it was coming sideways! WTF, so...now I have damage all over the jeep.

Any aftermarket condensors worth getting? I know my cut rate insurance will not put an oem one back in, so maybe I can have the body shop order an extra heavy duty one or something?

I agree. Jeep salvage yards will more than likely provide what you need - hood and all for a lot less than new. You might want to try to google "jeep salvage" or something like that. I am on the east coast and there is one in Four Oaks, North Carolina, named Eastern Automotive and one in Salem, Ohio named Davey's Jeeps. I have bought from both. There is also one in GA, but I don't know the name - they are everywhere though so be vigilant in your search.
