This is the result of trying to swat a bee in the cab, while entering a curve. I got the call yesterday areound noon. My wife told me she the daughter was not injured, but she thought the Jeep was totalled. As I rushed to wreck site (1 mile from our house) I was trying to envision what she ment by totalled. When I pulled up, I was shocked to see this and my daughter standing there waiting on me to yell at her. Needless to say, there was no yelling just hugging. I am sure there was enough lesson learn. Still thankful that she was not injured.

The vehicle rolled at least 3 times according to a witness. There is not a straight body panel on the entire Jeep. Even the fuel door is bent. Not sure at this time what I am going to do with it. The front axle tube is bent as well.

wow, i am glad to hear she walked away...
 
Man they build cherokees well! That's looks to be a pretty nasty wreck, and for 3 rolls the cab held together amazingly well (didnt even break the windshield)...

Probably isnt much worth keeping on it..... glad she's ok
 
Yea i am totally amazed how the thing held together overall. And yes the windshield is broke as well

Yeah I've seen a couple of them hit hard, they hold up pretty well. My aunt rolled a 98 Grand, she was fine, GC was totaled. Glad your daughter was OK. Hopefully a lesson learned.
 
wow! Im glad your daughter is alright. I am going to show this to my fiancee b/c she is terrified of bees and I can envision this sort of thing happening to her if one got into her jeep.
 
my vote for what to do with it is to find some swampers to bolt on and wheel the shit out of it until its completely dead

Definately glad to hear she is physically OK. Probably be a bit of time before she quits reliving the incident. I agree on the trail only rig. Might need to bolt that rear door shut though.
 
i love that black XJ, i remember when it was for sale, i really wished i had the money for it at that time, it seemed like one hell of a deal as i remember it had a 30 and 8.25 still, if the red one has similar drivetrain i would keep all the good drivetrain parts that would be of use to the black one at the very least
 
XJs are tough as nails, my ex rolled this one at 75 mph and walked away.

Wow! Those are all wicked wrecks and I too am glad to hear all occupants are ok. Since someone already asked, I could use a couple of interior parts as well.
 
I'm glad to hear your daughter walked away for it. I rolled mine on the beltline doing 70 mph three or four roll over and walked away.
I have since bought another. Can't beat how safe they are when it comes to a rollover.
