No sure yet if the insurance company is going to total it out.

Thankfully she knows better. She lost traction getting on the interstate and spun around across 3 lanes of rush hour traffic and hit the concrete barrier.

At least she didn't she didn't take anybody else out. She found out the hard way, how fast she can't go while zooming in on an entrance ramp in the rain. I see raised whites on the tires, curious what kind they are?

DANG - and a Renegade to boot!
Glad she's OK - I saw an accident yesterday in rural Pennsylvania right in front of a school. Dodge Dakota was engulfed in flames with a Ford Contour in the t-bone position. I think an elderly man rolled the truck on the wet road and it ended up nearly on the hood of the Ford. According to teachers at the school everybody got out of the vehicles before the fire started... :blah:
Back to your Jeep... I think it will be totaled. That right front corner is pretty dinged up and insurance companies don't like to repair and straighten unibodies of vehicles that age. ***** - looks to be in really good shape otherwise. Keep us posted.

Ya that really is a bad day. Glad No one was injured.
I would like a close up of those tires.
Where the rubber meets the road= Dont use All season radials on any jeep.
So what model /brand of tires are on your nice Renegade?
It appears reparable to me, how is the other side? Got a pic of the driver's side?
Was the driver's side damaged as well, or mainly just the front?
I would take what ever money you can get in repairs and have at er, if it's doable.
Forget the stock front bumper, now is an opportunity to get a real steel bumper installed, looks like a passenger side fender too and some straightening work +.
I would have the Jeep better than new soon. :gr_grin:

A set of Mastercraft Coursers that either the previous owner or the dealer installed. They were new when I bought it several years ago and I was actually getting ready to order new springs, shocks and tires to put on in a couple weeks.

Thanks! I just saw it up close and personal for the first time in the daylight today. I think they'll total it out too.

There's damage to both sides on the front and the right rear. The tires are Mastercraft Coursers and were put on new before I bought it and I was getting ready to replace them with something more aggressive along with the front and rear shocks and springs.

She's doing better today. Had her seat belt on but surprisingly the airbag did not go off. I try to get some more pics and post them up.

Thank goodness she is ok. That is a miracle in its self hate to see a jeep go like that but there are plenty of libbys in the sea of jeeps. I did the same thing in my mitsubishi montero 2002 except i was transitioning from 90-94 to i55 south its a long right turn and this guy was taking it too fast and drifting closer and closer to me. I then in avoidance of him hit the wall first the front tire blew out then the back then slide on the wall going nearly 60mph. They wrecked it got $4600 went and got my libby for $5500 never looked back.

She wants another Libby if they total this one so the plan is to find another one preferably with the Renegade package.

Many insurance companies will find you a similar replacement vehicle instead of a check. With their buying power and search capabilities sometimes they come up with some pretty sweet finds.

Ahhh yes, flooring it with an Automatic Transmission in the rain learned that lesson when I nearly took a truck out myself in my earlier years. One of the reasons I have a severe hatred of Automatic Transmissions. That's why I stick with Manuals, more power control when you floor it in a higher gear at lower rpms it won't down shift to give you INSTANT POWER. Allows me over time to graft that power into harsh conditions and get up to traffic flow, and not worry about getting ran over before you have to merge.
Also, I've begun to take note that in many wrecks, not just Jeep or Libby's in general but different manufacturers across the board Air Bags are not necessarily deploying. It makes me wonder if Second/Third Gen Smart Systems are not up to spec like they should be.
