I'm in Coffs Harbour, hence Jeeps'R'Us. I'm no expert, but I think repairing a chassis is a very different thing from repairing a unibody, all the folds and layers are where it gets its strength.

I've made another attempt to contact a smash repairer in town that claims to be into restorations. If they say they want to see it then I'll have it towed in and see what they say. Last ditch effort....

That's excellent advice, I'll try to find a good body shop for the second opinion. I'm preparing myself for the worst, but still holding out a little bit of hope.

He suggested Jeeepart in QLD, but mentioned the freight might be a barrier. Also suggested I put it up on a forum for $5k. Will see if I can get anything out of insurance. Still drives pretty well,...

Yeah, seems like a pretty major flaw with the airbags. I always felt it was a bit clunky when bottoming out on offroad 1, but I've got a special case here. But if having it raised is all it takes to...

Cheers mate, got some thinking to do. Can't see myself doing a whole bunch of wrenching on it, that stopped being fun for me when I was a younger man.
Can't really make any plans until I find out...

I did over the weekend and it seems pretty clear that they're not interested in mechanical faults, but you're right, it may be worth a phone call. I did notice that it covers damage done...

I've sent an email and some pics to Jeeps'R'Us, hopefully they'll get back to me tomorrow. For now I'm going to enjoy my Sunday afternoon and pretend my Jeep doesn't exist.

I honestly don't know it there was a single cause or it just slowly sheared out over time. It certainly hasn't taken any hard knocks under my watch. I also have no idea what condition that particular...

Yeah, I kinda suspect that this might have started before I owned the car, I've only had it 2 years (still got a year's worth of payments on the f*%king thing). Even now it still feels fine to drive...
