Having had 2 vehicles with damage to the Unibody or whatever you like to call it, Insurance classed them both as wear and tear, did also get advice one was stuffed, in both cases I went to a reputable smash repairer, all fixed and never a problem again, in fact they were both more structurally sound than originally and when the grain truck side swiped me of course they were the first port of call for the repair, at least the Insurance covered that one for me................
You really need it to be looked at by someone who is a specialist at bent car bodies, Jeep means nothing, so a Smash repairer should be who need to see to get a proper hands on opinion, the body isn't bent/twisted so if they can cut and shut suspension towers this would be a doddle, anyway a hands on inspection is way better than a photo diagnosis........
Use a Smash Repair Shop not a Mechanical Workshop, you need someone who knows broken vehicle bodies, Jeeps are not the only vehicle with unibodies, Merc, BMWs so they aren't a mystery to body shops.
It was a spanner shop that declared my first one a wreck and irrepairable, the smash repair shop said easy peasy ... should have gone back later and showed them...
Anyway best of luck with it all, if you sell it as a wreck and its not a declared write off, someone will just rebuild it and make a monza of cash.
