Repairable-Write off!!

[Vman]

Well it's official. The insurance payed out in full a while back and left the TJ sitting in front of the house for the past 2 months!! So I am thinking there might be a deal to be made here. I called the insurance and asked whats happening with the wreck thats been sitting and rusting in front of the house? They said oh we forgot about that. For $6500 you can buy it!!! WHAT??? Tell them they are dreaming!

Should have said you owe me for storing it for you for 2 months! Please have it removed ASAP!!

It's been de-registered so to get it back on the road would mean a full repair plus fix the mods to be able to pass the pits!

Parts needed (2x full doors and windows, hood, windscreen & frame, L&R fenders, roll cage, flares, door and windscreen hinges, rear quarter panel repair, front L&R below the Jeep logo by door hinge bent in wards, full paint job, mirrors, etc) not to mention items lost (snorkel, bikini & header, spot lights and other bits and pieces) plus potential mechanical issues.

I guess they think I was going to make an emotional purchase!! NOT! see you at the auction and lets see how it goes!

Can't see it reaching anywhere near that price as there are no body parts (excluding the tailgate) left for resale and all the mechanical parts would not be worth the $6500 for 2nd hand resale.

But It would have been a great place to start the comp TJ build!!!!!

You should strip it, stock it out and give it back.
I'm sure there are ppl here with bent control arms that could be donated for example

What actually happened to the TJ if you don't mind me asking? Rollover?

Goodluck with it Vic!! It just sucks that it happened in the first place but such is life !

Haha Cal, I would think the Dana 30 ARB locked with 4.56 and Dana 44 with same would be gone today, oh and the 6 speed!! But i think that would be illegal since I don't own the wreck

Joe, yes rolled on to the roof. A true "Roll me over if you can read this"!! So "Gang" the bar has been set .
I hope I get over the paranoia I have now! I am not comfortable leaning on the drivers side. Need to get over that before I get to the Jambo !!

Wonder if anyone would notice if someone were to come around and steal the rear driveshaft Yolk?

Sux to hear it was written off but there'd be a lot of good gear in it for $6500.

That's my point. They own a wreck with a transfer case, does it matter that the transfer case is standard or a modded one with an SYE? Not really, it's likely to get crushed anyway..
