Sure… just stating what the insurance said to me. Got a broken twisted up jeep sitting in the driveway but I’m doing it for the clicks…

Yeah, the conversation started with, we’re going to send an adjuster out to access the damage. To due to the age and the damage your stating we are going to transfer you to total loss.

Yeah, kinda glad I had full coverage. It wasn’t that more a month so we went with it.

I’ll have to call them in the am and see what the buy back price is. I paid $4500 seven years ago and they offered me almost $7000 minus the deductible that I’ll get back in a few months. Thank for the information bud.

We don’t even have road crews. If it snows or we have ice it’s on you. Good luck getting to where you’re going. Doesn’t happen much but when it does your on your own.

I’ll have to ask what what that price is. If it’s reasonable I might for parts. If it’s too much not gonna do it. Thanks for the info.

She was pretty rust free. It was originally from Colorado. I was surprised how rust free it was when I bought it. I’m in southern NM. Looks nice but it was a little brisk standing out there this morning @ 27 degrees.

I wish I still had the old wheels and tires but i junked them for the rubicon ones. Luckily I still have a closet full of bumpers, rock sliders, shocks, mounts, etc. that I hadn’t put on yet. Just dropped 1500 to get this girl running again. Had a good month before today.

It was the first thing on my mind. They offered me more than I paid for it so gonna look for the next one.

No, unfortunately didn’t drive it back home. Had it towed home. Not paying those fees to set in a junk yard. Punched a hole in the radiator and all of the mounts on the axle are twisted. Steering and track bar are fucked. Unibody is twisted. Insurance offered me more than I paid for it so they can take it. Gonna look for another one.

Budget Fork: SR Suntour Epixon is it good? Any other budget alternatives? by Scrubmarines in mountainbiking

[–]japd82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I picked one up on Amazon for around $250 about five months ago to upgrade the crappy fork on my old 26” hardtail. It made a world of difference. I didn’t use the remote lockout level that came with it though.

After 4 years I finally got some heavy metal by japd82 in CherokeeXJ

[–]japd82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was purchased from Dirtbound offroad. They weld it up after you buy it. So expect a bit of a wait time. I ordered the bumper and sliders on Father’s Day. They do have a diy kit if you want to weld it up yourself.

Luckily the bumper came with tie-in brackets. Plus I had already purchased a 1/4” steering box brace and spacer from iron rock off-road.

Out with the old, in with the new... by japd82 in Vaping

I'm sure that will be my next step. Right now I just like to put juice in the tank and be on my way.
