Tactical Bacon Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Well, I think the fat lady is singing for the Franken Heep today. Rolled it into a ditch today and crawled out under my own power. Officer said the roof should have collapsed and squashed me (I'm 6'3"). Bent the front beam tube, the gearbox is leaking, and I'm fairly certain the pitman arm got bent, too.

Tactical Bacon Posted July 13, 2017 Author Posted July 13, 2017 It'll buff out , glad you're alright.Yeah, just won't take me anywhere at the moment. The hunt for replacement transportation starts in a frantic state. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
Pete M Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 looks fine to me. :yes: seriously, just beat the roof back into shape. I mean who wants a pristine wheeler anyways. :) but I may not want it for a daily driver...
Dzimm Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Wow, glad your OK but a sad day for Franken heep for sure. Like stated above, beat the roof out and keep driving it. Also I'm a little confused as to how you could bend the pitman arm before anything else. Throw a new tire on it, beat the roof out, inspect it thoroughly, and take her for a spin.
cody4359 Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 I'm a firm believer in no seatbelts, the roof was on the headrest, I crawled out and went to work the next day butter that I just lifted it and it saw 1 dirt road lol. if your around WA, there is a guy parting out his 97+ swap and has a cab for 200 bucks I think Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Won't steer to the left more than an inch or two past straight. And I just took a quick look so the pitman may be fine. I didn't really have fresh steering components handy for reference.
87Warrior Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 I have a good top half of a cab in Kansas if you want it. Everything from the bottom of the A pillar, over the roof, down past the window over to the rusted out cab corners is good and straight. Glad you made it out okay! The Jeep did its job to keep you safe.
jeeppapa Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 A loss of an MJ is a loss for us all. So glad to hear that you were able to crawl out of it. Hope you can get your hands on another soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In other news, I managed to find a 98 XJ at the start of August and all I can say is the Lord blessed me beyond measure with that.
Tactical Bacon Posted September 8, 2017 Author Posted September 8, 2017 The new XJ in question. 1998 Jeep Cherokee Classic with 224k miles, power windows and locks, a/c, and pretty much everything except for power seats and 4wd. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
