Your Jeep looks pretty good compared to the van. Your Jeep is repairable just check your door, hood,windshield alignment before and after repair. Also get a frontend alignment done also

A few years back I was T-boned by a dump truck in my 14. Insurance fixed it, and it looked far worse than that. Jeeps really hold their value. Insurance companies know that.
The only thing would be hard to see by looking at it would be a slightly bent frame.

Based on the panel gaps (the hood and fenders), i was thinking the same. Hopefully not the case.
This is what I see that's a little worrisome, and gives you every reason to check all your gaps when the work is done- look at how wonky the door hinge is:
i really hope they fix it even if its bent.The dump truck bent my frame a bit and they fixed it.
They will go with what cost less. If fixing is less than totaling it then a fixing they will go.

I wonder, if it is in fact totaled, do they (insurance) permit you to remove some aftermarket items from your original Jeep? I recall when my Ford was totaled, it had new tires and a recent tuneup. The insurance gave me a hefty check so I was happy with what I ended up with, but I sure missed that Ford and was bummed about the spanking new tires being a loss.
i would have to check!! but im praying its not totaled
Looks like the Jeep was a lot tougher than the minivan.
buy it back if totaled. Spend the $400 - $500 to have it put on a frame machine. I had 2 done 1 truck 1 TJ.
