[QUOTE="FishFam JKU, post: 460010, member: 21779"] First off, WOW! Glad to hear you, the wife and pups came away relatively uninjured. As for the Jeep. If you're intent was to trailer/tow the JK and use it as a primary Exploration/Offroad rig. I might suggest straightening the frame and replacing the necessities. But if you plan to put miles on the road (which I suspect) getting to the destination, then I would hunt for a "new" rig and as you suggested swap good parts. I would have a hard time trusting the integrity of critical parts after a hit like that. And $3800 for frame work sounds low. I really doubt that one guy could pull the frame and reinforce it in a matter of 3-4 days, that's all $3800 in labor gets you. No parts or material included. Option one is a lot of work but if you can locate a Mechanics Special and swap the frame/tub. Might be the cheapest solution. Good luck on the hunt. [/QUOTE]
