Mikes_Jeeps's 1999 Jeep TJit dosnt look so bad with the hood open kinda
It looks like it was hit in the driver side fender well and then rolled on to its side. The transfer case was split in to three peices and the axle is bent a little.

after two weeks of it sitting up in G.A. we drove up there to pick it up. Let me tell you driving 18 hours on a saturday isnt the best thing to do.

Finally after sitting for two weeks we got to start taking it apart first we took off the bad fenders

After we got the fender and other things off we noticed that the frame was bent so we took it the ferman a local dealer/bodyshop where they measered to see how far it was off and bend it back in to shape. But after trying to measure it they couldnt cause it was so far off
So we began to get ready to change the frame so we took the body off the frame by hooking ratchet straps to the garage truss

we have know taken all the parts off the old frame and have replaced it with a frame from and 05 wrecked jeep thats frame was srtaightingable. we got an axle that is also from an 05 that has 10 miles on it were putting my ring and pinion in it so the gearing is right with the back witch is 3.73
we got the body back on the frame an began to get the body ready to be pulled
