Accident Woes

[prariepunk]

I got hit on Dec 18th after another 2 car accident decided that it needed a 3rd.

Well, the collision center quoted my insurance around $9k to fix. I got the breakdown of costs & I was shocked at how much they have my stock oem "step pad" or slider listed for. $2610 just for the left side slider. I feel like somebody's pockets got lined. The collision center contacted me & said that the sliders are on national back order (I think that this style only came on the Recon edition JK/JKU Rubicon) & that they're going to reinstall my "damaged" slider because they don't see the slider being shipped anytime soon. Personally, I don't think my slider was damaged in any way & all I do is smack them on rocks & trees anyway. I reached out to my insurance & asked to just be reimbursed because for $2600, I could buy much better sliders... or a lift... or a roof rack...

Man, that's a bummer. Did the frame take any damage, or just the door / rocker?

Just the door/rocker & some interior pieces. I saw someone get t-boned & the guy that got t-boned was knocked out & rolled into me at about 25-30 mph.

I was wondering how that car hit you with its butt like that.

Wow, thats crazy. Luckily you didnt get hurt and, even though its expensive to fix, its really not bad damages to the jeep. It just sucks to go through all that
