Well, I guess it was bound to happen eventually.....the daughter crunched the front end, thankfully no one was hurt.
The TJ runs and drives fine. I am mechanically inclined and will fix this myself, that said I am new to jeeps. The jeep actually got hooked under the bumper of a Lexus RX350, we had to let the air out of the jeep front tires, stand on the bumper and raise the Lexus with some dolly jacks., fire department helped !
It does not appear there is anything structural that happened, in fact it appears that a new right fender, grill, bumper and bits should get it looking straight again, could that be? It appears fender and grill just bolt on. Am I missing something?
I am looking for some advice here on how to go about this and would prefer to leave it stock........ I am thinking about trying to find a used black fender and grill, is that overly optimistic or hopeless? If so, I guess next best would order new parts and have them painted. Are the aftermarket body parts of decent quality?
Has someone gone through something similar recently and can offer advice?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
