In memoriam of a 2004 TJ sport. Born 2004 - Died 2022 at 180k miles.
It hit an unmovable object (3ft tree stump) at around 30mph. The Jeep suffered terminal damage, including a right frame rail that bent like a wet noodle, bent front axle, smooshed hood and fenders, and a twisted windshield frame. Broke the front driveshaft right out of the diff. Decided to shed its doors in the process.
A truly reliable Jeep, off to pasture. Hopefully parts from it will help other Jeeps live on. It actually started right back up and ran fine.
My Brother was fine. Didn't even have a scratch on him. The seatbelt and roll bar definitely protected him very well. Its actually pretty amazing.
Pour one out boys.
