Sway bar mounts on both sides and upper control arm mount are toast

I prefer to call 911 because I only received 9 Mcnuggets in my 10 piece.

The police took 8 McNuggets into evidence.

3.5 hrs away... and your point is...?

my point is that I'm a nice guy, but I'm not nice enough to spend 7 hours on the road away from my family to go spend 15 minutes looking for problems on somebody's rig that can probably be found with a few photos or video.

Do you ever wheel with the sway bar connected? Wonder if a tire could have grabbed the bar?

No pic of the shock shaft exposed? That is the one I want to see the most.

Take a picture of the shocks.

I think a little more description of how you play with your jeep is in order here. Perhaps some high misalignment joints and sway disconnects are in order.
Did you jump airborne the front end? The crystalline appearance of the sway bar mount would indicate the damage happened very sudden.

This is pretty interesting. I've never seen the upper control arm snap like that. Usually the mount tears off the axle housing.

There's quite a bit of paint rubbed off the bar on the passenger side, and off the frame on the driver side near the PS box.

Shocks bottoming out, forcing the axle to rotate was brought up by others. By measuring the amount of shock travel and comparing it to distance from the lower hockey pucks to the upper cup would tell us if the shock bottoms out before the bumpstop.
