Thursday evening just before it started to get dark my wife was driving the Jeep back to the Palms from the city which means south to dam, across to CA side, drive toward Black Meadow Landing and then a 7.5 mile trip on the dirt road.
So about a mile in she comes to the top of a hill at the same time as another Jeep got there from the other direction[emoji15]
She drives very slow on that road so I know she was going only 15-20 max.....the other guy was a snowbird from South Dakota so probably not going that fast either.....they were both able to only to hit the brakes for a second before hitting and here's how it turned out......let me just say that no one was hurt...(Thank God).
Our Jeep
Front suspension was damaged, front wheel broken, suspension damaged as well as hood, both front fenders and a broken windshield.
The other Jeep
Much more damage to suspension, front axle back 3-4 inches, radiator is done and the engine looks a bit askew in there not to mention both airbags also went off.
Pretty sure the other Wrangler will get totaled as it's a 2000 TJ with a soft top.
Our Jeep which is a little less damaged is a 2006 TJ Unlimited Rubicon so not sure if it will be totaled or not.....in any case I'm really glad I put that new front bumper on lest year cuz I think it really helped keep my wife and the Jeep from totally crunching like the other one.
What do you guys think.....will it be a total????
