Everyone is all right i went into shack when i looked at it after getting out and my buddy thank god caught me as i fell. i loved this jeep it still is bringing tears to my eyes. Here are some pictures.

Damn man, first off I'm glad you and your buddy are okay, like Joe said a vehicle is replaceable. Make sure you see some doctors and get some sleep. Sorry about your ride man. :(

thanks alot everyone it means a ton. and i got an up date the jeep is being cleaned out tomorrow and towed to a jeep dealer on Monday. the mechanic i talked and sent pics too said it will most likely be totaled. I will be getting cash value for it so should be a decent amount. should have a check in hand Tuesday and have a new jeep by the end of next week. Hopefully.

yah it was by the Kfc on the sneling frontage road across from har mar.

I am looking at this ZJ:


this is what he wrote in the ad, i am going to look at it tomorrow at noon. he has it listed for $3400 but im gunna talk him down.

318, V8, 4x4 overdrive 163,000 miles.
This jeep has a tow package, Tank heater, automatic sunroof , CD/tape, A/C, power everything. Dark Grey Leather seats in nice shape.
New brakes and rotors, New CV joint, and muffler , serpentine belt. New paint on hood, lower side panels, grill, bummers, rocker panels. The upper color is forest green and lower panels are gloss black metal flake. This Jeep has been well maintained and is very clean. Runs and drives excellent.
has good tires and battery. Starts no matter how cold it is. The driver side mirror is hazy, and the heated seats don't work, (could be a fuse)
Back window can be opened separately or you can open the whole back hatch.

yeah hes right .. the body panels are off of a 96-98 ZJ Black Limited, the wheels are from a WJ Laredo, and the individual letters that say GRAND CHEROKEE on the door are gone....and from the pic the rear bumper is still green..
