Bad day for my LJ

Considering most non rubicon LJs are listed for around $15k (or more) with 100k or more miles, that is not an alarming price if the frame is not damaged.

Real question is how much are they offering to “total” it out. If anything less than $20k, I’d ask them to find an equal replacement with similar miles in lieu of a cash offer. I bet they would increase the offer after a request like that.

My experience is that you have to bring the comps if you want to complain about the offer. The first instant I could manage after I had my accident in the Postal, I was printing off completed eBay sales and anything else I could find to give them.

Dennis Collins just did a video on insurance and jeeps.

You spelled “did a Black Mountain commercial” wrong.

He didn’t even mention that you have to check with your insurer about off-road use for any stated value policy. Just because they write it doesn’t mean they’ll honor it without weaseling out by claiming you violated the “no off-road use” restriction.

:ROFLMAO: There's one in every crowd.

You obviously don't know how it works.

Many stories out there of antique stated value policy claims being denied when they realized it was a modified Jeep.

Glad to hear your mom was ok and the other driver. Insurance companies never want to settle when you make out. Hope it works out. Did your mom get checked out anyways? She should. Good luck that's a great ride to keep if you can. I Jones about selling my 2004, but hated the auto. Drove me nuts. Six speed next time.

What ever happened to the damaged LJ? Did you end up buying it back? The new one is a prime example of the LJ. I have never seen that color before on one. Had the sun rider in mine, loved it. So easy to pop that one open. Nice looking Jeep you got there mister.

I have an LJR in that same color. That color green is not on the 06 brochure, but my window sticker calls it out as Jeep Green Metallic, IIRC. I think it is a standard 2007 color. Rare indeed, great find!(y)

It almost looked like the 2015 tank green, my favorite Jeep color. I painted my 46 that color and plan on painting my new 46 that color.
