The end of the road for Brets Jeep

[Majo]

Glad to see he's ok, maybe if he had a internal roll cage it would have held up better? who knows, good luck getting another "disposable" xj.

New Xj for Bret already

Thanks for all the good wishes gang.
Bret and I do appreciate them.
We also totally understand the humor in this as well so don't ever think that you will offend us. Besides all the sarcastic humor builds character and gives me way more sh it to spread next time I see you guys. http://www.naxja.org/forum/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=0#

Bret found a flawless 91 laredo with 91K miles on it yesterday and jumped on it. $3000 bucks and he's driving it. He's already been working on it today.
We've decided to make this an ORGS advertising Jeep and put everything that Mark makes on it. We know that all of his parts work great and Mark is ready to help us out with it. Next weekend will be a major work weekend at my house so if any of you guys want to drop in just give me a ring or email.
Next week will be lift and tires etc. the following week will be differential work. Glad I never got the D44 in his old jeep or it would have been toast. You can't see it in the pick but the Drivers side ripped the rear spring out of the mount and bent the diff all the way back about 1.5 ft. the front end didn't fair to well either. He hit the guy turning with the front and road up and over his hood with the back and then almost went over on its right side but it landed on the traffic signal pole on the corner. Thats why all the damage ont he right side.
Bret faired well. Just sore but he did go to the hospital to get checked out.
The other guy did not have insurance so I guess Brets uninsured motorist insurance will take care of his car I guess.
Anyone ever have expierience with having to deal with you insurance comp. on Uninsured motorist?
Any way thanks again and Bret says we'll see you on Best of the West. He is working to get it ready for that.
Oh yea, We've had a great idea http://www.naxja.org/forum/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=0# We've renamed our garage, Orange County Chop Shop for Jeeps.
and we will have a new TV show called American Jeepers. We have our Paul SR. (Me) Paul Jr. (Bret) and Mickey (my oldest son Shawn) You may laugh but around my town, the Thornton men are well known for our antics. http://www.naxja.org/forum/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=0# http://www.naxja.org/forum/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=0#
Look for it on your local Spike TV station. No stickin Discovery. This is a Mans TV show.

Glad he's ok, I hope the other guy broke his neck.

I think someone needs their a$$ kicked and you should make that part of the show. Please give us preview clips.

last year i had a car hit my XJ he didn't have any insurance so my Uninsured motorist kicked in they filed under "colission" i can't spell. but instead of the $250 dect. it was only $100 and if they get any money from him i'll get my money back if you have a good insurance co it will be no trouble, at least he in NC it was. HTH

Damn!

It's good to read Bret is in good health, and that the XJ upgrade has begun.
