pretty much same story with my truck, cept i got hit by a camry, and the front crossmember was screwed. my frame was pretty much straight, but the front xmember was toast. the guy who fixed mine welded up a new lower rad support, xmember and pulled the frame a little, and im still driving it today. good to know you didn't get hurt though.

It went in to the body shop today, I got all my own new body parts and radiator supports. Just need them to pull the frame if it needs it and straighten the inner fenders and assemble. I have a feeling I'm going to go for the all primered black look. Can't afford to have the whole truck sprayed and the bed has it's share of dents anyway.

Your truck is looking pretty sweet. X2 on making lemonade out of a lemon. So what kind of mods you do when fixing it up? I see a snorkel and new heavy duty bumper. I may "borrow" some ideas for my '93

The old flares are out sitting in the garage. Front left one is pretty mangled, passenger rear one has a crack in it, other 2 are fine as far as I know. They were always too big so the accident was a good excuse in getting the smaller ones. The bumper is a warn I got from truckcustomizers.com. Yeah the club name is a bit odd but it's not just jeeps and the people are good company so whatever. Plus I've lost count how many times it has pulled out Jeeps

Beaniam-
is there anyway that I could get you to post, or pm, a picture from the side of that front bumper?
Kinda like this:
(borrowed from corey's old site)
I'm just looking for a reference to see if it sticks out more than an ARB, from what I can tell, it looks like it does,
How do you like the Warn bumper? It looks ( . ) ( . )

Yes it sticks out pretty far. Isn't an issue with the type of wheeling I do so I didn't really care, plus it houses and protects the winch nicely.
Here you go I just went outside of work and got a pic

cool, thanks for the quick reply, yeah that sticks out way more than I could tell from any of the other pictures I've seen of that bumper. I think the advantage that the Warn has over the ARB, is that you can use winches with integrated solenoids with the Warn bumper, at least from what I can tell so far.
Yeah, all the pics from the places that sell the warn ones look like they are trying to hide how much it sticks out, like this one:
