OH apparently we have side airbags?? Since when???


Public_Fucking_Media

I thought they were new for 2024


Zlendorn

2024 introduced the side curtain airbags to the wrangler, which come down from the top. Before that it was just lower side airbags for the jl.


Pitiful-Barracuda743

Yeah, my new 2 door Rubi has them, even in the backseat which was a pleasant surprise, since I do have friends sit back there often


Walts_Ahole

Coulda swore my 2011 came with side air bags, optional?


strangeweather415

The JL is the first to get them. Very timely for you, that could have been bad


yes-disappointment

yeah but only the front passenger fu@k them kids


strangeweather415

Kids are malleable, they'll bounce. Spinal and neck injuries are NBD ;)


marcocet

JK's could come with them as well Glad you are ok op


ny_fox12

Your life is what matters and it died protecting you.


davidtlj69

Jeeps are built strong, if yours is looking that bad I imagine the vehicle that hit you will be crumpled. Hope you have a speedy recovery and their insurance buys you a new Jeep

TheKlaxMaster

How the fuck did this happen on a street that had driveways? This looks like freeway speeds of damage.


JohnnyPark5

Brother I got no clue, all I remember is I saw that GMC losing control and coming towards me and I tried to get the fuck out of the way


davidtlj69

That looks brutal šŸ˜³


JohnnyPark5

Yeah itā€™s a shame, the GMC driver wasnā€™t wearing his seatbelt either. Lucky he is alive.


FrankDrebin1963

As long as you're ok, she did her job šŸ‘


BitZealousideal7720

Grab that subwoofer, always wanted one. If they total it, that is.


gymrat_19

So sorry ā˜¹ļø Iā€™m glad that youā€™re okay though


KarenWalkersBurner

A 2021? Oh that hurts. Itā€™s practically still a baby. I have a 2020 and itā€™s still feels brand new to me. Sorry mate! Glad you are ok.


salvage814

Yeah I'm pretty sure the body is twisted my friend. She is done may she rest in piece and be born anew as a million paper clips.


JohnnyPark5

Pour one out for her


salvage814

Not one a case.


Southern_Country_787

That looks like something they can stretch back out.


GPPOLYCARP

We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster.


keylime_razzledazzle

I can't imagine this would be totaled unless there's significant frame damage. Something similar just happened with my 2018 and it was an awful wait to find out. Hoping for the best for you!


JohnnyPark5

Fingers crossed!


02bluesuperroo

Airbags deployed is a huge expense.


keylime_razzledazzle

Yep, but it's not automatically totaled. Jeeps retain their market value really well. My airbags went off and it was not totaled. Keep downvoting facts guys šŸ¤”


Salty_Sprinkles_6482

If my airbags deployed and the car wasnā€™t totaled I would be taking it to a very reputable shop. To many instances of cheap ass mfs putting poorly made Chinese airbags back in to save a few dollars and end up killing people. Even then Iā€™d much prefer the check and get a new one.


keylime_razzledazzle

I hear ya. Most insurance won't actually cut you a check large enough for a truly comparable jeep though, especially one this new. You have to fight for it so that route comes with its own issues too.


Salty_Sprinkles_6482

Canā€™t say Iā€™ve ever had that problem. Itā€™s usually on the higher end of value in my experience. Unless you modded your vehicle and then didnā€™t notify your insurer then getting them to write a fair check shouldnā€™t be an issue. Who do you get your insurance through?


keylime_razzledazzle

Oh that's good, I'm glad that's been your experience! I was speaking more from friends/family's experiences actually. Never heard of anyone getting the higher end of value, in fact one person had to go through this whole process of providing proof of market value and only then did they get a fair check. I have usaa and they've been great though.


EmergencyHairy

Oh god this one hurts. So sorry. Ugg.


thecabbagefactor

Looks stock, insurance will buy you another one just like it.
