Will they be able to get the stains out of the driver's seat or did that have to be replaced too? :crazyeyes:

Glad your jeep saved you!!

I've been on the highway south of Houston and seen a tire come off a big rig and that was scary enough from a distance!

IT'S ALIVE!! Great thread and follow up on the progress of the rebuild. BTW there is no hope for the stains on the upholstery. Those stains are like cat urine, they have a half life of 20,000 years.:yup:

WOW!!! Glad to know the Jeep stood up to the test when it comes to safety!!! I bet that eight weeks were long, I couldn't imagine being without my Jeep that long. Glad your OK and you have it back together.

Congrats on getting your Jeep back!!! I couldn't imagine if this happened to mine. Looks like they did an amazing job though. :thumb::rock:

Thank you all!! It felt like years waiting for it. I really never want to go thru that again, It took at least 10 yrs off my life. The Jeep really held up good.:standing wave: I was surprised on how well it turned out. Its a little funny I fractured my wrist and torn tendon in my arm, from the impact. Weird! Looking forward to get'ten it dirty and seeing you all out on a trail.:standing wave::standing wave:
