I am glad you will be OK. Too bad the weakness of the Jeep had to come to light that way.

I saw something like this on TV, I think Discovery or another. It was called moments of impact. This guy in a pickup was driving along a trail and there was a gate open and he didn't see it. The gate was tube steel and went through the grill and through the fire wall and right through his gut into the seat. He lived too.

Wow, that's one I never thought about. I'm glad you are OK. I won't be telling my wife about it or showing her those pictures, cause she is already nervous about going offroad with me.
