Offroad went wrong

So today me and some friends decided to go offroading and for the first time ever it went all wrong. As I was coming up a hill I slammed the gas pedal thinking it was more to the hill and oh boy! As I flew like 3 seconds on the air I realized there was no sand to ride on and I ended up slamming the jeep front to the ground. At first I think it was okay but when I took out to pavement I noticed the front tires where inside out and when moving the jeep made cracking noises, I think I might end up messing up the front differential since its leaking oil and cause of the fact that the tires are looking inside out. I also noticed the hood looks asymmetrical to the whole body. Any suggestions on how much this might cost to repair? They also told me I could ended up messing the 4x4 as well..

From the pictures it look like axle is bent. Around 1500-2000 to replace. The side shots of the jeep fenders looks like a bent frame. Insurance may total out jeep pending on cost of repairs. As far as cost.... Thousands. Insurance will total it out if the cost to repair it is higher than the value of the jeep.

Axle is bent, and since you have a Sport you would have the Dana 30 axle which you would be able to find on craigslist for like 100-500 in good condition.

Other thing that might be worth taking a look at is if your frame is bent.

Hopefully is just that.. in that case all I need is to replace the front differential right? If its just that Im planning on getting Detroit Lockers Differentials.
Gotta do the whole axle. And Lol I would start wheeling it a bit more before you get lockers that can get you into even more trouble....

Take a CLOSE look at pics #2 #3 #4 it clearly indicates the frame is bent upward, that is why the hood is moved forward and there is a gap at the bottom of the front fenders.The bent axle is the least of your problems.

Well Im gonna tow the jeep to the mechanic today to get the final veridic. Thanks for your help I think the body frame might be bent a little and for sure a new axle. I'll keep you updated on the progress and the cost of it ddc4edde1e

Yeah that Dana 30 is gone but like others on here sad you can get on on crageslist for 200- 750 an then take that to a body shop to have the frame looked at an if it's bad you can get one from a junk yard for around 100 or so. Hope you get that jeep back on them trails!
