Oh dang!!! I was hoping you'd get a new motor and get back to offroading again.

Yeah, I'm not thrilled either. The dealer received the new motor and carpet this morning and was already in the process of pulling the old when insurance changed their minds. I'm already looking for another XK. I've got to get figures from them and see what I'll have to work with.
Me too. Looks like now I'll get a new car and get back in the dirt. I hate car shopping. Ugh

they paid 10 k in jan of this year when I hydro mine & didn't total it. Why doing that to yours?

That sucks... hopefully you can find a slightly used 2010 though.
Make sure you get those 4xGuard products off of there before the wrecker comes! edit: and anything else worthwhile like the mopar skids..
I honestly can't figure this out. $9558 in total damage, carpet, motor, labor, everything. Minus $1741.40 in betterment and deductible. The first call today was to tell me the check was on the way. The dealer HAS the parts on hand now, they were shipped in over the weekend. They called me back 3 hours later and said they were going to total it out rather then risk this becoming an ongoing problem with corrosion in the wiring, and because they can't assess any further damage without actually installing the new motor. I'm not happy with any of this I love that Jeep more every time I drive it. The service manager cant see it being anymore beyond the motor than the starter (which I know fried when I tried cranking a popped motor), and possibly the intake.
I did say that I wanted to go pull my aftermarket equipment. I have the choice where I can pull it or they'll include them in the payoff ( I doubt for full compensation but, I sent scans of the receipts anyway). I've never had a vehicle totaled before and not sure what the process is. They did say that we could keep it, but it would still be totaled and would need a salvage title. How does that affect it's insurance eligibility? Resale value would go to crap I'm sure. But it may be worth it to have my car back and not have to hunt for another one.

I would buy it back. It would probably cost you $5,000 to buy it back. Although in all honesty, I hate a car that is always in the shop so depends if you have an extra car around

I'm looking at getting another Commander, we'll see what the numbers are to get this taken care of. If we don't keep this one. I cant see there being further issues from this. It wasn't wet long enough to cause long term damage that I can see. (Maybe I'm blind) I'm trying to get them to reverse their decision, could be like talking to a wall though

The aftermarket list is short, sliders, lift, belly guard and skid plate. I'm waffling between pulling the sliders off or going with a Steel Armadillo set
