I would say not.....airbags are deployed and there seems to be a dealer license plate surround on it already

looking closer it looks like all the parts are in the bed. Probably bent frame and just too expensive to fix

Fair point about the license frame. But would the airbag not deploy in any serious collision, even if it was wrecked while riding on a train?

I honestly don't know. I kind of assumed it would, but maybe the vehicle needs to be turned on?

If the airbag deploys while the vehicle is not running and in park then we will be seeing a recall in the near future

Airbags only deploy with the ignition on and typically in collisions over a few miles an hour.

Because of the newness of the build the "parts" are hard to get so getting the insured another one quickly is usually the most economical for the insurance company.

It looks to me that the body shop took it apart for repairs. You can see where they cut off some of the damaged sheet metal. Once they took it apart they found additional damage and applied for a supplement. The additional or hidden damage pushed the repair past the “Total” value so they “Totaled It” and sent it to the salvage pool.

My Guess is Engine damage. Parts availability is not a problem. Only the radiator, grill and perhaps the A/C condenser are different from the JL. You have 2 model years of JL production so you have plenty of parts available.

You forgot about the frame. I'm putting money on it being a damaged frame. Right now every frame produced is being used in production so there aren't frames out there for repair purposes.

this seems prime for one of those electric conversion kits.

Mine got rear ended and pushed into another jeep in front of me. Biggest damage was frame and bed. Insurance totaled it because the frame was on a 9 month backorder. And bed was on a 6 month backorder. Long story short i got a new Gladiator on the way.
