Spectacular train wreck destroys Jeep Gladiators :(

[Hootbro]

I wonder how Jeep will handle these vehicles...

My money says they will get crushed. None of them having been titled first would create a administrative mess sending them to salvage auction.

@Hootbro You could be right. Easier to file an insurance claim and let them go. Shame to lose all those "parts" cars though.

Seriously a shame for folks who were waiting for those LEs. Sad.

The Carrier just bought a bunch of jeep parts

I really do not see how they could get around not crushing them. All these vehicles for paper have a "MSO" or Manufacturing Statement of Origin which for all intents is the birth certificate that has to be presented in whatever state a vehicle is first titled. That MSO certifies where it was made and and compliance to the various safety and emission standards. I do not think you can go from a straight MSO to a salvage title or would they want to pay that cost or assume the liability.

I could be wrong but this situation is a little more unique than most.

Think that is the soft top, not tonneau cover....

I dont think so... thats the same long white label I have hanging from my roll up tonneau cover.

@spenchey , was my jeep on that train?

 

[steffen707]

Shouldn't the tonneau cover remain 'locked' and closed if the tailgate hasn't been opened? Too early?

LMFAO! you're funny!

 

[steffen707]

Well, that sucks. I hope no one was hurt.

the train driver was hurt, severely beaten by JT buyers waiting for their beauties!

+1

Some years back a ship full of mazdas took dmg , The cougar ace was the name of the ship. Mazda ending up scrapping all 4700 or so mazdas, even though they took minor damage or none at all.

I agree, there are so few of these that Jeep wont miss or care about trying to save anything about this.

Does "Red" have a alibi? As much as he complained about his hot feet issue and pound of flesh he wanted from FCA, I have my suspicions.

crush em, and then make a few more LEs

EDIT: Ohh and give each of the buyers a 20% off a steel front bumper coupon. Their JTs won't be built until the steel bumper is back in stock anyways.....i mean lets be real...

Hey wait, those JTs had VINs already, so do they just create a new VIN plate with the same number, or new VIN and then have to fix/redo paperwork?

Getting mine is taking so long, I just feel for the poor folk who thought theirs was being shipped.

Now I do not feel so bad about being in JB status for the passed 33 days.

Was kind of thinking the same thing with my Granite LE, which after 98 days still hasn't moved out of C status. Pretty sure mine wasn't on there.
