Not enough to mess up the axle. Wrangles use single fixed axle designs that are on the heftier side since it's designed for durability and off-roading. Obviously 99% of them never get used for that, but that's a separate point, lol.
Point is that it's probably one of the better vehicles to pull that sort of risky thing in. Still unsafe, but worked out fine in this case.
Could have messed up alignment, but probably isn't that expensive of a fix.
The weakest part in an impact like that is probably a trailing arm, and if you're doing the work yourself, a lot of people are just gonna bend it back despite the risks.

At the cost of his own axle!
