Which dealership are you working with? If it's Show Low Ford you might wish to drive a little further south to Oro Ford in Oracle AZ as their prices are generally much better. No dog in the fight other than was not impressed with Show Low.

What was broke or what was the repair costs?
Though I haven't seen a final estimate of either beyond the initial that was used to justify tearing into Bronco further.
My insurance paid out $50k and change, which after note is paid I'm getting a bit over $5K back into my pocket.

What was the total damage estimate the shop submitted to insurance? If you got one, was interested to see if you wouldn't mind DM'ing me a copy. Not a big deal, just like seeing what other shops write to help improve how we do things in ours.

Sorry I didn't get a copy of the estimate that resulted tn it being totaled.
Part of it might have been a possible supplement during repairs after I told the shop about the issue I had installing the body lift and that they might need to replace the captive nuts. The factory had REALLY torqued the body bolts down TIGHT. I had been pulling threads just removing them by hand with a ratchet. I got the lift bolts in but wasn't ever going to try and pull them out after that.
