My mistake on the Bronco estimate. Turns out that was just the initial look and now State Farm has given them the go ahead to tear it apart and dig deeper. So still could end up a total loss. And apparently my Bronco is worth less than I thought (or they are using the lower end of spectrum as...

Yeah but if it gets Ford off their ass to stick a V8 into the Bronco I'm all for it.

Perhaps you should go buy a 4Runner then.

Built on the Canyon truck platform

What they are doing is lowballing the estimate to get selected for the repair. Then will do a $$$ supplement after repair is locked in. My body guy rarely had to do a supplement.

After our accident on Wednesday, my wife had been hurting more then I thought was normal for a seat belt bruise. So yesterday I took her to the bigger hospital in Show Low (pop 15K plus thousands of tourists) to visit the Urgent Care. Well the empty UC told us she had to go to the packed ER...

Your body shop wasn't any good then. Over the years I've had multiple cars require body work and the shop I used back in CA was always spot on with their estimates.

Had you kept the vehicle your payout would have been less. Which if you need to pay the loan off might screw you. As an example, on my (long paid off) 07 F350 it was $32K to give them the truck or get $26K and keep the truck My body shop guy told me that no matter what do the buy back as he...

A "murse"

Looks like they will be able to fix it. Estimate was $20,373.52 of which $500 is my deductible. According to KBB that is a few grand under 50% of its value Only fixable since air bags didn't deploy or that would have put cost WAY over 50% of value Though I still have to review that as the...

In both pictures the tires are pointed straight ahead. and parallel to the frame Driver's side Pass side

How do the light blue pieces mount to the dark blue frame? As I said they are pushed way over towards pass side

The frame horns are bent pretty far. The mounting hole of the drivers side body mount/crash bar mount is pointing almost straight forward and the pass side is pointed into and touching the tire

How far back to get into the frame? Everything behind the grill (intercooler, ac condenser and radiator) is toast as well.

Despite my not being a fan of the decoration, the Stroppe does offer everything I would want in a Bronco and I have a lead on a very lightly used 2025 for $10K discount over new.

Or they had orientated the PPF on that door in a different direction from the rest

It's why good body shops will repaint the entire side or even entire vehicle and not just a single panel

Any hoops required depend on state and insurance carrier. For my 07 F350 all I had to do after the repairs was get it inspected at a California State certified safety inspection station. After which Stare Farm insured it just like any other vehicle with no increase in my rates. Also not all...

This is a daily driver and not a dedicated trail rig so no time to spend rebuilding it. Plus I'm only 10 payments into the note so need entire loan paid off After I got another close up look at my Bronco in the tow yard you can see the damage is worse than it looks in pictures. The front...

I have NEVER had that happen That is why you carry underinsured/uninsured coverage. Just have to be careful of the fine print. For instance in California you have to carry at least twice the coverage of the underinsured driver for your policy to pay. So if you carry the state minimum and the...
