Happened one of the times we went as well, but we live one town over.

My last hope for taking the Bronco was crushed today, so the trip just got a lot less epic.
Maybe rework your plans… stop off at folks places that already have theirs and go for a ride with them. Granted, no one is gonna wanna let you drive after seeing what you did to yours.

The route is set in stone because everything is reserved and paid along the way.Maybe rework your plans… stop off at folks places that already have theirs and go for a ride with them. Granted, no one is gonna wanna let you drive after seeing what you did to yours.
Beyond that, I think I need to forget about Broncos altogether for the next couple weeks. There's potentially bigger problems looming with it besides the botched trip so I'm a bit dejected.

Enjoy the roadtrip. Obviously not how you wanted to do it but it can still be epic. Hopefully you will get good news when you return on your Bronco.
For your day in Nola, think about making a reservation for lunch at Commander's Palace . Not only will you have the best meal of your trip there, the .25 cent martinis will help in dealing with the pain of your current Bronco situation. Don't forget to check out Lafayette #1 next door before or after your lunch.

I sucked up a massive rock above the tire which trashed the brake system.

No haven't seen that one yet. I'm jumping to worst case scenario here, but there's a non-zero chance it gets totaled over firewall damage. They're saying the booster got shoved up and may be affecting the alignment of the push rod.

Find someone with an identical model and have them measure level / angle of the booster itself compared to yours. As far as totaling it - with the values these things are ar right now, I doubt it would be totaled.
Regardless - good luck.

Yeah I've opened a claim.
I'm told there is no recognized procedure to fix it and a body replacement would be required. Personally I'd bend it back into place and add reinforcement, but Ford can't.
