Salvage 2 Door Badlands Gets a Second Life. Restoration & Modified Rebuild Planned

[Mudlight]

DANG!! I'll be wishing I got the 14.5's......

I saw the 37/12.00 in person and I was like nope. $293 a piece on the Blem list was a smoking deal for the 14.50's

I might be mounting the 12.0's on these "optional" Badlands rims and find something else for the 0.5" wider SAS wheels.

see, I don't even take mine out in the rain but one like this I would seriously have some worry free fun with before I fixed it up completely. GREAT DEAL! and I'm usually not a fan of salvage vehicles.

I don't take mine out in the rain either. I have a daily driver for that. My Bronco is my Man Toy. Have fun driving it and taking it to car shows!

Just like many of you I still have an order in for my "Perfect Bronco". I actually had 2 Bronco orders and let my wife get hers first (Big Bend 4-door Soft Top). My order is for a BASE MANSQUATCH 2 Door, but I was quick enough on the draw to pick up this TOTALED Bronco Badlands 2 Door Manual with LUX package for $32,695 shipped to my door. It's mileage was 2,127 when it came into my possession. I think it was "totaled" because every panel has some damage and there are multiple sensors missing/broken that deal with parking, lane keeping, collision avoidance, etc. I am hoping to use FORScan to clear those out permanently.

Edit Update: Vehicle sold by Stephens Auto Center in West Virginia on 06/30/22. This vehicle had an accident on 09/17/22 in Virginia. "Left Side Impact With Another Vehicle." Accident Report # 2022004279.

I'll probably be keeping a running tab of prices in this thread in order to keep myself from going too crazy with the restoration/modifications. It will be down to the penny because I'm OCD like that. I will also be subtracting items I may sell off in the future (Badlands optional wheels, right LED tail light, et.)

How the heck do insurance companies total a vehicle like this? I was in an accident about 20 years ago with a new car, got T-boned by a red light runner. The repair estimate came in slightly less than total, and I fought tooth and nail to get them to total it out. I ended up having to settle for the cost of repairs, but I didn't think it was worth to fix.

Why don't you take it out in the rain? I have a soft top and been in some downpours, no problem.

This site Rocks!!
I was contacted by the previous owner, Jeff, and he has the second key fob, window sticker and will even forward me the "baby picture" he received from Ford as this rolled off the assembly line. So cool.
I was also contacted by a member that wants the D-rings from the front Capable Bumper, so that helps me out with $$ since the replacement Havoc bumper set me back some change.

I will but I have other options. It just saves me having to clean up another vehicle. Wait till your 67 years old....keeping vehicles clean is good exercise but it kicks your a_s too! I have the Bronco as mainly a fun vehicle and I do car shows with it too. I also have a Ranger Tremor (daily driver) and a 2006 Dodge Charger Daytona (in show condition). So I have 3 vehicles to take care of. Oh wait....forgot, my wife never washes her own vehicle (van)......so I have 4 to take care of plus everything else in life. I do plan to do some light trails with it....maybe next Summer to go plinking.

Update: The Interco 37x12.0R17's showed up to my work today. They do look smaller than advertised measure 35.5" tall an 10" wide at the casing or 11.5" wide if I go from side lug to side lug. Definitely getting mounted on the "BL Optional" wheels without true beadlocks, so I'll scratch those prices off my build list.

Also, I moved the Bronco to my backyard to begin the work (hello neighbors!!). Here is a better look at the front corner damage. I'll probably try to do some fiberglass type repair to the grill first and if it turns out horribly I'll look for a replacement then.

Love the detail in the build haha. But I AM interested in your tail lights. One of mine cracked (I believe done during a service but no good footage to prove it). Let me know if you are selling anytime soon

I was bummed also when I got my tires. I might sell these and get some 38.5/13.50/17
Boggers.

The driver side taillight suffered some damage and is cracked. The passenger side is still immaculate. I'll ship out either one or both to you if you're still interested. Start a convo with me and we can go from there.

I ordered 2 sensors to replace the missing ones on my front bumper. Those baby's are expensive!! The sensors are also different for location. All in with 2 sensors and 2 holders was $253. I used my Ford Pass Points, but I'm still counting the money. Yes, they are on backorder due to supply chain issues which could explain why Insurance Companies may quickly say "Totaled" and not play the waiting game.

Interesting, seeing as how my knock off Boggers measure out at 35.5 and 10 across the lugs. I'd be a little miffed if it was passed off as a 37.

Oh, I am miffed. I’m wondering if the “Blemish” could be incorrect Sizing Markings……
I’m getting the spare tire replaced with the INTERCO. I can do a side-by-side measurement after that.
It’s On!!
