You really like to live dangerously! NY & FL islands! I'm sorry for your loss, glad you are safe. I'm a Miami native, chose to move west, Andrew was enough for me. Here's hoping our Bronco's get scheduled soon!!!
We raised our house on Captree Island 3' after Sandy, thanks to NY Rising. Unfortunately, we can't raise the condos, just praying it doesn't happen again in the near future. Waterfront living comes with a certain amount of risk. We still love it.
You would never get all the salt out so any pooling water later would be a rust issue and already living close to the coast totaling was the best thing. Just the salty air is bad enough. Once saw a landcover that looked pristine on the outside in a garage. Talking to the guy he say look under it. The thing was swiss cheese. Was used to go in and out of a coastal flood area. The bodies on them are aluminum but the frame is not. Funny how good the body still looked.
yeh the salt would come out. I live in Ohio....crap gets salt on it every year. Inside from my shoes, outside from the stupid calcium chloride liquid they coat the roads with.
There is a huge difference between driving on de icer and having all the harnesses and plugs being submerged in sea water for an extended period of time. Way to much tech and things to go wrong. I commend you that you would not take the pay out or piece of mind on a brand new 60k vehicle. I personally would have that in the back of my mind taking it wheeling into BFE and relying on it. Because there was mud inside meant that I am sure it was hit with waves and sea spray wind. Now if they asked me to eat 15k I would probably not total it but he is being paid full price. Not trying to convince you just stating my opinion and that I agree with his decision.
Lol, what the hell do you think they are using that for? Nasty stuff for sure.
I live in the Pacific North West toward the Cascades. We get snow from time to time. My city does not use it while the city to my west does. Huge difference in how good the snow removal is. Dammed if you do and dammed if you don't.
Seriously that Bronco will be fine. They shouldn't have any trouble selling this one. If I didn't already have a Bronco, I would jump at the opportunity to get one like this at a discount.
No, fording depth doesn't come over the rocker panel. Still this Bronco will be fine, and may be a bargain for someone to get.
Fording depth is 33.5“. Not sure what lift you have. That’s halfway up my door. The salt water being bad I can accept.
