I was VERY surprised they allowed him to have such a high reserve on that truck. The seller was pretty proud of himself and the truck.
Yeah disappearing and not answering questions when you're trying to get top dollar is a bold strategy

Is this s trend or are the reserves too high? The last 4 of 5 did not sell at their reserve.

For that kind of reserve money, BAT should have insisted that the huge BL gaps be filled in....Duff's makes really nice filler units that do just that and IMHO looks so much better.

And hey look, there's another Coyote Bronco!

I mentioned Duffy's bumper brackets in that listing yesterday so hopefully people will begin to use them.

Someone painted a 35k Bronco and got 82k for it. Just Wow! Even with the rattle can interior, engine bay and lack of detail it brought serious money. Get it while you can I guess.

Yep, I couldn't believe it! It seems like many of these bidders just really don't have the knowledge to know what they're looking at other than a fresh coat of paint on the exterior. Unreal this one went for that much, while the Denver Edition a couple weeks earlier (which was much nicer through and through) was bid up to the same amount.

Good eye! Totally missed that!! You going to point that out?
I wasn't going to but Im glad he addressed the damage with more pics last night. A good body guy might be able to fix this without messing up the paint. Those tires are clearly too wide but this is the main reason I rolled my fender lips for more clearance. I don't know what I would do if that happened to mine.

Still can't understand how these LUBERS get built with too big of tire with too big of wheel with incorrect off set. Hitting a speed bump or pulling into a driveway will easily make tire to fender contact. Fixing that damage will entail paint work for sure, as the paint is clearly cracked.

Another lift inch and 10.50 tires would have done a world of good there

I think it's called the builder , "didn't do any research", doesn't know anything about suspension travel", or "doesn't care".

It's all about creating something that will sell because it looks good.

It's about tire size, wheel back spacing, and fender well mods!! I'm up to my fourth tier wheel combo now :)
