What are the odds that this could happen twice?!!!

Since the top is off, make sure they don’t have a cavalier attitude towards your truck, and can keep it indoors the full time they’re working on it.
Horror stories abound…

Strap that windshield down. I've seen one fold over with no top on a tow flatbed. It was facing rearward.

I appreciate the concerns. It will be inside the entire time. It was only a 15 mile trip, Mad, with no high speed backing up

and damage to boot

Odds of a bronco falling off a 2 post lift are pretty good. Here's a pic of a pretty nice Bronco on BAT that is getting ready to jump.

I just looked at that this morning and was thinking the same thing.

There is some good news about my damaged parts. I got the damaged Rampage sold and picked up locally and I am delivering the damaged tire carrier to a buyer in Missouri on my way to Texas. I may have these bent bumpers in the garage for a long time.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

It's been almost 10 months and I just now got my Bronco back in the garage! I left it with a body shop that was recommended to me around December 15th of last year. I told him that I would be in Texas for the winter so wouldn't need it back until mid-April. That's four months. I gave him a heads up as a reminder in early March since I hadn't heard anything from him. Home in April and he hadn't even touched it. There was a lot of bitching and I finally got it back July 28th. I took it right back the next week for some obvious do overs such as a hood that couldn't be opened. I took it to him stripped of all trim, interior door panels, anything that I could take off and put back on myself. He took off even more stuff like the windshield wipers and the guts to the doors. I spent 4 days of reassembly including new weather stripping. That task is done with the exception of getting a bikini top on. I plan on getting BC Broncos nice top next spring.
The transmission issue that started all of this is still not behind me. When I drove it the short 5 miles of side roads back to the body shop, I had a clatter all the way there. It stops when the clutch is depressed. That is the only miles I've driven it since they "fixed" it. It goes back to them next Wednesday. This all started the last week of September last year and my intention is to drive it to OCBR this September. Cross you fingers. I'll get pictures of finished product up later today.

Wish ya the best!!

Oops. I let my Contributor status lapse. Once the check clears I will post pictures. I did take it back to the true Wind Blue code.

The ordeal is almost behind me. The body shop and I are square. He wants me to bring it back in for a final buff after I have had it for about 5 weeks. I am going to try to get that done before I head south to OCBR. I have one more trip to the transmission shop for a final adjustment. I still need to get a good alignment, new exhaust, fix a little drip at a brake line splice and get my front diff swapped out to the new 4.88. I have identified one shop that can do it all. It's looking better than it has in a long time. I am open to opinions on my inner door panels. I think I like it's and then I think it may be too much.

Looks great Thom!!!
