2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport
This would be my Third Jeep Wrangler Salvage Re-build. Both previous one were an easy sell. They move within 4 weeks, enthusiasts "come out of the woodwork" to buy. The Jeep People LOVE the 2-door and the manual transmission. They see the value in an already lifted Jeep at a discounted price. For the seller they maintain a healthy $5k+ Margin.
Damage on this one was isolated to the right front fender, bumper and front axle and thats what got replaced. In the original Auction photos I could tell it had already been lifted. Its common for a car headed to auction for the owner to remove their aftermarket wheels and tires to re-use or sell separately cause the insurance doesn't compensate for them.

This is a great example of the poor auction photos a buyer has to contend with. Front bumper slightly damaged but still looking level. A good chance the axle is bent looking at that right front camber.
Since there is minimal body coverage over the fenders on a Wrangler its very common for the wheel to take the hit and destroy the front axle and suspension bits.
This was a very quick fix with NO frame damage. I replaced the front axle, front bumper, right front fender, fender flares, soft top, wheels, tires, and some front control arms.
Jeep People, love the winch bumpers, tow hooks, the rugged looks.
My buddy Jay Jay @ Snydillostudios took the pro photos for me.
Black Rhino Wheels are a favorite among the Jeep crowd.
Always have to buy 5 wheels and tires for a Wrangler!
I choose a conservative all-terrain tread for this build. Sometimes I drive them for a little before I sell them and the Howl of mud terrains on pavement will drive you nuts.
Note the Matte finish Gas Fill Cover to match the matte finish bumpers and fender flares.
Look at that buff paint and reflection, a detailing, and Great Photos drive the sale.
