Just got this 2012 PPV from a county in central Oregon with 153K miles. Thought I would share some pics. (not sure why I "named" it, probably because I have to many vehicles, easier to just name them)
I took the wheels of the wife's Z-71 Burb. I get a pretty deal from a local wrecking yard so I got the center console, DIC and most of the dash trim pieces that had holes drilled in them for $150.
I stopped at travel center during the drive home, when I was leaving a guy backed out (brand new Explorer Limited) in front of me, I hit the horn and stopped, (the horn didn't work, found out why after the ready the forum) he barely hit me putting a small dent in the passenger fender. He never asked why I didn't hit my horn. That's ok, I was planning on replacing the bumper cover anyway (I do my own bodywork and paint). So I will take the insurance check (haven't got an estimate yet, out of town on business) and replace the headlights, bumper cover, install fogs and LED's with the money.
Ordered the turn signal mirrors, and picked up a Denali steering wheel for $40.
Still need carpet and a back seat. Need to upgrade the speakers.
Still needs buffing and minor scratch repair, a couple of pics.
Used console, DIC, and trim pieces installed.
Dent from the first day, driver backed into me, was planning on removing the shopping cart guard anyway.
I also picked up a 2013 Black PPV with minor front end damage about four months ago to convert the front end to an Escalade, will post the build on a new thread when I start it.
