Lucky SOB

[termin8]

That would be me. I was an Aug 6th reservation, 2 door OBX A51, MIC roof, modular bumper, towing capability, 2.3L. Last week called the dealer to help my chances possibly, and he removed the towing option. I said I've never seen one in person yet and he said well a 2 door just came in that afternoon and its for sale. Apparently their sales manager had a priority 1 order as a 4 door and it came in missing 2 doors, and he doesn't want it. I said I will take it sight unseen again. It is a 2 door OBX carbonized grey, 2.7, modular bumper, towing capability, leather roast interior. The price was the price, no markup. Have since put Falken Wildpeaks on, as well as used one auxiliary switch for a horse horn. The shop guys mounted the front license plate bracket lower on the modular bumper so that's seems to be in a better place. My wife and I absolutely love it. No whistle noises coming from the mirrors or hood as others mentioned, roof looks fine, but will keep checking on it. We are retiring in October so hopefully when this virus dies out we can come south of the border to try out some of those cool trails I keep hearing you guys talk about.

Are those tires stock? Very lucky!

Congrats! When you say the front plate was mounted lower, do you have a picture of what you mean?
I don't understand why Ford put the radar right in the center. A different modular bumper design could've had them move the radar off-center.

Falkens replaced the factory Bridgestone's, now need to put those online for sale. The bracket is just below that radar box and fastened to 2 of those bolts that came on the bumper.

Forgot to mention for the 2 door guys, I was able to put all 5 tires in the back without issue, thought for sure would have to make multiple trips to bring them home. for the bracket some pics below. they used some other plate than the one that came for the Bronco as i still have that one. It is very sturdy and doesnt move at all. I then had a black stainless license bracket placed over the Ontario plate

Dave, I'd rather have luck than a license to steal. Congratulations, and enjoy the ride. It's a beauty.

BTW, what is the size of the Wild Peaks? I've been running a bunch of options for wheels, and tires on my Outer Banks. Just changing the tires could be an option also. Thanks

Congrats
