Hi John. I've got about 1,000 miles between you and my driveway. I expect lots of salt and snow along the way. I was wondering, do you have a recommendation for a shop near you to get underbody coating? I'd like to pretty much make an appointment and go straight there after taking delivery. Rust kills frames up this way very quickly. I've replaced a rotted rotor off a 2019 with only 24k miles on it, two weeks ago. I've kicked wheel Wells to bust off snow and ice, and saw pieces of the body and rocker panels fall off.
Thank you John. My dad used to spray old motor oil up on everything and then tear ass up and down the local dirt roads. id much rather get a professional coating doneI am not aware of any businesses in the area that does rust prevention. If I hear of something, I will post it.

Hey John, how's it been going with Ford reimbursement for the cash they were alotting? I know that was an initial concern, they'd make it too hard for the dealers to get the money back.

There is a Line-X franchise in Nitro, WV that does underbody coating. I called them about my MX-5, but they said their lift wasn't low enough for it. So, I can't comment on their product, quality or price.. but it's the closest one that I know of off the top of my head.i did it myself to my 4runner a couple years ago. I crawled underneath and slapped POR-15 on with a paint brush. It was a terrible job. I thought i had every speck of skin covered but i did not. Got a little on my forehead and under my eyes, all around my goggles. I had to scrub my skin with paint thinner to get it off. i had wicked red rashes for a week all over my face. Had to buy a gas mask filter so i can breathe without huffing that stuff in, but it was really difficult to draw in any air through it.
That sucks man. Seems like the hits just keep coming. Wonder if it’s possible they’re just waiting for transportation to be lined up before marking it released for shipment? 16 days seems like a long time to wait though@Mike5681 @Bogeybekk
looks like I won’t be coming in with you guys, fuck I’m pissed.
So it’s been 16 days since I got the built email so I call Tanis, who is great by the way, to check what they know as all my sources (trackers, Aem link, etc) show awaiting shipment and I have no airbag recall, my modules are all updated, my 2.7 engine was built in June (not April as those are the bad valve ones) so nothing appears a reason to hold this up. I ask him to pull the vehicle visibility report and he looks and tells me “hmm, looks like your Bronco is built. But um, it shows that your Bronco is not “released for shipment“. I appreciate his transparency but if I didn’t ask I’d still be thinking I could get shipped any day.
Very mad at Ford as why send me a built email, lead me on and give me a ’track your Bronco’ link that says “Your Bronco has been built and we are arranging shipme to to your dealer. This step could take a few days to a week“ when both are straight up lies. I don’t understand why they just can’t tell us the truth. It’s one thing if I knew they were working on it but I know it’s just parked with zero urgency to get it completed, if there was any urgency whatever it was could get corrected overnight. All the while cranking out hundred of new Broncos with all the parts my Bronco might need while mine sits. Not looking for sympathy, just sharing my frustration.

I checked my shipping status earlier today and my estimated delivery date is now 11/22. Mine was built on 10/28 and originally was scheduled for delivery 11/11-11/17, then 11/19 and now 11/22.
@StephensAutoCenter John, can you check to see if there is anything holding up my shipment like what @Rubisquatch mentioned above?
So will tomorrow be the day to see if we got the lucky draw of being scheduled for production? Am I understanding how this works correctly?Ok folks, I can see what they've previewed.
2.3 auto and manual, 2.7 autos, 4 doors and 2 doors, Base through Wildtraks, no Big Bends, all colors, with and without Sasquatch, with and without Towing, all different bumpers including Modular, hard and softtops on 4 doors, leather trim and no leather trim, lux and no lux,

I think you stated there were 11 previewed last week. Were there additional ones this week? Or I guess, what was the total previewed for this round of scheduling?Correct.
We can expect emails to start going out tomorrow, perhaps tomorrow afternoon and some may be sent on Friday.
