@forest1081

@forest1081 Yeah, someone added the Bronco Club thing after the other one was up, so just trying to keep everyone on the same page, literally! You'll see rallys and what-not pop up....

Hello from Algonquin !
My BADLANDS BRONCO should be being built today !
YAH HOO

Hit the northern Illinois page... No one checks this one.

I’m in Huntley! Hope to pass you soon!!

I have experienced the always moving further away production date, but 8/8/2022 hasn't changed for a while AND yesterday, for the first time I was able to get my window sticker! This has been an exercise in patience (and saving money), and I'm old enough not to be too optimistic, but it seems like its getting real!

Come pick them up at the event head over to our website wildhorses4x4.com for more info! Act fast if Interested as we only have limited space.

Anybody know of a place to get the grill letters painted?

Use just the Northern Illinois title...that's where you'll find everyone.

Hey for those of you who have taken ownership, do you get any rattle on a cold start? I think there's something in the engine bay (haven't taken enough time) that just started to rattle with the cold, but seems to go away after the engine warms even a little bit.

Thinking I should poke around for something loose

Again, you're in the wrong thing here...Hit Northern Illinois thread, that's where the folks are.

haha well what the heck is this thing?

Somebody who couldn't search started it! lol

I got the rear set of Ford splash guards for you guys. Don't work with the badlands rear bumper and I can't find a way I want to modify them.

Let me know if interested

Took delivery today! Wanted to shout out Paul at Rock River Ford. Super guy to deal with through the entire process. Changed my order twice and they were always helpful.

heck yea you flipped that top back! You woulda done it if it was 20 degrees as long as the sun was out today

Can't wait! Working with Paul already and just waiting on delivery. Current ETA is between 11/12-11/18. Did you do a trade-in on yours?

I traded in a 2018 F-150 Lariat, still have a ‘21 f-150 that we use as a our work truck

took delivery last Tuesday:

Picked up truck today!!!

How was dealing with schaumberg Ford? I have an order scheduled production date of 11/29 and am nervous about them trying to gouge me.

If you have a signed order sheet that's what I had that's what you'll pay. I paid MSRP and that's it.

I did the Austin Off Rodeo Labor Day weekend and after that experience I’d wait another year if I had too.

Just curious is anyone in the Northern Illinois group has received their Bronco yet.
Mine is "in production" but has been for two weeks now so I am not sure what the status really is but I am just curious if anyone in the area actually has their ride yet.

We’ll all have to plan a get together once we get these bad boys!

I'm going to the Off Rodeo Labor Day weekend. Saturday/Sunday.

I got mine June 30

Is anyone here familiar with the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail? I really want to do this in the Bronco!

There are a lot more youtube videos, just not sure how to do it and where to go, especially interested in planning places to stay, don't want to camp in the wilderness, I prefer cabins and hotels.

I also happened upon this park.

I'd like to do these things with my family and also find other family friendly people to go with. Thanks!!

--Jake

Only seen videos for a few years now. It's definitely on my list for the bronco

Search for it on Facebook. There are several groups dedicated to it. It also has its own website. I’d type it out here but the website address doesn’t agree with salacious content filtering here.

I’d be very interested in doing this.

I switched to a soft top over the weekend. Send some good vibes my way through tomorrow. I got this weird good feeling going on.

is that the cool one?

Well, that's where we are! Better than talking to yourself!

Thanks for the well wishes! Just came in!

Chicago guy, was originally contemplating a Big Bend but after careful consideration and a constant desire to get the hell out of the urban area, changed to a Badlands.

New to off roading, but excited to take this thing out next year (hopefully), go camping, sight seeing, and enjoying the open road with the top off.

Hope to get together with people here to pick their brain and learn more about off roading.

See ya out there.

Welcome! I went from BB to BL also. I factored in benefits and price of BD and BL, as I wanted the MGV and rubber flooring, and eventually the BL won out. Mine has been in Chicago area rail yard (Blue Island / Gibson in Hammond), via CSX / IHB, and now, I believe BNSF. Not sure what stalking the railcar does for me, though. Should be getting delivery at Granger in IA in a couple weeks. There are a couple offroad parks within a reasonable drive, but for most offroading, need to go to Michigan, Southern IL, or Redbird in Indiana, as far as I know, in the midwest.

Anyone going to one of these events?
Scroll down about 1/3 of page to Midwest. There are events in Tinley Park, Villa Park and Milwaukee.
signed up for Tinley.

right, i took a ton of pics and after i left i kept thinking of all the things i should have looked at, i was just too excited at taking it all in to even think at the time

I know. Lol
I still can’t believe it happened.

I went twice! Once was not enough..

Looking forward to hitting Lake Michigan shores from IL, IN and MI

Any specific spots in Illinois where you can mess around on the beach?

We booked a site at Silver Lake, MI for late July, thinking we would take the pop up with our new Bronco, snd ride the dunes ..but...since I likely will not be a June build, probably won’t have it by then.

Anybody heard good news from their dealer yet? My said they're gearing up for orders but don't have pricing yet. Also has mentioned coming in to place it, which I want to avoid given the whole pandemic thing, but we'll see

From Joe Cotton dealership today in response to my email; "I will be calling you next month to come in and place your order. They should be arriving early spring. We just got our first Bronco Sport in."
So thing are moving along, although I wish it were quicker and maybe even yesterday. I just have to practice patience and keep saving for the down payment

I'm looking to buy a velocity blue 2 door black diamond with mid and sasquatch package. Pretty sure it will be my daily driver. The blue is in honor of my first truck. A 1979 F150. This will be my third Bronco, but I haven't owned one in 20 years. I'm pretty excited about it.

That’s awesome! I keep going back and forth on color choice!

Rockford area here. Looking forward to some weekend WI off road trips....

Are you buy from Rock River?

*buying

@bokirby

@bokirby actually picking it up in GA pending when my move back to IL takes place, but I already contacted Bryden Ford in Durand, IL in the event I have to switch dealerships.

What trim level are we getting, and why? And which color?

I’m going for an Area 51 4dr badlands with the 2.7, hard top, and high package (maybe lux). I love the look of the 2dr but I will be trading in my F150 so I want the extra space in the 4dr. I am choosing the badlands trim because I wanted the washout interior for my dog and any other mishaps and I also wanted the high package. If the outer banks had the option for a washout interior I would consider dropping down to it to save some money since I’m not sure how much off-roading I will do yet. This will be my winter daily and possibly my only vehicle if I decide to sell the mustang as well.
