Hi ya’ll! It’s my blend date today (couldn’t be more excited), and I’m wondering for fellow Bronco owners that have gone through the process how long it took to get your vehicle at the dealer?

Awesome, congrats! Thanks, that’s reassuring. My dealer (St. Pete AutoNation Ford) said could be about a month, so I’m not holding my breath

Yep. Entering week 6 now since it’s been released to ship. No shipping notification. On my 6th estimated delivery date… so frustrating, but hoping it’s worth the wait!

How was the event? I really wanted to go but got behind schedule. Had to fix my grandfathers golf cart and then we did 4 install projects on my friend and dad rigs. Will they be having something like that again?

I think it's the second Saturday of each month. Nov 12 is the next one I have listed. But can check online to confirm. "Cars and Coffee Sarasota" it's at the University Town Center Mall by Fords Garage.

We do meet up at Red Star on Thursdays. Many Jeeps are coming back because it was packed last Thursday. There is a Dunedin group and we try and get there every other month or so. We just had a Citrus Event and the next event is going to be at Ol' Florida Off-road park for a weekend of camping and wheeling. If you would like more info, feel free to message me on here or Facebook in the group Broncos Gone Wild.

Hoping to see some of you at the Second Annual Blueberry Jam 2022 this weekend!

How was it?

It was a blast.
There were way more rigs there than the event in January, might be because it didn't get down to 28 degrees and yeah I know that's normal for our friends up north but might as well be 100 below down here. There were more vendors too, although it was still mostly Jeep oriented.
The Bronco crew definitely grew with more people doing custom stuff so that was nice to see. Good number of 2-doors this time.
Trails were very dry though. Guy that runs it said he's never seen it so dry so very little mud to be found. All in all still a blast though.

Very cool. Hope to attend an event sometime.

Picked up my truck last night!
I didn't get out of the dealer until almost 9:00, but did swing by the Red Star. Looks like a great time, and I'll be there next Thursday for sure.

I did on a Porsche. Lasted 6 months. I now buy the he expensive stuff from online or auto shop. Clay bar entire car, similar results. But An entire accessory cheaper. Only hand wash after too.

I am curious about this too. Sounds like Young Jedi did not have good experience with the expensive stuff.

Guy did amazing job. However, I believe the key is the clean clay bar surface. Apply in shade. Let it sit.

I'm new to off-roading, but plan to get out there with one Jeep owner I work with who is experienced, but had older CB equipment, and a guy I used to work with who is building a Jeep he got for free to be an off roader.
Seems like FRS or GMRS are replacing CB or HAM.
What radios are you guys using?

Hey everyone! New member from Riverview. Sooo my wife needed a new vehicle and wanted a 2 door Cactus Gray Bronco with manual transmission. I scoured the internet to find one and... no luck. So then we were just going to order one and I called a couple of dealerships and was advised they stopped taking orders for the rest of the year. Just my luck.. Then I found a Shadow Black 2 door Base model with manual trans at Tropical Ford in Orlando. We drove out there that same day and picked her up. The people at Tropical Ford were amazing to deal with! Great experience. We were in and out in less than 2 hours. They added all kinds of extras too! We got the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack with off-road recovery boards, Rigid 360 series 4 inch lights installed on the cowl, just to name a few. We couldn't be happier with everything. Now I find myself looking up all kinds of stuff to do to HER Bronco, and she likes it the way it is... Jeez!!! Oh did I forget to mention now she wants to make hot pink her accent color?!? I'm thinking I need my own Bronco! Muahahaha

Florida New Year event at Ol’Florida Off-road next weekend 1-28.

I’ve learned of an off-road event in Tavares Florida next weekend. Has anyone else made plans to attend ? I’m thinking about going over on Saturday for the day, and possibly again on Sunday.

Event website

Let me know if your going to attend. It sounds like a lot of fun.

Just received my 2D Eruption Green Metallic OBX with SAS/LUX/Tow/Aux Switches/Rack/HD Bumper. The color is fantastic. I'm looking forward to easing it off-road in the near future. I have a Bronco Off Rodeo reservation for March 9th at Moab. That should be a blast.

Any local Bronco owners interested in meeting up at one of the local car or truck nights ? The OCC in Clearwater on 49th st has a Truck/Jeep night every Tuesday starting at 5:00. Open to suggestions or other spots if anyone is interested. I still haven’t seen another 2 door on the street, and I’ve been driving mine since October.

Arrived 10/2 via train. Picked up 10/8 from Walker Ford. Jake, Athena and Tracy did a great job!!! Dealership Add center console safe, trailer hitch with 4 pin and mesh top. In and out in less than an hour. Easy process. Need to put the back doors on to see if we can reset the 1/2” indexing when opening and closing. they were acting up when we picked it up. Put a couple of hundred miles over the last few days. Above expectation on all fronts. 2.7 has plenty of get up and gone. Ride is better than my four runner. LUX options and sterio solid. Only knock, no storage

update: Santa stopped by…..Update. New rtr +30 charcoal grey wheels. Used the same obx tires

Nice ride. Agree on everything. Especially the no storage comment.

I have my reserv/order (code 99'd) through walker ford in clearwater. How was the process for price? Did they try/did they add to MSRP? I called them years ago when I first reserved and they told me no additional fees, just wondering. Thanks!

That is awesome! They told me that they aren't doing no dealer fees on 2022 right now since I didn't have a 2021 reservation. I am just going to be patient.... Thanks for you all your help! and take pics at the Bronco Experience. Jelly!

Good Luck on getting 35’s no one has much in inventory. I was at 4wp and they totally messed up my order and ordered the wrong tires. Ended up cancelling and going elsewhere but at least picked up the Rough Country 2” leveling kit to get someone to put on. Anyone out there have some recommendations? I want my 35’s on there.

I got SAS so this will be good for now. I just wanted to get rid of the forward rake.
