I'm hopeful! I want to coordinate delivery with planned holiday travel to the Midwest, if possible. I've attempted to get info from Granger regarding the shipment, but emails to Samantha and online sales have gone unanswered as yet.
I'll phone them this week.
It’s now Hayleigh on the Bronco orders, not Samantha.I'm hopeful! I want to coordinate delivery with planned holiday travel to the Midwest, if possible. I've attempted to get info from Granger regarding the shipment, but emails to Samantha and online sales have gone unanswered as yet.
Thanks for the tip, I was using the email thread that was started way back when reservations were first made, and Samantha last replied to it back in September.
It’s all about picking the right line in rocks. Plan your route through obstacles way ahead of time and you can just roll though. My first time on the rubicon I took my TJ on 33’s a 3.5” lift and nothing more. Open front, Dana 35 rear with limited slip and no skids to speak of. My TJ is well built now and I can run from loon lake to the springs in just a couple hours without any body damage (wheel rock rash… that’s another thing). Remember tops and doors are expensive they are removable for a reasonI feel like I'm the luckiest guy on the forum - picked up this cactus grey he-man from an abandoned order at my local dealer.
It's my ideal build, right down to the tow package, and it's a BLAST on the back roads, and a beast in the snow (and ice) since I swapped on some Wildpeak AT3Ws.
As a Tahoe local, I'm already daydreaming about a Rubicon run... after some rock rails, maybe a winch, and a LOT of practice. I'm fairly sure my years of track and autocross experience aren't directly applicable on granite!

i was something like 512 and mine got booted.That’s interesting! I’d love to know how they went about picking which 2 DR HEL orders got made and which got canceled. I always assumed it was based on ascending VIN sequence, but maybe not.
I guess it’s possible that they produced all of the 2DR HEL VIN’s between 427-718. If so, we were really close.
What color was yours? I had HEL 799 in Yellowstone and it was booted. I honestly didn't think they had produced any 2DR Yellowstone HEL's, but @0FFR0AD proved that at least a couple of them were actually made.
mine was not a limited just standard 2d heritage race red (automatic and aux switches were the only options selected)
FYI, This one is available in Zachary La. at Superior Ford for $72,975. I don’t know why they parked it overnight a few blocks away, but anyway it showed up on the dealership’s Facebook this morning.Just spotted this one in Zachary La. on a carrier trailer parked for the night at the Harbor Freight parking lot. Only other vehicle on the carrier was a Raptor truck. Hope they make the night ok! I was circling it in my Bronco taking pics LOL
My brother's got an LR130 and it's a really nice truck, but I'd rather have the Bronco!mine was not a limited just standard 2d heritage race red (automatic and aux switches were the only options selected)
the wife daily reminds me to bail on this thing and go buy another land rover
.every time she sees a defender on the road she calls and reminds me how much more comfortable we would be in that truck.My brother's got an LR130 and it's a really nice truck, but I'd rather have the Bronco!
This HEL is for my wife, but I've got to say she's been exceptionally patient with the process
