🛠 1/17/2022 Build week group

[Mborkow31]

So far, I've seemed to escape with no physical or mechanical defects.

Put new tires on the stock steelies. 34's fit perfectly without any modification to stock suspension. No rubbing whatsoever on crash bars at full lock.
They fill the wheel well nicely in my opinion and I gained an extra inch of ground clearance.

@Ford Motor Company Please release the rest of the 1/17 group. Enough is enough!

Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/75/17 Load Range C.

How do those Ridge Grapplers ride? They look great. Wheels and tires were on my wish list, but a choice had to be made between doing the stereo how I wanted and getting new wheels and tires. The wife wasn’t really in support of either as she said both are “fine” but my decision ultimately came down to the wheels and tires being a purely cosmetic upgrade (with the way I’ll use my Bronco).

Went to the local car audio shop yesterday and put a deposit down on a new system. Total with install clocked in around $3,600. I had an epiphany last night regarding the equipment list though, I think I might be able to make a couple of changes to hopefully shave about $500 off that total without sacrificing quality. I’ll share an update and full equipment list later once I make that call with my suggestions.

The Nitto's ride great so far. They seem a bit softer than the stock grabbers, but time will tell as I've only put about 100 miles on them. I'm definitely happy with the upgrade.
My MPG will certainly be worse, but I didn't get a Bronco for good gas mileage.

The Ford CS phone also sees the same date as the dealer has. You can call them.

I call them once a week! This week I had a stupid man tell me all he sees is it's in Production and there's no other info he can give me.
The two weeks prior, I got two different women who searched high and low and came up with May 1st-May 7th as the delivery date!

So it looks like we’re going from false delivery dates to no delivery dates! Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse. I think we all just have to wrap our heads around the fact that it’s not gonna be anytime soon and then be pleasantly surprised if it does happen anytime soon

Has anybody called the plant? I know there's an Owner Advocacy Team within Ford but don't have the number.

Side note, I do have some good news. My wife said I could buy a One Wheel if my Bronco didn't arrive by June.

Cool. Is that a 35? Can you fit a 37 on it?

If you’re looking to save a few bucks I’d recommend keeping the OBX wheels and just upgrading the tires. There’s plenty of photos here of people that did that and it’s still a total upgrade.

Landed at the dealership this morning.

Looks like somebody left the doors open at the temp controlled Ice Mountain storage warehouse! Lying Ford POSs

She's beautiful . She a dirty girl though . Make sure to slap the back bumper to check for sturdiness. So from the day it showed shipped on the tracker to today when it landed at the dealership. How long did it take ? Also it went from Michigan to where ? What state

Oh Florida then okay ..I love in Florida too. Miami. Okay. Thanks so my bronco I checked late April 13 and it was still in production then I checked next day April 14th and it said shipped to my dealer. Lol. I still don't have a rail number or anything . I message Ford they are useless and don't even get me started at my sales guy. They keep telling me it should arrive no later than may 24 which was my original EDD before @Ford Motor Company decided to remove the EDD from the tracker I just hope to have my Bronco this month

No, and you can only get a 20 on a unicycle.

yup. My “delivery” date is now in the past and no change in 3 months. Tells me they don’t know where they parked it or any clue to a plan. It’s a random cluster f**k.

 

[ELKS1]

Another week and another pushed back Edd. It went from May 6 now to May 11. Who wants to bet it doesn’t show up next Wednesday either?
