🛠 1/3/22 Build Week Group

[TowBoater]

I dont get it...my 1/4 blend only shows the Scheduled for Production box checked. Maybe they are using the OCD Checklist on mine!

Mine is showing the same thing. I used that sync website that someone gave early this morning and it shows there are no updates to my sync 4 and says 2022 bronco.. so I know it's built? But why would it just be sitting there and no updates to me? I don't understand what is going on with it.

I am not obsessing, your obsessing.
My CSX Rail overlay update Map.

My guess is you'll need this Union Pacific map once it leaves Chicago.

Little birdie told me there was an error on BD WS -- Its fixed so those who have built units in limbo should see good news soon

I missed it. What is a BD WS? Sorry, but this will add to the thread count.

Somebody asked about financing earlier.......this is my very first new vehicle purchase...and there seems to be two camps:

Put money down or don't put money down......that is the question.

This will probably be my 80-100th vehicle purchase. (I admit I have a problem) I have bought cars for cash and I have financed with no money down and everything in between. Right now, if you have good credit, money is cheap. If you can get 2% finance rate, it’s almost free. Keep the cash in a higher yield account. Plus the Bronco will likely hold its value better than the loan, meaning you should not be upside down. I like my cash in accounts, not in a depreciating asset in my garage. My .02.

You know...I had like 8k of accessories added to mine. Roof rack, full rigid bar, rigid lights underneath, 3 tops, rail doors, the little keypad for the door, and some other misc stuff, and my dealer took it all off cause he said it would be produced much faster this way. I'm kind of not mad about it because I consider him a friend and he did what he thought was best to get me the truck quicker but I would have liked to have been told beforehand like you were, rather than after a few months when I checked in. It seems to have all worked out because I'm going to be working with a very reputable company that is going to use my Bronco to test out new accessories such as lights, lifts, suspension stuff and so on. If that wasn't the case though, I'd be pretty angry about not getting all the goodies I selected.

Wow! Lucky you!!

Small update for me. Just checked palsapp, and the destination fields are now populated with my dealer info. Previously, these were 'null' or blank. However, the status is still pending.

The important things ^_^ And like you said, you can aftermarket the lift and the tires. Speaking of tires, any thoughts on what you plan to get? I want to immediately take the stock m/t off and sell them and have a set of tires ready to throw on. I'm torn between the Grabber ATX and the Falkon Wildpeaks. The Falkons seem to be more puncture resistant but are better for the cold (which I don't need too much) than the Grabbers, but Grabbers seem better in damn near every other category.

I just ordered BFG Ko2 for mine, I'm planning on selling the stock Sasquatch wheels and tires immediately.

This is kinda what I was leaning toward: I mean Ford already has $600 of my money, plus this mysterious $825 credit I’m supposed to get for price protection. I figure I throw another $575 and that’s $2k

Anybody know if Ford credit will routinely finance with nothing down.

I have good/very good (not “excellent) credit.

Yeah I actually looked into it awhile ago, but it seemed like you basically have to have a warehouse of gfx cards to have any sort of lucrative return.

I started off with an Innosilicon a10 pro 5g which I got at a damn good price (6k) and right before the cryptos shot up. That thing printed me out about 10k in less than a year. I sold it for 11k and used that money to buy GPUs. I've made about 50k at this point and only spent about 12k on parts and cards. I also only started a bit over a year ago. Timing is key with this stuff and I happened to get in at a good time. Ethereum won't be minable in the next year or two so if you do want to get started, get GPUs and not an ASIC as they will be obsolete. You can start funding your mining rig build by buying cryptos when the market drops heavily like it has recently, and selling when it's high, then use that money to start piling up parts. It's really fun actually and can get addicting quick. I have a bad habit of buying every card I can get my hands on but it does pay for itself fairly quick.

*Edit* I butchered the quote trying to edit out an old one, my bad.

Good point to consider. I hate having a loan to payoff so my OCD brain wants to pay it off asap, vs sitting on debt. It feels good to know it's mine vs the bank's too, lol.

We have a 0% loan on our Stinger GT (Kia financing) so that one will be the last we pay off.

I was looking in to those too but I didn't do as much research as I did on the Grabbers and Falkons. Ko2s are mostly off road?

Update from my dealer on my order: " It is currently showing an ETA of Feb 3rd, however Ford has been dealing with logistical issues so I would add a week or two to that to be safe. We are currently still waiting on several vehicles that were due mid December. "

Wow! Lucky you!!

I'm super excited about working with them. Once I know what i'm allowed to say, i'll be sure to post some updates and info here.

Ford rates wil not be close to the best. Shop around for rates. If you have a bank you use, call and speak to them on the phone. Join a local credit union, they have excellent rates. Ford will be 2-3 points higher than the best you will find.

I agree with @Tx 2022, with interest rates so low your money is better off put elsewhere.
