🛠 1/3/22 Build Week Group

[Cat]

Got my baby pic a couple of days ago. I am really happy I got my picture..but…she looks filthy. Anyone else’s photo look dirty? It’s like she sat outside for 20 days (actual time it took to build)Every baby picture I’ve seen looks amazing. Maybe I can edit…lol

Sure would be interesting to hear the production story!

Took delivery on 2/4.

COOL! The (soon to be not so) rare WT soft top. Congrats!

 

[MConn]

So sorry this is occurring.

What's the new delivery date?

Right now it says 2/16 but the dealer and his rep said that date is crap. The train it is on is already fully scheduled so it is more likely that the car will be pulled off and return to a holding pen to be scheduled out down the line. So like others, it could be days, weeks, or months.

So yesterday was: MRT dual exhaust, ARB compressor, 1” zone level kit, and rigid A pillar pod lights

How's that mount? Pretty solid?

I haven’t take it off road but I have hit a few pot holes and no movement

When are you guys getting your reservation refunds? At delivery? Once order accepted? From the dealer or Ford? My dealer told me Ford releases it. Ford told me my dealer releases it but he hung up on me and I'm on hold again calling back... Ugh so annoying!

It was a rebate applied at purchase.

Begging forgiveness in advance of my preamble:
So when I was coordinating picking up my Bronco, apparently in my state of euphoria I promised my sales guy a case of his favorite beer. I stopped by to make good on my promise today (thankfully it was just Coors Light ) and saw these two Broncos loaded up. I said, “wow, you got two more in, that will make a few people’s weekend (thinking of all the souls in purgatory including @Cat)” He tells me, “oh no, those were orders that were declined. Those are going to Texas (from AZ). We sold them for $12.5k over MSRP!” Now, keep in mind, they were great to work with me. No funny business over MSRP stuff, very straight forward (didn’t necessarily go out of their way to be knowledgeable or proactive about my 21-22 voucher, Ford Points etc, but always accommodating when I brought these things to their attention). I can’t help but think….and this is due in large part to my Bronco6G Doctorate Degree in Dealerships…that perhaps these were actually employee reservations being sold off. What buyer (of two Big Bend, soft top models coincidentally), would back out given the current market!?! You be the judge…

Probably legit, things happen and people need to back out. There's an AMB two door in my town that was abandoned due a military deployment, guy couldn't take delivery so it got sold off.

And 4 door, BB, softy's are a dime a dozen.

Is the sound when you get in and put your foot on the brake a fuel pump priming? Sounds like a little electric motor or something.

Our Bronco makes so many random noises it's ridiculous. Seems like every time you open a door or something there's a whirring of some sort going on. I've just gotten used to it and ignore its little farts and buzzes.

43 for me in squach mode

39psi in my 33" KO2's

 

[Roger123]

That was what was in them when i picked it up. I usually run about 10% above the recommended amount on the tire itself. i need to verify it though

I wouldn't run above the tire sidewall, that's max pressure for the tire at full load. Now 10% over the door sticker is fine and usually what I do as well.

39psi in my 33" KO2's

This is what I have….33” K02s

Wondering if there’s an ideal PSI for them as far as tread wear and ride comfort.

 

[KReich64]

I have the Rhino Dominator Xtreme D1’s already delivered. (Just waiting on my Bronco now…) Had them on my Jeep too. A great product!

 

[KReich64]

If anybody is thinking about getting a console safe (or two, to share with a friend), now is the time to order!
20% off of one, or buy one, get one at 50% off. Not bad!

 

[Gatlinz]

I’ll have to do my pictures and write up tomorrow, I’m still running on 1.5 hours of sleep lol. I did check my engine label, it appears my engine was built Jan 3rd, 2022

Quick picture I took at a friends house earlier.

Nice! that Green really looks good! Glad you finally got it back to your home.

So yesterday was: MRT dual exhaust, ARB compressor, 1” zone level kit, and rigid A pillar pod lights

I see quite a few people mounting the compressors under the hood. Are you not concerned about the heat affecting the compressor?
