Okay so you’ve also shipped to galpin! I am waiting and have the same delivery dates. Those updated yesterday and tracker has been down. No email. Maybe there’s reason for hope after all

Yeah I'll find out from Jeff what rail car it's on. Hopefully like you said we're on the same train.

Be careful what you wish for. Waiting for that last mile / leg was for me the most excruciating part of the process. Imagine Indiana Jones hanging on to his father's arm while he stretches his other arm to grasp for the Holy Grail that's just out of reach. You know where it is. You can even see it if you want to as the rail yard is likely near your dealership and/or home. But you can't touch it, and certainly can't have it.

When they unloaded my Bronco from the train, it was a blind wait for days with no tracking, no visibility, no estimation, nada. For some, it has now been weeks. I hope your experience is better than that. If not, complain away!

I actually already know it will likely not be delivered on time, or at least on the latest scheduled delivery time frame. I understand shipping and their usual issues regarding transfers rail line switches and logistics for transfer to haulers from rail. It will be brutal for sure but I get it so it's not an issue for me. What I always had issue with Ford was the fact that they sat on the truck whilst others were moving just fine. After watching last nights Bronco Nation live stream I learned what I already assumed was the case. Ford had quality control issue on finished Broncos and they had to be reworked, hence the delays. My issue was always that Ford couldn't be bothered to say what is up, but continued to try and pass it off with standard form letters meant to appease their bosses yet containing no actual information.
SO now when the Bronco does hit Galpin and I'm called to pick her up I will have to arrange for them to park it in a nice clear open space and bring my light kits and tools so I can crawl over the thing to inspect it real thoroughly to see if there is anything obviously not perfect. And it should be perfect right? It was told to me on two separate occasions that they are working "to ensure my complete satisfaction".
If anything isn't perfect it will get noted and then Galpin will have to deal with those issues.
Had Ford come clean and said what they screwed up in the factory I would have just verified that particular thing was in good condition and gone on my way without feeling the need to scrutinize the Bronco. And I would have not had such negative things to say about the company in general. Communication is really more important than Ford is apparently aware of. Their lack of an effective and reliable communication pipeline has turned the whole experience into a real mess and left countless people really not liking the Brand in general. And it's really hard to rebuild that relationship once you've thrown it in the trash.

I concur...I'm one of those "weeks" victims.

I will be going with this color which is a super rare film that the company released only enough to do 30 cars in and should be quite the eye catcher on the bronco. The film should be here end of next week hopefully and then i will update some pics here when it’s done.

Super sweet! Ive seen this color done at a local spot ive taken another car to.

Cant wait to see pics!

Wired up my first set of squadron pods tonight. Just waiting on the zroadz dual pod mount i ordered to add the second white pair. Going to get her dirty tonight and try them out in the dust.

This is the best picture I have seen yet of how the wire actually gets routed. Is there room to enclose the wiring in a piece of 3/8" split wire loom? I have a couple Diode Dynamics C1s. They are awesome lights but the wires need protection.
