Mine isn’t nearly that rough:

Shoot, I might ask for a discount and just drive it off the lot with that. Still sucks though...sorry, man.

I’m bringing it back - the chips are all the way to metal so it has to get some repair

Yeah, first hour is pretty rough. One my third FJ windshield.

Tell me about it. I’m sure I looked crazy to anyone passing me on the highway. I was going from cursing to laughing with a little bit of crying in between

We have been using a rim refurb guy down here. He has the whole show; furnace to heat and straighten if needed, fill and shape and then re-finish. See if there is a similar service in your area. Otherwise happy hunting on E-bay.

Thanks, I'll check it out and eBay is always a good backup

So today marks 1 year from when I submitted my order to my dealer (the first time). I naively thought I would have a wait of a few months, lol. Well atleast its built now just waiting for shipping and delivery. Maybe someday I'll have my bronco.

Haha. I was going to get Rapid Red but my wife told me I was too old.

F That! I got Cyber Orange ... well my wife thinks I've lost my mind anyway.

My wait is finally over, I picked her up tonight.

Very nice! Enjoy

There are many of us 12-20 folks still waiting for our Broncos. I have seen many built after that have towing that have been delivered. I'm starting to think that the modular front, steel rear or the rock rails are holding us up. My best guess is rear steel bumpers..... thoughts?

So, got a call from my dealer; good news/bad news, he said: Bronco has arrived, but there’s transport damage to the hood and grill. So basically this vehicle I’ve waited 1.5 years on has already been in an accident. Plus obviously can’t go get her today, so the frickin’ wait goes on.

Thankfully, the damage appears minor, cosmetic, and easy to fix: a dent in the hood and a broken grille. Dealer’s service manager is gonna look at it on Monday when he’s in. My hope is that they can fix the dent easily, make sure there’s no additional damage, and order a new grille. Then I can sign and drive until the new grille comes in.

What y’all think?

Gotta say that sucks, I see it's minor damage but if it were me I'd want to make sure that the repair was flawless. I just don't want to be able to see anything even if anyone else could't. Are they going to replace the hood?

It’s left Whitcomb, WA today. My dealer said I’ll have it by Friday the 28th or before.

My other dilemma now is MY second order also a Wildtrak four door just went into production - ordered 11/27/2021 (soft top No tow package). I don’t know if I should take that order too and flip it or let the dealer keep it. Ugh. Decisions.

Maybe be you can work out something wit the dealer? Have them sell it and give you an accessory credit or warranty.

I have all those ob my build my Bronco is supposed to be in transit to my dealer.

....and many have been delivered. It seems like most of the ones taking this long were built together so I suspect that they ran out of something unexpectedly.

Hope you get some good news soon. I just got mine with the mod bumper and tow package. I didn’t go hard top to make it quicker but I’m seeing a lot of those delivered as well. It’s ridiculous how some are built while others have to wait.

You know, that’s a good point re: new hood—thanks. They were talking body shop repair to the hood, which really might be fine. The dents seem to be “gentle” (like no hard crisp folds), and the paint seems to be ok.

But to your point—if the body shop repair isn’t flawless, maybe I do ask for a new hood altogether. I could certainly drive it with the cracked grille and body-shop-repaired hood until a new grille and a new hood comes in.

Sorry to say it guys, but I think I may hold the record for entering my VIN into palsapp.com. I need a new hobby...

My Bronco has been sitting at the rail terminal in Jacksonville collecting dust for 8-9 days. I definitely think it has everything to do with the lack of vehicles heading to my very nice, but relatively small dealership.
