🛠 4/4/22 build week group [now with Google doc]

[naturesmith]

So, fellow Bronco-less 4/4ers, what are you driving while you wait. My ‘11 GX460 is my hockey hauler. I traded in a ‘19 4Runner last year when I was offered a crazy price ($6k over what I bought it for new).

For summer cruising duties, I have the work-in-progress ‘68 Mustang.

For good measure, the old 4Runner…

My wife has a ‘14 Grand Cherokee Overland that we bought new that will take over family duties if the Bronco ever arrives. It only has 40k on it right now, the advantages of a work from home gig (long before it became the norm).

I'm driving a sad little 2016 Honda HRV. But it's good on gas and pretty reliable. SO...I have 100% decided if I don't have my Bronco by my next loan pre-approval expiration date (which is August 15th,) I am going to let the dealership have my Bronco and keep the little guy until the economy improves.

Stepson's Wildtrak that went into production on 4/4 finally changed to "built" on 6/12.
Got the "... final inspection, blah blah blah..." email with an estimated delivery date of 7/8-7/14

Daily is a 2018 Mazda 6 that I'll be trading in and my play car that will share the garage with the Bronco is a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata

I do miss my Miata. I had a '92. I bought a fairly rough (cosmetically) example and threw the Flyin' Miata catalog at it. I had a buddy that built up his Miata, then went full monster Miata, and gave me all of his FM Stage 2 suspension stuff, 949 wheels, and then found a local Miata guy that was parting out another red Miata that was in perfect cosmetic condition, so I bought everything (doors, fenders, bumpers, trunk lid) etc for $400. The day after I did the body swap, I had to travel for work and left it parked in the driveway. It hailed, and every body panel got damaged. I sold it not long after that.

They are such great cars, I can't drive it without smiling lol I bought this one about 7 years ago, since it's the factory turbo model. I have the flying miata intake kit, car back exhaust, roll bar, 15x8 wheels, and I'm at the point now I don't want to mod it anymore and just enjoy it since it's about 200hp. It's a blast at autocross and tail of the dragon, hoping to do a track day at road atlanta sometime soon.

It'll be fun having two cars that can be topless lol

Mine was so pristine. I bought it with 31k and sold it at 51k. Second owner. Had it for 11yrs. For a 32yr old car, it rocked!

That is immaculate!! It's so rare to see them clean and stock now

It was all stock. I enjoyed it, but I was done with it.

Ordertrack count 'down' to 711. Man, I just want some movement. I am going to call and express my dissatisfaction to Ford (again). *sigh*

That's a beauty. Mine was definitely more "track rat" condition.

There's about 100 more cars waiting to ship this week than last. Up to 409 now. Feel like I'm back on the production hold bus. I live 4 hours from Wayne, MI. I'd love to just drive up and get it.

 

[Stuffed]

Haven't checked for a month. I have 4 digit tag now and today was the day it was supposed to be status changed. No word from dealer. I've not cancelled my order but I will not be buying it. Ford burned the bridge for me. I will however be going to the dealership to test drive it when it shows then will be telling them to stick it up their ass. 🫢

Hey 4/4 week!! Hang in there!!! Mine arrived last week and I’m currently on vacation but just received my production line photo extra late. Hoping the beauty behind me belongs to someone who hasn’t gotten their photo yet

also, check out this article I read this morning about some 22 models getting the sway bar. I’m planning to check this weekend when we get home.
