Nice! Did you have the dealership swap the tires out? I’m planning to have them do it, if it ever comes inPipe dream no more!
I am too!
I'm taking my sweet Ultras with me! Then my big bend that I trade in will have the badlands takeoffs so it's a win-win.
I haven’t gotten one of those emails either. Even my “your build is delayed” email is delayed haha
I ended up finding mine, I hadn't checked my Spam folder, and there it was
I stand corrected. It was in my spam folder.
I did. They're 275/70r18s. When these wear out I'm going to get a small level kit and get 285 or 295/70r18s. I was able to get the tires attached to the Bill of Sale so I could pay for it as part of my loan.
Check it in a day or two, because oftentimes the tracker goes backwards like that before it moves forward to the next step of Built. Fingers crossed for you!Welp I went backwards. Looks like I got updated today. Happy Father's Day to me.
Oh well it is what it is. I still got the fam out this weekend offroad to a secret swim spot in the Taco. Not comfy at all with us stuffed in an extra cab but this is the shit I wish I had the bronco for at this point.

Yeah I think Alli is right. Every time I’ve heard of it going backwards, it moves on to the next step shortly thereafter. I’m hopeful for ya brother! Looks like a solid Father’s Day too.
Mine went back and the next day it was shipped. Got my rail car number and just tracking it down the tracks
…. Seriously though. Is there literally no rhyme or reason how it’s done? I own and run a load brokerage and trucking company, my Mon-Fri is consumed with freight shipping and everything we do has a sequence.. basic order of operations ya know?. Things are done a specific way to make the outcome the most successful. For weeks now I’ve tried to pay close attention to specific build weeks, build types and what locations they are being shipped to to try and understand their system (surely there’s a system right?). Then when you see a Bronco built AFTER yours, shipping to AZ just like yours.. get shipped, yet mine is still in Michigan?! 
Wtf?!!!? That is just not efficient… does nobody at all care about train fuel? 
Shipping ETA was moved from 6/28-7/5 to 7/25-7/31. She said there was an update to my vehicle on June 3rd in the system, but couldn’t tell me exactly what the update was, just that a part that they were waiting on must have come in and was put on the vehicle 
She said it may or may not still be waiting on parts as it hasn’t been released for shipping yet. She did however give me a private offer certificate to use at the dealer even though I have no idea why I would get/qualify for one? I will surely take it though Here’s a promising update - I did chat, then called Marketing. Marketing was SUPER nice and very helpful.
I’ve been in IP purgatory since 5/24. Showing "built but not released” in the dealer’s system. This is the last status I got, and has been that way for a while. My old ETA dates were 6/11 - 6/17, but now showing “Pending”. But it’s this next bit of info that I found interesting - she said it was “still in the factory, but released to shipping”, which she explained is kind of like the paperwork is done to hand it off, but shipping hasn't taken possession of it yet. That is new information for me and I was excited beyond words to hear anything with new movement forward. That the words shipping came into the status was great!
I think much of this delay is due to some kind of delay with handing it off to rail. I’m not a logistics expert, but as Paul McCartney once said….”I got a feelin’, A feelin’ deep inside, oh yeah…oh yeah”.
