Just looking for some encouragement to keep up my excitement up about the BB I ordered over a year ago, don't have a build date yet ... the wait is SOOOOO rough.

The manual is as fun as they say. Even more fun off-road.

There are a couple of quirks on the road, like short first gear, but you can tell they designed this thing for off-roading first. It all made sense on the trail.

Crawler in 4L is ridiculous. No need for any of the downhill control computer crap.

Day 548 of my wait, I know a lot of people are over 600 days. Been frustrated seeing late 2021 orders getting filled before mine even gets scheduled, hope that it's worth the wait.

Aww thanks guys! I've been trying so hard to be patient but honestly drooling at every post and video I get my hands on. I was so excited to hear about adding the crawl gear. Took a chance and test drove a 4-door automatic BB a few weeks ago and DAAAMN! the turning radius and get'er'up was off the charts. SHIIAATTT!!! I nearly peed my pants and gave the sales guy a bruise on his leg slapping it so hard. He wouldn't let me drive on any dirt roads tho :)confused:) So I guess I get excited easily LOL!!!

Been loving my 7-spd man base since I got it. Sport mode kicks ass. A New Jeep two-door came up on me last night on my way home. Was side by side, then he accelerated ahead of me. My competitive side kicked in. I changed to Sport mode, dropped to 5th, and proceeded to catch and smoke him at 102mph (soooo glad it was a holiday, that stretch of freeway is a known speed trap). I initially though he was catching up to take a look, lol!

I feel your pain. July 2020 reservation and I am still waiting.

I can FINALLY see light at the end of the tunnel.

My Cyber Orange 2-door Base SAS 7-speed finally has a VIN. It’s scheduled to be assembled the week of May 9th. 🤞

Mine was a 7/20/2020 reservation, 3/5/2021 initial order in AMB. Notified in Oct 2021 I was moved to a 2022 and no AMB. Got lucky with EG. Build week was 1/31 but plant shut down so built the following week. Finally delivered on 3/2/2022. I nearly gave up, also had a Maverick on order just in case. It showed up two weeks after the Bronco.
