Awesome color

Thanks! Glad I was able to get it before being discontinued.

What does "blend date" mean?

The date when frame and body are scheduled for "blending" together on the assembly line. Should be shortly followed by the modules coming alive.

A few questions for all the Dirt Mountain veterans on this thread.

When you finally got your car off of Dirt Mountain, were there any mechanical issues? Signs of leaks? Rodent issues? Underbody rust? Does anyone know if Ford performs a "reinspection" or puts the car back through QC before shipping for those sitting in lots for weeks / months?

Someone mentioned some paint issues but that was it. I am part of the Ice Mountain group and trying to prepare myself on what may happen while this car sits there for the next three months.

Mine was clean and nice. Maybe the dealer did extra good pdi. Not much new car smell though.

She’s finally here in Guam! Just picked her up this evening. I almost can’t believe it.

So far the high expectations have been met. Sure hope the 2.7 holds up, can’t imagine how long an engine replacement would take from here.

Thanks to @CO-Bronco for shepherding everyone out of Dirt Mountain.

Long live the bad batch.

I have not been here in a while... but there were no issues with my dirt mountain baby... except of course some 'dirt mountain dirt' in some of the crevices. My tires seemed ok... but my hubby said that we needed to get rid of them for 35's. I truly never thought I would love a vehicle, like I do this one. I was ready to give up during the wait and silence from Ford... but it was definitely worth it.

Sorry, I can't help myself... I just love it so much!
I really hope that everyone is enjoying their rides as much as I am
(I do have the license plate relocation kit... just waiting for my husband to do it)

Can't decide if I'm happy or disappointed this didn't get to at least 500 pages. Glad everyone's gotten their Broncos though!

 

[SpringTXOR]

We can still get it there, teamwork!

Other than that.... no not a thing....

Uh, excuse me. No, they haven't!!! Had to re-order a 22. Mine, produced 7/23 was apparently damaged somehow sometime, Ford won't say, and was either sold at auction or hauled in for repair to be auctioned....in Jan/Feb. So I await. Last man standing.

Before it blew up, what GOAT mode did you typically run it in? I keep mine mostly in ECO, but wondering if using sport more will be more likely to make it go boom in addition to making my MPG go boom.

Can you share the details on this?

Normal. Was cruising to a stop light and it just started coughing shaking sputtering. NOT GOOD.... I get my truck back today after 8 weeks

Dusty, dirty, inside wheel wells, under carriage......all over. I bought 2 broncos. Both were like this. Looked like they had driven the baja 5,000.
