First Edition Bronco Thread

[AK SNO RIDER]

The laser’s jobs are plentiful. I’ll still crank out FE badges. I already know what the Ford part will look like. Then custom badges starting with BADLANDS and Wildtrak. I can’t get the laser setup fast enough. We still have all of our current parts that require laser annealing and etching.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with

My badge and framed window sticker delivered today. Pretty neat. Way less FEs produced than originally planned

They def didn't come in order I got 126 and mine was Delivered July 30th

Then yours didn't get stalled at dirt mountain...this doesn't prove they were built ”out of order” they were just shipped ”not in sequence ” that's the difference!

Mines #983. Wasn't even built until the end of November. I'm confident they were built out of order.

Sorry for the terrible quality but here it is. The badge came in a little baggy that had a sticker on it with the VIN as well

Ford is never going to say. They didn't produce all 7500, so if I had to guess from what I've seen, just under 7000 combined two and four doors.

Well that didn't age well...

Cats out of the bag now. I told y’all a long time ago Ford would be sending out new badges. Pretty cool package.

Awesome!!!! Cant wait!!!!

It says "replica" badge, is this intended for actual install on the console or just for show with the other framed goods?

It certainly looks like it should be able to install. I will try this afternoon after work and report back

Used a T15 (not included with the tools that came with the Bronco) to swap it out. Both badges feel look and feel exactly the same. I believe Ford absolutely intended on us installing them and not just keeping it on a shelf.

You'd think these would be sent out in chronological order...

I wonder how long before Alaskan is included in this and I get mine.

What was your blend date?

Tickled to be wrong! And very happily shocked for Ford to do something for First Edition owners. I know many of us posted that they should on these forums and you wonder if all of us complaining/suggesting and archetype doing the badges all contributed to it happening. Whatever the case, glad to see them do this.

I didnt realize covid and the bronco delays would drag on as they did and that commodities would get this constrained. It forced a lot of people to bail or change series and I get it. I just didn't realize how many had done this or were affected. Over 3000 not being made out of 7500 is significant.

I hate it for anyone who really wanted one and didn't get it or had to bail altogether.

But as an owner of one it's always nice to have fewer made as it made them rarer.
