Excellent update. Thanks.
Are they really retrofitting the missing module in the yard?? Seems so inefficient. Why wouldnā€™t they set up a pull through install area in a factory area or at least tent in a yard?
Iā€™m not sure anyone can be made happy in this situation. We complain that they are sitting out side for weeks and months we complain that they are not gettin pulled inside for the cup install. I think we should all just be happy that they are doing there best to get the job done and get us our Broncos.

I disagree not the quickest no way. A crew in the cold popping the hood is not quicker than an assembly line type of operation. It could be they donā€™t have the modules boards and/or crews so this is a slow way to proceed. If the goal was to be faster, there are many options and still do in the yard if no space or moving is the constraint.
Sure......driving them individually back to a warm shop, clogging up that shop so repairs on other broncos are stopped, doing the repair, and then driving them back to the lot......yeah that sounds a lot quicker to me. Sounds like you have never been involved in anything like that.

And the subsequent comment about demanding it be put on a lift at delivery, to look for rust as well as mouse nests.
Those are actually federally protected habitats. That mouse is both the State Mouse of Michigan and a rare white spotted belly grey mouse. They only nest in Fords.

Actually they only nest in Day One reservation holder Ford Broncos.

Any development potential at ice mountain? Possible lodge and ski runs? Spa? Something to do if we get visitation rights for our Broncos

There was a newer camper parked there in one of the videos if you want an overnight visit.

Mass install uses labor more efficiently. Yes I am an engineer. I guarantee itā€™s faster.

There's been a little activity lately. They were working on some Broncos at Ice Mountain and moving between MAP and a shipping yard. There's some more snow moving in Superbowl Sunday and then a warmup mid-week.


Narnia is Melting? Aslan is on the Move?

After the Broncos on Ice Mountain are cleared out, Ford will be looking to redevelop the lot into Mud Mountain, in time for the springtime MAP delay.

@Jo8n , you see yours? Im a 11/29 build week.... pushed est. delivery from 1/3- 2/2, now 4/4
AMB OBX 4dr softie, SAS, 2.7 lux, tow, aux....
Thanks for the eye candy!
Nice to see movement.
Good luck all!
I can't even imagine how frustrating it must be to be taking delivery of a 2021 Bronco Softtop 1/3rd the way through 2022 when you are seeing 2022's delivered.

On a side note, the OBX wheels actually looked good on the Eruption Green OBX - that really surprised me.

Hope you get your Bronco soon.

Seems to be a lack of race red Broncos. The take rate must be low.
Hopefully my Race Red WT will be built soon to change that :cool:

Like I said in my comment on the YouTube video, I'm going to pretend my OBX in AMB is in the background at the 3:30 mark.
