looks like a snow covered dirt pile.

Happens at every plant if there is a large quality or parts hold off site.

How do you figure? With JIT manufacturing, ILVS (in-line vehicle sequencing) prohibits this unless the Full Service Supplier's rack is out of order or messed up. The workers at MAP and other auto plants pick parts in a streamlined order coinciding with the build sitting in front of them.

I call B.S. on this "franken-bronco" Only way that happens if whoever supplies the tail lamps rack was out of order before being delivered to the plant, which is possible, but highly unlikely.

EDIT: I re-read your Q: and you're saying they off-sited the vehicle WITHOUT tail lamps.... and added later

The best way to build vehicles is on the assembly line. When 100s of vehicles missing parts or with bad parts/need repair are parked in a lot all kinds of bad shit happens. I’ve seen it dozens of times. You can’t build a vehicle in a parking lot. The repairs cause paint chips/scratches, sqeaks/rattles, missing parts, loose parts, unconnected hard shells, battery issues to name a few. Warranty claims always go up on the held vehicles.

You may not believe it. But it existed. I certainly wasn't the only one that seen the thread as a few commented on it. It was posted in the Photos/Videos sub-forum maybe 3 days ago at most. Beyond the error on the line in supplying the parts is the thought that there are different harnesses that run the tails. Yet, the Tic-Toc showed both clearly illuminated.

Now, maybe it was just a dealer pulling a prank and swapped tails for a quick video to garner views. I don't know. Seems like a lot of effort to garner a few comments/views.

It's odd as I tried to find the post that I mentioned. Hopefully, someone else remembers the post, but it was a linked Tic-Toc showing a dealer's PDI and the two taillights were obvious. It was only posted in the past few days.

We'll just keep playing on our ice mountian for now.

Did you not see the red crates placed on the one parked Bronco's hood? Maybe (likely) no damage occurred. But still, there should be a bit more care than using another built Bronco as a workbench.

I saw it, I saw it

Just heard shortage on headlamps too.

Headlamps use LEDs... a type of semiconductor, aka chip. Heard that one OEM was reverting back to halogen in order to make vehicles. Ugh...

I didn't leave. I finished my business and then left.

So what’s the scoop MIC replacements? I see a few soft tops as well. Waiting on chips or tow packages? Just curious if we have any insight…. Thanks for the video

Thank you. I know I wasn't making it up. Not sure why I couldn't find it.
