ICYMI: Watch the Bronco Celebration Video from Ford

That's always been the case, and for whatever reason the 2 door MIC tops are more complex to produce. Output of 2dr tops will lag behind 4dr tops, neither coming fast, as the largely new production staff at Webasto settles in.

Good to hear that they've got people at least. Can't run the machines without bodies.

and chug every time they mention how awesome it is to remove the MIC top.

2 door delays are completely due to roof supply issues. More info tomorrow, I'm sure.

I'm just going to start chugging now. Wake me in August.

I wonder if the people with 2 door Broncos that have been set back 2-3 times well be set back anymore! I guess time will tell.

Sending you hugs, brother. We're all in the same boat, err, Bronco.

How screwed are we if a tree falls on our MIC top after delivery? Will we be driving a soft top for 5 years while ford/webasto build and ship us another hard top?

Strategery.

In all seriousness, I have no direct info that OKTB is tied to this release... the dots seem to connect okay.

I was told to expect OKTB as soon as last Fri/Today. The final hold up - the closure line sequence timing - was apparently addressed last week. If we don't hear of it being issued tomorrow, I'll be concerned if news doesn't come this week.

As an aside, late news tonight that the 2 door floorpan issue has been addressed with modifications to the transport racks. 2 door delays are completely due to roof supply issues. More info tomorrow, I'm sure.

Also, I can't be the only one that sees 'OKTB", and immediately thinks of this:

I was hoping it would be the first one off the line. Lots of different auto makers have made videos of first models rolling off the line.

If it is the first production Bronco rolling out the door...

I will be bawling like a baby.

Ok... I will fix it.

Step by Step had been on a loop in my brain.

It’s 100% going to be in CGI. It’s going to have multiple colors that I can’t get. It’s going to be towing a 10,000# trailer.
All while wearing 37’s and no lift.

With my luck it will be my Bronco coming down the line and falling off like the TRX

I’m looking forward to seeing the mod center. That will be awesome!

You have to drink every time they mention a component that's a 'deadly sin', and chug every time they mention how awesome it is to remove the MIC top.

I'm at work. I can't follow this directive or I'd:
A) get fired
B) end up in a Patron-induced psycho world full of paranoia and boisterous laughter at inappropriate times
C) drink enough cheap PBR to float a Nimitz-class Carrier.

And I don't even drink any more, so chances are I'd fall into a shame-filled snooze-fest in my own urine before the end of the video.
