Looks like more will be abandoning ship...

Bad news about MIC 2.0 quality after a few days

I'm trying to figure out right now is I can use the soft top. I need room for loading tall things, and that dang lower bar the rear window attaches too is the elephant in the room. I'll have to get a better measurement. It's really not the best design out there in my mind. The way things are going I'm beginning to think Ford is trying to screw this up.

Picking up a 981 Cayman S on Friday to help "bridge the gap" until the Bronco is eventually available via Granger. Hard to beat the $2k under invoice deal...

It'll allow me to have some fun and reduce 100% dependency on the 100-series so I can exercise what my wife says I don't have -- patience.

Deferred to MY23 as I have given up. Killing Rapid Red was the final straw. And let's not even start with the ongoing quality issues...

Picking up a new '22 GX 460 in Claret Mica this week. The girlfriend loves the new Eruption Green, and wants it with a white top. She won't be ready to buy it until '23, so really it all kind of works out. I won't be as active here in the future, but I'll pop in from time to time.

It's prob pretty obvious since I'm not really active here anymore lol, but ended up cancelling my day 2 reservation of a base bronco [3 pedals] in favor of yota continuity in my quiver:
4th gen t4r sport (1 owner low miles) to keep his grandpops [1st gen t4r] company :geek:

So, about a month ago decided I was sick of waiting and bought a Wrangler Rubicon. The NEXT DAY I get the email from Ford saying my Bronco will be built...

Luckily the used car market is red hot and VROOM offered me $3k for the Jeep over what I bought it for.

I wondered where you wondered off too my friend. It's good to hear you're still around. The 4 Runner was one of my thoughts at one time, and could very well return as an alternative to the Bronco. I'm sticking with my res for now.

hahah yeah kinda irish good-bye'd the forums, my b.

I think I saw the messy writing on the wall after the long-anticipated debut of the build & price tool, or whatever you'd consider that POS at the time :poop:

It sounds like it's been only a rollercoaster of emotion since then w/ all the recent developments..
BUT, huge kudos to you and everyone else seeing it through, no doubt it will be a badass rig when you guys see it in 5-10 1-2 yrs ;)

I was the same way, so I measured, I don't completely remember exactly what it was, but I want to think 32" or so from the floor to the bottom edge of the soft top when pryed open.
