Sell it, so you can start over ?

Same boat here (albiet, much shorter wait). March 2022 pickup. I'm still on 6g multiple times a day, but now I'm obsessing over things I can add to the rig (skid plates, trail lighting, etc), maintenance, and more than anything... enjoying it on the trails. Cheers!

This is it right here! Awesome!

That’s what we call masochism my man. That will be covered in the second newsletter.

Yes, it's a long journey with ups and downs along the way! My wait was over a year and a half......

So now what? I waited just over a year, complained (quite a bit), got a build week, obsessed tracking it, bumped a week, obsessed about if I was going to get bumped again, got a VIN then a window sticker, went into production, blend day arrived and then it was obsessing over status and tear tag, then it all went to built and delivered in a matter of 3 days. Blend 10/24, delivered 10/25 (to dealer).

What am I supposed to do now to waste most of my day? I know some of you are/were as obsessed as me.

I waited 2 1/2 years to get my wild-track. Picked it up last week. It was a very surreal moment but worth the wait. I got everything on it that I requested. It performs as advertised. I need no therapy because I am high on adrenaline.

And by therapy sessions I mean ordering shit for my Bronco. Then you get that fix of waiting for that stuff to be delivered.

This

you could also plan a trip out west, but be prepared, that will eventually result in post trip depression

This post makes me feel better I was beginning to think something was wrong with me

Well that's one way to pull the pin and roll a live grenade into a room!

In my case: Blend 9/13, Modules 9/15, "Built" 9/28... Now it's sitting in Michigan probably until a bunch of MY2023's get delivered. I was patient before Blend. Now that it exists somewhere, the fact that it is just sitting somewhere waiting to get recklessly loaded onto a train is getting to me.

Now you obsess over all of the different things you can add to your Bronco and build by looking at the threads and youtube videos and see what everyone is doing and which of the different manufacturer items are best. Example:
Floor Mats
Cargo Mat
Tailgate Table
Hood Struts
Fog and Driving Lights
Ditch Lights
Trail Radio
Sunglass Holder
Cup Holders
Dog Carrier
Roll Bar Protection Film
Glovebox organizer
Center Console Organizer
Shortie Antenna
Winch
Sunshade
Roof Rack
Air Compressor
Recovery Kit

Start installing all the parts you've bought, complain about many of them for one reason or another, look for more.........lol.

I can't help you yet...I am still in the obsessive compulsive track my bronco stage.... (It's on a railcar just outside of Chicago, slowly moving toward St Paul) I am assuming that once mine arrives, I will spend my free time driving it. (Or accessorizing...)

I just drove mine off the lot about an hour ago. You're right, the adrenaline rush is amazing.

HAHAHAHA , Yes the five stages of PBDS. First it's the long grueling wait, then it's the rush of ownership, then comes that nagging, hollow feeling that you should be waiting for something, but you can't figure out what it is... step 4....... to be cont'd.
