Q&A and Pics From Bronco Super Celebration West – Day 2 (by irv0735)

[BroncBro]

Nate, 2 short questions for clarification of already answered questions.

1. The badge design is final.
Does this mean the exact emblem as far
as the size and if it’s maybe going to be
more 3D?

2. Velocity Blue availability.
Does that mean it will be available only
For the B&P or will it actually have a
Normal availability for delivery?

Thank you Nate!!!!

You're a goddamn hero, @irv0735. Excellent post yet again.

Too bad about the badlands (etc) badges being final. Really just looks like a sticker slapped on there. Metal finish embossed could be a lot nicer. Maybe that's an aftermarket opportunity.

Thanks very much for that side shot of the steering wheel. From the side it looks alright but from the front that center piece looks god awful. Another opportunity for an aftermarket swap maybe, since it looks pretty detachable.

Anyway thanks again. Phenomenally helpful and informative.

He still said the orders would be December (roughly) and production "spring".

So orders will be December 31st and production will start June 18th lol

I too like the side shot of the steering wheel, however, I don't think aftermarket will touch safety airbag equipment.

The airbag reminds me of a go cart foam pad ?

I wonder if the Ford guys there know if there's any events prior to launch planned for the Northeast so us yanks can get a gander. Tennessee is a hike (and also requires me to quarantine for 2 weeks if I go)

Steering wheel swaps are old hat in the aftermarket.

He was very blunt when I asked about the badge. Said what we see is to production spec (almost seemed like it was a sore topic for him).

I understood the VB availability as no delay in manufacturing compared to the other colors...Of course we do have to be careful with interpretations, someone even said, "Oh really?" and he confirmed "yes, available at the same time as the other colors".

I feel like you've given us more info and quality pictures in the last couple days than we have seen for the last month and it is much appreciated.

I would have asked, why the heck they didn't bring a four door?!

lotta attention being given to a badge that i will be removing with a heat gun....

Thanks again

Any chance of asking if the rubberized floors will be exclusive to the BD/BL/FE? Really hoping we can go about in the OB and WildTrak and not worry about drenching carpet.

Yeah, quick search shows plenty of older model Jeep steering wheel swaps, but none that I could find for the newer JL. New modern equipment is not as easy to swap.

They have indicated (but not confirmed) that these will be making more public appearances in the coming weeks/months, but they don't know where yet.
