Reservation Hysteria Week 2: Hype Train Derailed?

[LemonShark]

Greetings guys and gals,

Last week I asked how ya'll were feeling a week after your reservation. Well, here we are kids, week two. Lots of obsessive chatter about trims. Lots of nitpicking spy photo. Lots of endless conjecture regarding what is, what could be, and what should be. From 3500 - 7500 - c'mon! So, as we've survived week two, I have a question and a request.

Question: Are you still pumped? Do you have your Bronco tramp stamp tattoo artist on speed dial? Bronco posters over your bed? Have you already used a Sharpie to draw a Bronco on your kid's Jeep PowerWheel? Ya' still stoked AF!?!?!?

Request: Share something positive about your week. Tell me a good story. It seems 90% of the posts are trying to come up with reasons to be worried, stressed, or angry about the Bronco. Lets get excited again, ya know, like we were wayyyy back in the olden days: two weeks ago.

Me? If you care, I'm still excited. Yes, some of you guys gave me things to worry and obsess about (ADM X-PLAN WTF), but overall, I'm still watching every YouTube video, and I'm spending way too much time on here - which, frankly, has been very mentally healthy. So thank you internet strangers for that!

Positives - Getting to be a father to my awesome kids makes everything else in the world seem a little less troublesome, and imagining the top-off, doors-off, Bronco shenanigans I'll get to share with them keeps me stoked.

Two weeks down, only like 50 or 60 or 70 or . . . to go!

I've been waiting for years for the Bronco to come back so I am still excited. This past week I have been watching videos, reading articles, and contemplating what packages I am going to put on mine. Plus day dreaming of driving with the top off and the wind in my hair.

Ford should have had the website ready and ready to build at launch day. A lot of this hype will fizzle out by the time actual orders take place. Ford has always been behind in their strategy

Been watching alot of overlanding vids and dreaming big!

My wife and I have daily meetings about what options I changed my mind to. Sooo, yep, super excited.

I appreciate this post. Thank you for the fresh perspective. This website is a rollercoaster and gives me anxiety. One moment relief, then overwhelming frustration.

Yes, still psyched. Just need to keep my mind on other things so I can stop refreshing this site every few minutes.

Been working on the bike a lot lately. Thinking about putting the 1275cc motor in it to take it from 50hp to 120hp. Haha

I'm still feeling mostly positive. I hadn't planned on buying anything until around Jan-Feb anyway, so a few more months won't make much difference. There are a few things I wish they would have added, but probably not deal breakers. I'll know for sure within 2 minutes of actually sitting in it.

Been trail riding on my bike to keep me busy. I'm still super excited

Super excited, refreshing this site way to often! Waiting for the configurator, then I’ll build it’s thousand times.

I'm still super pumped, went camping last weekend, got into some spots with my truck that made me think "geez, this is going to be so much easier once I get my Bronco"

 

[WildTrak]

Does visiting the forum 99 times per day count?

I think I have chosen a color..... never had blue so antimatter it is! Black Top... come on light color vinyl interior!!!

 

[GetBucked]

Still pumped! I am spending entirely too much time on here reading the same threads, but learning is occurring and I love it!
Im also finding myself daydreaming about driving it in every season here in Michigan and it’s amazing.
Can’t wait to finalize my order and get it submitted!

Definitely not as hyped as before, but I see no reason to hop off now until another car gives me a damned good reason to.
Did go to the beach yesterday and couldn’t stop thinking about cruising up and down PCH in the Bronco with some surfboards in it.

Yea I am still super pumped. I know what packages I'm going to get. My internal battle is 2-door or 4-door and what color.

2-door looks so much better and will be slightly better offroad.

But the 4-door looks like a tank and more practical for a daily driver. I also like that the doors can fit in the back.

My head wants a 4 door but my heart wants a 2 door.

As for colors, cactus grey is my favorite but it appears to be everybody else's favorite too. Seems *too* popular.

Area 51 could be cool but also too popular.... and the other two I like are antimatter blue and race red.

If a white top is indeed an option then I lean more towards cactus grey or antimatter blue.

Black top then race red or area 51.
