Surprise Bronco Reveal Update: Tires and Wheels Mounted and Balanced!

[Wanted33]

Michael, prayers sent for your wife's continuing health. And, a little side one that her Bronco will show up just at the right time.

BTW, I think the wheels will look great with the AMB. And, even if they don't quite hit the mark I will bet that she won't care at all.

We have the same build week.

Ford, if you’re listening and need to move his build in front of mine to help him out, by all means move it.

Good Luck

Come on @Ford Motor Company If there is one reservation to get right, its this one. Make it happen!

Cool wheels by the way.

Please don't misinterpret my "love" reaction.
There is no emoji for "Hey man, I send you all the support and good things I can, and am sad to hear this."

For those who hadn't seen my original posts:

I mentioned in a different thread, the backstory of my Bronco purchase. My wife of 24 years is a breast cancer survivor. It was a brutal fight, she is 6 years out and is doing mostly OK. If you are married to any cancer survivor, you know the battle. When they announced the Bronco build my wife fell in love with the truck. We looked it over online and after some discussion we decided it was too impractical and too expensive. What I didn't tell her was that I made a reservation on day two for a two door Outer Banks in Antimatter Blue. The 2.7 and a few other extras including a roof rack for her Stand Up paddle boards and Kayaks. She works in the ski industry and spends the summer paddling with girlfriends, some who are in cancer treatment, some who are cancer survivors. A lot of them look up to her for all she's been through, for advice and support. She's been driving minivans for the last 20 years hauling our kids around and she thinks she is getting a used Honda CRV in the fall. If the truck arrives in time I'm giving it to her on our anniversary in August. She deserves to drive something cool, something to make her feel young again. I'm making arrangements to do the reveal at the top of our ski mountain after a chairlift ride to the top. If you know us, mums the word. I'll be sure to video the event and share it here. All this waiting is so brutal, thought I'd share something fun with others who are also looking forward to the day their new ride arrives.

Update! Fingers crossed as far as I can tell she doesn't know its coming. The ski mountain gave me permission to drive it to the top to do the reveal there. Our current build week is August 16th, praying. Bought wheels and tires 4 months ago, had them mounted and balanced at our single bay garage in town today. Hoping this blue is the same blue as the flake in Antimatter Blue. Or close. Didn't want to wait and discover they weren't available. I also recieved my thanks for waiting patiently sticker and poster from Ford today. I really hope the schedule stays, this is killing me. Hope you all are well and more are recieving their trucks and build dates, PEACE Michael

If I had one wish. I wish I could share how all the frustration of waiting washes away when all you people reply the way you do to our story. Its a big deal. Thank you. Its a really big deal.

All my best to you and your wife. What a lovely bit of joy you’re bringing into what is a long hard battle. My partner just finished her second surgery and is recovering well. All will work out and mostly because you’re making it happen. Much respect!
BTW it looks like we have pretty much the same build. Hope we cross paths one day

 

[802Bronco]

Praying you get one.

Bumping this for Ford's attention.

Awesome story my friend...glad your wife is a survivor! My dad currently in his own battle so very relatable...cancer sucks.

Best of luck to your dad. My family came down from Quebec and lived in Van Buren and Lubec. Some are still there.
