Yep as shown. I'll have it rolling on bronze Method 701's

Sharp!! Those wheels are the prefect contrast.

We're going down the assembly line together lads.

Fill non code 99 orders first, then 21 orders pushed to 22 through constraints, then start 22 orders code 99 first.

I don't disagree with you, but think it is unlikely Ford is interested in tracking this. When orders are re-entered as 2022 there will probably be no history of prior 99. But if mansquatch/mod is late availability, then the original non-99ers may get an early bite at the 2022 apple before the early-res 99's get built.

Can whoever has access to the daily/weekly production numbers continue to post them for this of us towards the end of the line?
It help with the wait.

Dayshift body shop knocked out 340+ Broncos today on their own. Final Assembly was scheduled to move 310 across both shifts today.

I only have one source there so I'm reluctant to say (as not to out them)... but things are still not great. Moving in the right direction, but still not great.

They switched to making soft tops...

Are they staffed on their own now?...or still having Ford operators help out?

completely understand!

not sure you can answer this one but do they have a timeframe yet as to when they think they will be in a "good place" production wise for the tops?

Line workers are all Webasto and most are newer hires, hence the slower pace. IF Ford factories have more shutdowns this summer I could see those guys heading over and putting in a few weeks.

Target to be mostly on top of things (no pun intended) is late July. Otherwise, the Aug 2nd full speed Bronco production balance is going to be WAY outside of expected roof style demand.

thanks for the feedback. I've got a July 15 2-door build...discounting for a minute the disappointing production volume, do you think the MIC product they are producing is up to standard?

100%. The team is NOT going to let this thing go out with issues like that. If they were less particular, we'd all have our trucks by now.
