What is this slop???

[RedHotFuzz]

What, the seam...looks normal to me?

Not the seam itself but the fact the paint is dripping off it like a candle.

Don't let the door hit your behind on your way out! lol

I can't even be mad at your unoriginal statement because you're a 2-door loser like me. We must stick together.

Three weeks of owning my Bronco, and I LOVE the interior. I really don't get the gripes at all, but to each his own.

That looks exactly like my brother’s truck after he took the trim off to install rails.

I wonder if it is supposed to look like that or if they just didn’t have the plastic trim pieces at time of build. Hopefully the latter.

EDIT— Just looked at pics I took of my dealer’s demo unit. It looks exactly the same, I’d be lying if I said I noticed it at the time.

Wranglers aren't even that bad, from the ones I've owned and seen.

As for the trim pieces, not on all models, just like Wranglers. I think rubicons and Willys only have the pinch seam covers. Someone mentioned earlier that BD/BL only had them. Not sure though.

My local dealer finally got their mannequin (Wildtrack in Cactus Gray) so the wife and I went to check it out (no test drive allowed though ). I was impressed overall. Yes, the gripes about the interior plastics (and some of the exterior plastics) are spot-on. Also the cargo area is shorter than I expected. Bummer. But what alarmed me the most was this debacle:

That painted edge looks like my Pinewood Derby car when I was a Cub Scout and way too impatient with the spray paint can. I've owned plenty of vehicles with an uncovered bottom edge but none that looked like this. The picture doesn't even do it justice - it looks far worse than this in the flesh. I should have taken a closeup pic of it. It looks like it's melting. I hope this isn't normal for Ford? (I've never owned the brand.) Glad I'm getting the Black Diamond with the rock rails.

We had “ Cub Mobiles” when I was a scout. They were budget soap box derby racers which we ran down a selected street on race day. This was back in the day when people could do exciting things. We were allowed to risk our young lives for the aura of glory! BTW, I didn’t win a spot on the podium but my Dad did build me a nice cub mobile which won best looking car 1968. Thanks Pop.

I've never owned a Ford before either and I'm slowly but surely realizing why that is.

Wrong board for that talk, back to Audizine or Fortitude with you.

Wow that’s what we call the Carl Lewis effect.

To be honest, the paint does not bother me. The pinch welds and mounting holes do however give it an unfinished appearance. Given these holes are already there, it would seem like a really easy place to put some piece of trimwork, maybe something that matched the plastic on the fenders. On the OBX, something to match the step. Hopefully the aftermarket will come up with something. Doesn't change my overall opinion in the least though, amazing truck.

Check out the 'Trail Armor by Lund" in accessories. (sorry I couldn't find the link). I thought about it but went with the Rock Rails through flip for a few bucks more.

Do you really think I’m the only first time Ford buyer here? We are here and we are strong. Also, what is Fortitude? Lol

Probably intentional to make you want the rock rails ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lol, should have read "fourtitude" , another audi forum. I had a couple of cars myself previously that drove me to those, and vwvortex. Glad to be in line for my bronco though!

Apparently its dead. It was the sister to the VW Vortex, for Audi.....

Back in my open downpipe, 1.8T B5A4Q Days......

Where else would you learn how to solider a broken wire in an ABS module?
