🛠 12/20/21 Build Week Group

[Ohenry]

Nice! Mine shows up on here with a load number and my dealer's name. That's exciting, especially considering the tracker still shows me as "In Production."

Mine did the same from 12/6-12/31 while it was in production and after. I call my dealer which had no update then I called Ford and they said your Bronco is produced. At the end of every year the head office takes 2 weeks for Christmas and New Years and we got caught in that mess! 100%

Similar builds and I'm just over the border in Greenville!

I do know I'm going with the BFG KO2s for sure because I can get a discount on them.

You can never go wrong with KO2s!

once we all have our rigs I really want to get a NC/SC group together for a day of fun. This is my first off-road rig coming from sportier cars but I really want to go all in on off-roading and whatnot.

Yes, that would be awesome! I'm not super experienced, but I've had a couple Jeeps that I've done some mild off-roading in. Will definitely be doing more in the Bronco.

Anyone with a non-sas that plans on upgrading tires? I’m considering upgrading to on/off-road AT tires and bumping up to a 33inch on my big bend. Most of my driving will be commuting on road with the occasional camping trips and upstate NY snow storms. Anyone have any recommendations? I’ve heard good things about Cooper AT3’s and of course KO2’s

I have 315/75/16 Cooper AT3s on my 21 Big Bend. Previously had the same tire on a LX570. They're very friendly on the streets - minimal noise, great grip in the rain, long life and do well on gravel, hard packed dirt, and some mud in my experience. No experience with snow so I can't help you out there

I’m non-Sas base and looking to put 285/75-16 (31.8”) Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws on the stock steelies. My one concern there is that the width of the rims might mean a higher chance of popping the bead with tires that size—I’ll defer to the pros on that decision.

I’m going with the Falkens after a ton of reading that basically kept me from refreshing trackers constantly…there are a lot of good options out there, but I was looking for an AT tire that had a reputation for being quiet, that didn’t throw a ton of gravel, and that stood the test of time.

There are still a lot of tires that meet those criteria, but ultimately I liked the look of the Falkens (aggressive tread and sidewall, but not TOO aggressive). Plus everyone seemed to have nothing but good things to say about them, which was not the case for some of the other options.

Honorable mention goes to: Continental TerrainContact AT, Nitto Ridge Grappler, Toyo Open Country AT3, and Yokohama Geolandar G015.

PS I love the look of KO2s, but when I started digging, a lot of folks said they were noisy, didn’t hold up as well over time, and that basically they don’t make ‘em like they used to.

No useful info on the trackers…mods have not popped….estimated delivery 1/28. I suspect at this time a QC hold for the MIC roof or some issue with TOW package being installed…..I noticed on the spreadsheet that others are in the same boat…

 

[Bdockins]

Who's got parts piling up while they wait for their bronco to arrive? So far I have the following waiting:

Rough Country 2" level kit
Rough Country Tailgate Table
Curt Hitch
Ditch Lights
5 Fuel D681 17x9 +1 offset on Falken Rubitrek 315/70/17

and i have a cart full of accessories for the back seat molle panel (first aid kit, bottle holders etc)

Cool. Which hitch did you go with?
I gotta get onnit

 

[broncoSJ]

It warmed up overnight here in VT, it is a toasty 0 out this morning!

Also, the 1/3 group is catching up, they're only a page behind us

How did this happen?? Do they know they are in a competition with us to reach 300 pages???

 

[broncoSJ]

Has anyone received their Bronco without mods popping and trackers stuck in limbo status? Is there any hope for us with estimated delivery dates in January???

Good info thanks for the input! I’ve heard nothing but good things about the Coopers and they’re a strong contender for my first option.

I also really like the look of Falkens, I’ll definitely dig into that, thanks for the input! I’d love to see them once you get them in!
Talking to some coworkers I’ve heard the same thing about the KO2s which is unfortunate so those might be off the table

Emailed my dealer and called Ford for the update. Spoiler alert, there is no update. In production date still reads 1/3 and the systems show it as having been produced 1/3 with a 0:00 time stamp. Odd given that the other stages have specific, actual times. Guessing that it was built late 2021 and just registered first thing when the systems turned over to 2022. It appears that it's been sitting at the plant and nobody knows why. The EDD is still showing as 1/29, but that seems pretty unlikely if it hasn't been shipped yet as mine is supposed to go via rail. Hopefully we see some movement soon.

Backdoor tracker is the only thing working for me still, and vehicle status code is still PROD 🥲

12/20 Build week, 12/22 in Prod and after 3 weeks still in PROD. I feel your pain

Stuck in Production for 3 weeks now. My dealer is worthless... any ideas guys?

 

[WildTrak]

Mine is also on its way to Granger, do you have an ETA for the end of the month ? If so were probably on the same train.

Yes, its 1/28-2/3 currently. My car number is CTTX609829.

As of this morning its still stuck in 'Gibson IN'.
