🛠 1/3/22 Build Week Group

[Cat]

On mobile it should have an extra box/option that’s not available on the normal computer browser that says make an account or sign up. The system and process is a little wonky.


I was going to order the door sill plates, but they weren’t available as an option to add on in the build system for 22 so I told my dealer just to wait (vs worrying about finding it via parts and ordering it)… I just bought the clear/Rock Guard Stickerfab PPF stickers for it. Much cheaper. Doesnt look as fancy but covers a bit mor of the door sill especially rear doors (where my kids will be climbing all over getting in and out), lol.




I ordered these too and have them waiting to go on! I know they had a TSB put out where they “fixed” the rubbing Spots by putting some soft touch material, like little felt things or something but IMO you cant have too much protection in a high rub area. I think this is a must for soft tops.


Mine is a high package, selectable 4x4 OBX And mine moved out pretty quick. Built to shipped in <48 hours. Are all of you lux or mixed? Maybe 4A parts? Im not sure this is related unless these trims have something in common that is in short supply.



AFAIK they are not stuck in “QC”. My understanding is there are a few various items that become short supply (this changes probably daily) and the vehicles on the line that come to get those products installed, if they aren’t available basically get built without them and set aside to wait for said parts unless its a part that they can’t progress past and then this will cause line slow downs. They keep the line moving if they can, and those vehicles pulled get those parts installed whenever they get the opportunity to go install them. There are also times where the vehicles are built then a certain lot of products has to be rechecked because there could have been a vendor issue or just verification. This also doesnt happen right away as they have to designate manpower/time to go find them and check those parts. This could be considered a QC purgatory I suppose.

I know it sucks but at the end of the day they Want those vehicles going out perfect, and are definitely making sure each one thats leaves IS perfect.

I don’t work there so take what I say with a grain of salt but this is pretty standard production process as it is, and these are vehicles so have extra high standards to be met.

Dont worry your babies will come soon!

Thnx, @Jazer. My WT is with a LUX pkg.

Let’s be real. I’m weighing heavily on the “estimated” part of that. If it makes it here before the end of the month I’ll be shocked.

That’s what my dealer told me too. He said not to get too fixated on the estimated date because rail has been pretty reliable, but the transport from the rail yard to dealership not so much. I’m setting my sights on a Valentine’s Day delivery. I just need it here for my next Disney trip

Just saw a thread where someone is having issues with their drivetrain and Ford won’t warranty it because they have a leveling kit on it…

Something to keep in mind if you are planning to keep warranty. Now im even wondering If they will pull something like that due to upgrading from OE tire size!

I saw this video and it made me feel better about maybe not installing the roll bar vinyl/PPF, but I still may do it.

@Alvin Olson need a train update plz. You’re my only hope!

yeah I plan on leaving my car stock through warranty for this very reason . Later, post warranty, as things need to be replaced I’ll start upgrading. That’s why we decided to go with the sas package so it’s more than capable of what we do

Oh hell yeah! That’ll be where mine stops it’s train journey. If I could just stop going back and forth between Illinois and Indiana….

Good to watch, thanks for sharing. I feel like I have so much stuff to sit down with my husband to watch so that he knows all the proper techniques too, lol. He wont drive it much but Im afraid he will will do something silly because he hasn’t obsessed over it all like I have. Lol.

I figured for 25$ the pff for those bars is totally worth it for peace of mind. Especially with said husband.

I'm wondering if our purgatory party is just built vehicles waiting on chips or some other component that spans various builds. My build is in my signature.

I noticed the modules that have popped are BCE, I don't have a single PCM module that's come online. Could this be something?

For those with shipped Broncos, do you have PCM modules?

Also, a friendly reminder to update the spreadsheet.

Illinois Indiana route is crazy, It is forward progress, but moves from side to side of state lines.

You tell him that I give you full permission to drive your baby however you see fit.

I don’t know what’s going on up there. Yesterday it left blue island at 0700 and went to Gibson 1300, and this morning it says it’s been delivered to interchange at Blue Island at 0100 but no updates since.

I was in love with the sill plates and they were gone when I finally ordered too. I just really wanted the bronco logo so when I found them I jumped on them.

I saw a video on YouTube where the pads weren’t scratching but just leaving some kind of gunk so I still feel like it was money well spent lol.

It’s something like that, like I stated.

I only have BCE modules, nothing under PCM.
