ok, i have to tell you it's fun... the only non fun part is the eye roll you get from your wife as you tell her the new location. yeah...they tend not to get to excited about that for some reason. geesh, who knew.

My fiancée thought she was tired of hearing about the Bronco before, hah! Now she'll get morning and evening train updates.

Got any pics of your fabric grab handles? or link? also was curious as i have not heard of the soft top lift assist struts.... seriously looking at those if you can help.

I preordered these: https://www.badbronco.com/product/overlvnd-x-bad-bronco-o-s-strap-sig
They're not rated for a ton of weight, but I want them for a little extra help climbing in and out.

And I also ordered this soft top lift assist: https://www.iagperformance.com/iag-...-system-for-2021-ford-bronco-4-door-soft-top/

The soft top's current trunk lift system is wonky, so I like this option for an easier open/close.

[Kuze]

not an award I wanted :-(

What would suck is if you're 2nd to last out. At that point, I want the award! LOL...

 

[Alvin Olson]

It’s here! Nothing updated so I had no idea it arrived this morning. I’ll get to pick it up tomorrow afternoon.

Beautiful Bronco, Congratz!!

 

[Alvin Olson]

On a less stressful note, I got my rail number so my obsessive tracking can begin.

We need to see your call history at the end of the day, embarrassingly enough, my record was 23 calls in one day :-(

 

[Alvin Olson]

If anyone has to call Norfolk Southern instead of CSX to track their train, the commas in the number to automate the whole call is a little different than CSX. Here's the template:

1-800-635-5768,,,,,,2,,,8849#,,,XXXXXX#,,,,,1

8849 is if your rail car starts with TTGX, and just replace the set of X's with your number.

And it begins....

Yay! Congrats!

NGL I'm a lil salty you left me high & dry all alone out there Haha!

Looks like it’s just me and you at Dixiana

Watching live feed train depots was the pinnacle of my day.
My wife and kids just said, you need help.

I agreed, but they meant mental help, but what I needed were more eyes on the trains..

I'll let you know if I reach your record, haha.

Some Quality issues still recurring with hood dents, snakeskin on MIC tops and panel gap alignments:

[Kuze]

Thats what I thought too. Especially since trackers are not consistent.

It would but it would be unfair. West Coast folks are almost guaranteed to receive their last because we're further away and have a distance advantage and that wouldn't be fair.

How do i get added to this list

I've been avoiding the forums/tracking links because it was driving up my anxiety but i'm back because I apparently like disappointment.

Still showing in PROD as status code, haven't had access to the pizza tracker in 5 days, window sticker was updated last on the 27th which is when my dealer told me it would be going back into production.

I spent some very in depth time on my Bronco this weekend.

I found 1 small paint chip. This could have happened on the road home, very minor and I will use a paint touch up pen.

I found 3 dust inclusions in the clear coat. They will all come out with a minor buffing.

I found 1 paint imperfection on the drivers door bottom edge that has a paint imperfection. It can only be seen with the door removed though. Just a drip.

I found a few small minor scratches on the MIC Hard top back section. Nothing worth any effort as they are on the top and cant be seen.


I noticed wind noise from the hard top in the front panel while driving about 40 MPH. Seems to be coming from the center section where the panels join. While doing our detailing, we used Adams VRT to condition the rubber and clean any dust that might be allowing a bad seal, but it didn't make any difference. I am still researching the root cause and possible solution. Worse case is turn the radio up a bit louder.
As an owner of a stupid loud Gen1 Raptor with a supercharger, long tube headers and a Roush exhaust dumped at the axle, I am fine with.


Zero issues under the hood.

Interior was great, no scuffs, no scratches. I am still figuring out the gadgets.

In total, I am very impressed with my Bronco.


I mean my Wife's Bronco.

I think what's the most absurd is that my family has a personal relationship with the dealership. My mom worked directly for the owner for 15 years. But my mom is also a teacher now and I haven't been able to get ahold of her until about 20 minutes ago.

The dealership has always been one of the most reputable and honest I've known. My family has purchased a number of vehicles from them before- 3 myself.

Anyway. I finally got ahold of my mom (Yeah I'm gonna be 30 and ran to my momma) who was able to get ahold of the owner and according to her he's furious. We've never known him to conduct business that way and he's in complete shock that his sales people are forcing individuals to buy the package or lose their vehicle. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up firing my sales person and the management.

I'll let you know how it plays out. I'm going to head down there this afternoon. I'll upload pics. Thanks for the love guys.

Fret not about calling in the big guns (mom).
All’s fair in love, war and Broncos!
