🛠 12/20/21 Build Week Group

[deejay08]

So now that this is looking like it might be a reality, how many of you are interested in meeting up to explore some minor 4 wheeling when they finally all get here. I'm not ready for anything serious yet as I. really don't want to beat it up too much too soon...but it is not just going to drive over speed bumps!

I am also down.. Mine is en route somewhere but should be at Kearny by mid-late Feb. I'd like to checkout big bear and some spots in death valley.

Your Bronco looks amazing! Congratulations

Thank you. Uncle Bob and the entire team at Pioneer Ford in Bremen, GA are some of the best people I know.

Cleared out a bunch of boxes of bronco crap out of the guest room, wife is happy. Mostly easy bolt on stuff. The pocket lights in the bumper were simple, but feeding the wires through the bumper without removing the front skid plate took a little patience. I used the MandR lights that you wire to two switches, one for yellow, and one for white. I know they’re not as nice as the diode dynamics or Baja designs, but I think they look cool.

Does your PALS website show a dealer or just blank/null? Mine updated today with the dealer name and my EDD is 02/05 (status is still pending).

Where in Pittsburgh? I grew up in the South Hills.

still says null.. and pending. I work right in the south hills. Im from the Greensburg area. Small world.

PSA to those putting a tow hitch (ford assembly with wiring) on after delivery... Just got a call from the dealership and it is more work than they expected. Originally told 1/2 day of work and (not totally sure when they started since I dropped it off last night ) but it most likely will not be done by the end of the day. They will update in a couple hours.
This is a pretty busy dealership and they have had many Broncos come through before mine but I must be the first to add the tow as they underestimated the amount of work it was going to take. FYI I miss it already since it finally was warmer than 20F today on my day off.

My EDD is unchanged but tracker on phone says “empty-arrived at customer location” so it’s chilling there waiting! Seriously cannot wait for it to make the last small trip to the dealership. So ready

This happened to me three weeks ago and mine is still sitting there. I wouldn't get your hopes up until it arrives at your dealer or local rail yard.

Yep, me too. My mods popped weeks ago, but still “in production”.

 

[RyanP]

That sucks. The waiting game continues...

It’s still progress and if they are closer to solving the latest issue, you’re at least one step closer.

Hoping there’s a bunch of broncos running around San Diego soon. There’s a lot of you in this build week. Seemed like there were also quite a few from New Jersey who all got theirs around the same time too. After all of our speculation about which trims were being built first and which options were holding things up, it kind of seems like they clumped them together by destination.

Yeah I think that is pretty accurate! Glad to see all of us getting our Broncos soon/now. You loving yours? How’s the green in person?!

I took most of the day off to bolt crap to it. There’s all kinds of cool features I’m learning about it, and still plenty of stuff I can’t figure out. It’s Alexa enabled, and I have it signed in to my a amazon acct. Trying to figure out how I can just tell Alexa to start the bronco from inside the house without grabbing the phone and opening the ford pass app (Lazy, I know). Also tried to make a short cut for Siri to do it, but that didn’t work either. There’s probably a way to do it. One thing I thought was cool is that in the little weather app, it will show you satellite type photos showing precipitation and stuff. And I have a daughter turning 16 in July, I noticed there’s a way to limit certain things for a particular key fob, so I can set one up where it won’t go over 70mph, or make it give extra reminders for stuff, etc. Probably won’t do it, that would be kinda dickish.

Had some issues getting Apple car play to work this morning, but it seems fine now even though I didn’t do anything. There’s definitely some stuff I’m gonna want to turn off with forscan, but that shit makes me nervous.

The green looks nice, I’m happy with it. Everyone seems to love it. I have gotten a couple compliments from random people. Apparently there were a ton of people who wanted to buy it while it was sitting on the lot yesterday, even before it got washed. Honestly though, it’s got more gold in it than I would like. It doesn’t really look anything at all like the green from the build and price tool. If I had a chance to see all the colors in person, I think I would have gone with the velocity blue or maybe the hot pepper red, but I’ve never cared much about vehicle colors anyway. This is the first vehicle I’ve ever ordered exactly how I want it. When I’ve picked something off the lot, I am more concerned about the features than the color.

One thing I was disappointed about (not that it was a surprise) is that they didn’t offer ventilated seats. It’s not like it’s a huge luxury anymore, and with as much tech crap as it has with the lux package, seems like they could have added ventilated seats. I do like the interior colors on the wildtrak. There seem to be a lot of people who shit on it here on b6g, but I like it better than any of the other options.

I can’t wait to get it out on some trails, and I’m looking forward to getting its “new shoes”, they should get here in about a week.

That really is a nice color ... I'm a big fan of blue. But honestly I always find something cool about the different colors out there on the Bronco.

I'm not a loud look at me color guy. Usually some shade of Black or White But here is my BRONCO .... had to have this color. I shocked my wife and kids but also surprised myself ....

Right there with you.

Say WHAT????

I just happened to check the tracker again this evening. Could it possibly be happening? I've heard nothing from Ford or the dealer yet.

Totally good points! I was also surprised about no ventilated seats in the Lux package. (All other fords in that price range have it) I’m in the same boat as well in building out to exactly what you want, first time as well. Hopefully in a couple days I’ll see my green machine in person! I’ve been driving my husbands 2014 F150 the past 8 months while he is deployed and I am READY to have my own suv again.

Yesssss!!! Hopefully you get that awesome call sometime tomorrow. Keep us posted!

 

[LokiTheBronco]

Right there with you.

The bronco is the ONLY car I’ve considered in Orange or Green honestly! I like that ford went a little more “wild” with the palette of colors. Just wish they thought harder on interiors to match
