Ok. Caught up on the thread, checked my status.

Guess what? Nuthin' changed. So, i know you are all waiting for...

Today's Purgatory Party Sad Song. Today's song is from our Bronco's perspective:

<inspired by John Denver>

All my tires are mounted
I'm ready to roll
I'm parked outside in this old field
I wish they'd put me on a truck or train
"But the dawn is breakin'"
It's freezin' cold
I'm left waitin'
This is gettin' old
Any longer and my battery will be drained

So track me and look for me
Dealers they don't know a thing
Cause I'm freezin' on Ice Mountain
Don't know when I'll be rollin' home
Oh Ford, you got to let me go

Well I hate the wait It's long and tough
They say I'm built but not enough
Just one more part, it'll be here really soon
I'm missin' a chip, oh where can it be
It's so boring here in Purgatory
Why can't you just come and set me free

So track me and look for me
Dealers they don't know a thing
Cause I'm freezin' on Ice Mountain
Don't know when I'll be rollin' home
Oh Ford, you got to let me go

Where oh where, can our Broncos be?

I'm not a professional by any means, but using a clay bar isn't difficult just time consuming. Just keep everything well lubricated with some quick detailer and you should be good to go!

Looks like Ice Mountain date are returning to normal!

Rail dust/clay bar is already on the OCD...

I haven't read it lately I just know it is going to be given to the dealership.
Thanks for putting it together!!

Tracker site hardly works for me anymore but it did this time. Maybe they set limits per day by IP lol. Still no change

Clay bar is easy.. just some rules.
Step 1 is to do a complete washing 1st, no need to dry.
Step 2 is to use an iron remover like IronX or Meguiar's Iron Removing spray.
If it falls on the ground, throw it in the bin.
Keep is well lubricated with detail spray.
Don't get in a hurry, you cant really mess up but you can get messy if you use it on non painted surfaces.

Clay Bar will remove your wax so be prepared to go back over with simple spray on wax.

There are lots of great videos on how to, so don't take my list as verbatim.

And depends on the grade of clay you use. For best results, machine polish /paint correction after.

@Jazer You need to hurry up and get yours, I'm trying to live through you by seeing a Velocity Blue 4 door with NC plates

What is your Estimated Delivery Date...that did not get pushed back to April, May, June or July, did it?

That is the same EXACT line of BS i got from my GM yesterday. Said he had other Broncos with holds, not mine. Said when there is a hold, they are flagged red on the screen. I asked, what color is mine? "Brown".

Now THAT'S some BS! (Actually, brown means still at MAP)

It is total BS! So what the heck is up with my Bronco???

I've had mine going on 3 weeks and the back door still shows it as built.

700 pages. We wrote ourselves a novel.

An epic fantasy novel at that.
