🛠 12/20/21 Build Week Group

[ramblinwreck]

There were lots of compromises, I really liked the Black/Brown interior but wanted a manual. I also wanted SAS but it wasn't until I got bumped to MY22 that I was bale to get that. I wanted Wildtrak trim but couldn't get manual. At the end of the day I was able to build something that worked. Very happy with my BRONCO biggest 'get' was getting SAS in MY22 and having the manual.

Personally, I think you are better off with Badlands instead of Wildtrak with the CO color. That being said, the gloss black trim really does pop on the CO body color.

Holding tight with a 02/10 EDD. I seriously doubt my Bronco will be here in a week since it hasn't shipped yet. The Waiting Game.

 

[Bronco Jim McNulty]

Has it shipped yet?

I have no information that suggests that my Bronco is completely built and shipped. Ford knows exactly what they are doing.

Same here. I don't think I have left the plant yet. Mods popped and SYNC is alive but who knows where it is now. And tracker is not changed to "built."

as folks pointed out on here, ford switched the bumper on the WT more than a year ago from the metal one (what's now called the "capable" bumper) to a plastic one. there is only one upgrade option, to the "modular" bumper, and no option to upgrade to the capable. when i reordered my car last year, i didn't upgrade to the modular because (1) i didn't love the way it looked online, and (2) the bumper that Ford displays on their B&P is the capable bumper (even though the vehicle actually comes with the "standard"). to make it more annoying and confusing, every subsequent image Ford has posted since of the WT since I re-ordered it has clearly shown the capable bumper. while the standard looks better in person than online, i've decided that the only thing worse than not getting what you want is getting ALMOST what you want...thus, i've ordered a replacement from Ford. apparently, it may not take 3 years to arrive...we'll see.

here's a pic of the B&P as they're currently displaying the WT stock bumper...as the capable, not the standard (which is actually what you get):

You placed an order for the capable bumper? How much does that cost?

same here. not sure that it matters, but after they moved my EDD to 2/10, i noticed this morning that the date on the bottom of my window sticker now reads 2/2/22. keeping my fingers crossed as usual.

My .02,

I’m not super handy; the Curt hitch took me 16 minutes to install. It’s $110. Easily acquired.

That's good to hear, I'm not the handiest myself but can make due. There are a few videos on yt of same hitch going on so I'll probably reference those. Unfortunately mine has been collecting dust in the garage for a month now, along with some ditch lights. All i need is a BD to install it on, let's go Ford!!

Same here Got the Curt hitch, Ditch lights, Tailgate Table, and 2" rough country kit sitting in a corner in the garage just waiting...if my bronco gets pushed out again I might just have to buy something else to make myself feel better

Come on man, that check for babies has to be California thing?

Maybe. I haven’t seen anyone else mention it, but you can turn it off in settings. It does say when you turn it off that it will remind you twice a year and ask if you would like it turned back on.

Me EDD went from 2/6 to 2/8 overnight. Just a slight bump, let's see where it goes from here.

This is my current guide on the Bronco status. I've come up with this based on many phone calls, and posts on this site. I will say this is best for us mid Dec to current build dates, but I can't say this advice is 100% accurate. Here's how we have the best understanding of where we stand.

Our status shows that we're in production, and we show an EDD
- The EDD is really the estimate for when our Bronco's will be completed at the factory. The CS people might show a range (mine is 2/8-2/14), that date will change (the Thursday?) after it's produced.

Call CS and ask if you have a chip issue. Builds with chip issues are being marked as such. Ask the CS person to give you the date range, not the later date only. The reason for this is I was told that "I go back into blend on the 8th and it should be completed by the 14th (see above.) Once completed, the real "Dealer to me" EDD will get updated.

I'm sorry but as a parent and I know because there was a tragic case locally, you should not need an alarm to remind you not to leave your babies in the car. WTF!

I’m a parent too, and I have never killed my daughter. Not even once. I’ve read similar stories too, and wondered what kind of idiot forgets about their infant in the car.
