[Panmort]

I got the cheap $50 sets from ford and will just be cutting a hole in them for the time being.

Yeah I may do this for now.

That happened to me. It was just systems catching up.

I am pretty sure that in a few hours, tomorrow at the latest, you'll be permanently in built.

Finally got to meet my baby girl!

You also are, perfectly suited, to your Bronco!! That 2 DR looks AWESOME!!! CONGRATULATIONS

 

[Cat]

Come have a margarita, we’ll make it strong!

What are you having for Super Bowl ?

 

[nfearno34]

What have y’all bought for dogs rear seat cover wise and harnessing?

We have a Duluth trading rear seat cover for the dogs. It’s waterproof and has been great to have for our other vehicles. Going to buy another when we get Bertie. Has zip up sides too so contains fur etc. plus when we lay seats flat it covers the whole space.

Guys…..

Guys….


Nearly two hours without a post on this thread.

Where’s our pride??

Edited:

@daddycreswell beat me by a few seconds!

After I got off my horse, we drove down to the rail yard to stalk our Bronco. Film at 11.

I don't care if its cliché or no one else cares: It was on day 578 from reservation to signing the final paperwork. I am so grateful for the 1/3 Build Week group and hope to be *almost* as active on the forum now that she's home than when I was only dreaming of her every night. This thing is everything I wanted it to be and more. I can't wait to start making her more one-of-a-kind and learning tricks, tips and trails from all you fine folks. I've said it before but from the bottom of my heart, thank you for the support over the last many months. Its most likely that more members of this forum than less actually have their Broncos and I know what its like watching everyone else get picked for dodgeball and you're stuck on the sideline. This was a bittersweet day for sure and it still doesn't feel real.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk lol.

Hey J.J.,

Thanks for writing this! Its good to have this group for support, comraderie, experianced tips and tricks.

Your new Bronco and you look fabulous together. Great pics!

Progress! Finally at the dealer!!

Beautiful! This is ours exactly (x/4 the wheels, it looks like)

So it appears I may have misread the trackers and my Bronco could still be in Richmond, CA. I don't really know. It was "released to the customer" at Richmond, CA on 2/6 but I haven't had any other information beyond seeing the "inactive" status in united road for Benicia, CA.

And my EDD has moved back out to 2/17.

"Customer" must mean the dealer. We drove to the rail yard yesterday. Report later...

I called husky they said they recommend putting them inside the house upside down overnight before use and that should fix it.

Said I could put a little heat on the bottom as they are laying upside down.

I’m gonna try that.

Well...

Husky's recommendation appeared to have worked.....left them upside down in the house, and reinstalled them, much better fit.

So my husband, in a rare fit of enthusiasm for our Bronco-to-be, insisted we drive down to the rail yard to try to spot our rig. Armed with early reconnaissance from Google Earth, some high power binoculars, and a big telephoto lens, we cruised down near San Jose. After we got kicked out of the approach alley by a nasty, piggy-eyed, hulk of a UP gooness, we drove around the permitter, searching.

Man, it was hot! We saw lots of Chevy's, GMCs, Nissans, and a few Fords but no bright speck of green that might have been our "Steamboat." Of note, there were 100 or so Teslas being actively loaded and leaving the lot on big white convoy trucks that said "Tesla, Inc" on their doors! Leave it to Mr. SpaceX Musk to make it happen. We never did find our baby--hopefully s/he got loaded before baking too much longer in the hot sun.

So with nods to Cat and Jimmy Buffet:

Wasted Away....

Obsessed with the trackers
Like Soviet hackers
We’re checking our VIN about ten times a day
They get up our hopes, then
They jerk us around when
Each time that we look there’s another delay!

Wasted away again in rail yard limbo-ville
Searchin’ for ED’s that won’t tun out wrong
Some people claim the pandemic’s to blame
But we know
It’s been Ford all along.

The angst is contagious.
And this is outrageous!
It's the worst cluster-shuck that we’ve ever seen.
A shortage of truckers?
Those lame mother$#!ers!
If Elon can do it, why can’t Mike Levine?

Wasted away again in rail yard limbo-ville
Searchin’ for why all’s ground to a halt
Some people claim that FoMoCo's to blame
While our babes
Bake out on the asphalt.

I checked on the middle latches for the soft top. I’m pretty sure the passenger side wasn’t fully latched so I fixed it. I haven’t gotten to highway speeds but it does sound like the noise is better now.

Welp, I guess I’m done checking. It flipped BACK to IN PRODUCTION!?!

Wait, what?????

 

[nfearno34]

Wait, what?????

Yeah, it’s moved back and ford from in production to built about four times today. IM NOT checking again someone else said this happened to them too. I HOPE it’s not just a toddler playing with their parents keyboard
