Had trouble logging in this morning but now that I got in I went back to in production. Did this happen to anyone else today?

@knownhuman and @nfearno34 have had it happen to them, as well.

Moved to built! We can move off of in production!!!

make sure to include the wire harness kit. It is pre cut for the install.
I connected one end to the passenger side and ran the wire up and across the existing loom of wires between the radiator and engine. Then down a few inches to the drivers side the back up on the drivers side fender to the Aux wires. Hopefully this pictures help.

I am so getting these and the light bar when my bonus hits.

You've inspired me to install them myself.

I said the same! I haven't wired anything in a car since my '83 cutlass speakers in high school, so I'm nervous!

Watch their video. It’s helpful. I can also lend a hand with advise if needed.
You will need some wire strippers and a crimping tool. Nothing special. Electrical tape , some zip ties to secure it. A Bic lighter or a heat gun to waterproof the butt connectors.

No insight into the resort. I had never heard of it before we went. We got there on Friday night, spend Saturday at the off roadeo and left early Sunday morning. It would have been the same experience staying a Holiday Inn honestly. Just a place to sleep. You can stay in Austin and make an hour drive in the morning to the event if you like, but for me, it was nice to be 10 minutes from there.

Gotcha. That's almost exactly what we'll be doing. We're driving down from OKC friday night, Off-Roadeo-ing Saturday, and leaving early Sunday. It's definitely the convenience of proximity for us too.

Monday update: I was supposed to pick up my Bronco this Saturday, but was told Friday that though all my mods were done, the shop had set off some kind of dashboard error code and they couldn't get it to clear. They're closed on the weekends, so they said maybe Monday or Tuesday before they could get it fixed. I checked my FordPass app and sure enough, there's an "Antilock Brake Fault" and a "Precollision Assist Not Available" status alert.

They reached out this morning to tell me they're having a Ford tech come over from my dealership to take a look. No Bronco for me today

BUT. They did send some pics as a consolation prize, and my baby looks GOOOOOOD. Here's a lil peek:

Keeping my fingers crossed they'll get this buttoned up and ready for delivery tomorrow or Wednesday. My patience is stretched so thin.

Yes dealer even called to tell us it updated in their system to delivery 2/17-2/23!!!

Thanks, yeah i am not too worried about it, but don't want to get a sway bar disconnect Bronc since my OBX does not have it. stuff like that. IE, want to play with what i am getting. thanks for the tip. any reason you picked that rodeo to go to?

Hey man did you find somebody to swap out the AC vent tabs?

Were you just wanting to swap tabs or grab handles too? I have the blue bc of my black diamond.

I'll do a drive-by after work...

Drove by...couldn't spot it, must be in the garage. Asked the dealer for status...said estimated 2/17; I then sent him the delivery receipt and he confirmed it was there...

Heading in on Wednesday.

Said it wasn't even loaded into their system yet...perhaps my tracking obsession was a little aggressive...
