I haven't seen this, will have to try and find it.

I'm ok with this as long as the weather is hot enough and we leave early enough in the day to enjoy the dripping water.

But ultimately I want to outfit a super basic trailer as a lightweight adventure trailer that I can (easily) mount and dismount a rooftop tent onto with kayaks under or along each side.

EDIT: found it!

Well...welcome!

Sorry to hear your delivery is delayed. Does your vehicle viz status reflect held for chip at MAP?

It seems there are a few folks who can't drive their Broncos off the dealership lots due to bad airbag control modules, faulty airbags, constant airbag light illumination. Have you heard anything about that issue, as well?
I have not heard of any of those issues at my dealership, no. Certainly doesn’t mean it isn’t the case at others, obviously. And yes, sadly, mine says …

Our dealers have it in their system. Mine does not have any reason for my Bronco's hold.

I'm pretty sure NIST has commissioned a toolkit of the highest degree of precision that's being hand-delivered to a select team of Master QC engineers in order to pre-pre-delivery inspect your WT.

An OCD-Checklist-for-Delivery, if you will… :ROFLMAO:

Haha!

You are speaking my language, @_jeff.

You may be onto something, with as many times as I have e-mailed the Owners Checklist for Delivery (OCD) to the MAP Plant Manager and Ford Corporate office.

Yeah, I think ours are/ were on the same train. I'm getting the same thing, but prior to today the destination was Blue Island at 7:00pm tonight. So I'm thinking they are changing trains and hopefully tomorrow there will be updated info.
Thanks Jed! I’ll check in the morning!

The wait is finally over. For those still waiting, especially those who waited longer than me, I will echo what everyone else has said. It is so worth it. I only drove it a few miles home, and I'm in love. Wife drove it around the block and says she wants one now. She might be kidding for now, but her lease is up in a few months.

So back in May, the Friday of Memorial Day weekend, I went to the walkin clinic with a lingering chest cold that wasn't going away. They took my blood pressure and it was off the charts, and they made me go to the ER. 30 minutes later, I'm being told I have end stage kidney failure, and because of all the fluid in me, my heart was only pumping at 10%. This came out of nowhere - 2 weeks prior, on my 42nd birthday, I kayaked upstream in a river near me, fighting the current for 2 miles, and was completely fine.
Fast forward two weeks, and I'm wondering if I'm going to make it home to see my family or not. The docs got my BP under control and started me on dialysis. I was in the hospital for 12 days, and at some point I had that "life is way too short" moment. I had wanted a Jeep since I was like 18, but never thought it was practical. I decided when I got out I would sell my car and get one, but then I started reading about the Bronco and got obsessed, and well, you know the rest because you're all as bad as me (and some of you much, much worse ;))
I'm not going to go all cliche and say that waiting for this beast is what got me through the last 8 months, because I have way more to live for than a car, even a badass car like this. I will say, however, that this forum, especially this thread, has been a great distraction. I have spent countless hours here while sitting in a dialysis chair. I was actually in dialysis when I got my build week email, which is what lead me to finally make an account here. Nothing gets you through dialysis quite like reading about Alvin Olson calling the train line 472 times in an afternoon, or seeing everyone's pics and wondering if you'll be the last one out of purgatory.

more and better pics to come, but it's dark and raining now, so just this one...



Father tested, kid approved...

Sending you nothing but positivity and hope that things improve. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

Actually they are set by the dealer according to what I read, but are limited by the state. The new maximum fee for PA as of January 2022 is $422. For 2021 the limit was set at $394.
There's so much BS on this subject, especially the photocopied pamphlet that says "We have to charge you this by law" What a joke. There are many dealers here in MA that don't have them. My future loyalties will be with those dealers.

It varies state to state, but should not vary dealer to dealer within the SAME state. (Just giving you what my experience has shown me after 25 yrs in the car business here in Ohio. )🤷‍♂️

Really didn’t mean to strike a nerve ☕

This is a good read for us here in MA. As I understand, no dealer in the US is required to charge doc fees. MA Doc fee audit . In Ohio, the fee CAN vary dealer to dealer. It can not exceed 10% of the purchase price with a $250 maximum. There is no minimum, meaning no fee must be charged.
