One thing I noticed on my Wildtrack soft top after receiving that everyone should check. On the roll cage on back drivers side the paint was scratched. This is caused when they install the soft top in the factory and rubbing against it when it gets folded up. I told my sales rep today and will be getting it touched up at my first service.
Yeah, read a thing about that. See there is a bar on the side near the back and it says lift here. I'm going to try that first.

I don’t understand how a CSX train can take 28 hrs and counting to get from Chattanooga to Atlanta (2 hrs driving time). Departed at 5pm yesterday. If we didn’t have all this insight, I’d be doing normal life things. Instead I try to read up on locomotive traffic 😆

Okay y’all. I need help making a decision. My bronco is stuck on “1/26 production” like everyone else here and my patients is gone, especially seeing later builds after us getting theirs sooner… I found a local one that is similar to my build but a 2021 with a 5k mark up.

Should I wait for our potential May/June/July Bronco or get this one now?

My bronco in production right now was just my “get built fast” order. I have another hardtop/lots of features build already ordered but not scheduled yet.
I’d be tempted as well. I haven’t seen anything available in Florida for less than $69k+and that’s for a big bend soft top. I saw a 2 door base for $55k and it was gone quick…insane

So I just talked to my friend that works at Michigan assembly Plant and he told me they are still currently waiting on semiconductor chips which is not really the main issue. they’re also having a shortage of airbags. The airbags that were placed in the Broncos (1/24-26/22)are faulty so on top of the semiconductors being faulty the airbags are faulty as well. So this is why probably people that were built during those days are not seeing much movement.
Good to know - thanks for sharing!

The next time you happen to speak to him can you ask if our Broncos are being stored outside or in a climate controlled building? I've read several threads where people were told chip holds are not being stored outside.

I moved from Chicago to Blue Island to Gibson and back to Blue Island in about 72 hours. The total distance is about 20 miles. Definitely get it!

I know some of you are really struggling with the delays and lack of information during shipping. But TRUST me when I say, the wait is 100% worth it. Someday soon, you all will have your Broncos and I can't wait to see everyone out in the wild.

*Excitement overload* Dealer just called, and my baby has arrived. Detailing it now and will be ready for pick up at 2!
Same here, went and signed paper work will pick up after level kit and other items are added.

My Bronco just went to Hold at the rail yard guessing that is why 🤬

I'm headed out to the garage to attempt to remove the crash bars, as my 315/70/r17 KO2s are getting installed tomorrow morning, along with my Black Rhino wheels. I'm hoping I can remove them without messing with the capable bumper. I can't wait to see your Bronco leveled with your other items!

I had to drive 3 hours each way across the state and back today for work. I saw 2 four door Broncos. An Area 51 and an Eruption Green, both with hard tops and both with custom decals. All I could think about is mine covered in snow in Detroit.
