So im guessing that means it's reached its destination?
Yes that is what I believe it means too. Some of the railroad terms are quite interesting and well dated.

Mine finally moved at 1100 for the first time since 2300 Friday night. Everyone needs a weekend 🤷

The dealer doesn't even want to run me for a loan until the Bronco arrives. I would pay cash but I need something new on my credit report 🤦‍♂️

I want to be able to sign the paperwork before the next rate hike.

Check your local credit Unions. Also since I know your in the service. I highly recommend checking out USAA. They have some of the best rates around and the were built off of a military background. Only way to bank with them is if you or someone in your immediate family have served. That's honestly the only bank I've gotten all my auto loans and insurance throught. A1 customer service as well.

I've had USAA for over a decade but they never beat a CU so I've never used them for auto loans. Actually plan on looking at progressive for insurance because USAA counts windshields as a normal deductible. This has bitten me twice and the wifey said progressive was $100 windshield deductible.

Another member in the Texas forum said Greater Texas Federal Credit Union had the best rates they could find so I'm going to try them. I'll start hitting them and USAA up tomorrow so I can avoid what @scottfwalter just mentioned.

No offense bro but that slingshot is ugly AF! 🤐 I've found nice ABS rail for $40 from offroad but with the new AA update I won't need a rail yet.

I'm getting those cup holders too!

Rubber handle paracords in my Amazon cart. Easier to clean and more UV resistant.

Just ordered AR magnum today! Wanted the aluminum because I will be spending many days on the beach and dropping a boat in saltwater. Just have to keep my eye on the factory rock rail for rust.

I haven't decided between IAG or mabett flaps. What made you choose IAG?

I already have the capable bumper license plate bracket from HBTFD here on the forum. Great piece.

I chose the IAG mainly because I also ordered the steps from them so fewer places to order from.

What do you mean by AA update?

I'm starting slow with mods, but I've ordered the following two items that I feel are essential must-haves when my Bronco arrives: front mud flaps (mainly to protect the paint from these Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires), and a new dash cam.

I went with IAG's I-LIne Mud Flap Front Set and the BlackVue DR900X Plus front dash cam. The mud flaps are arriving tomorrow. I plan to add the matching BlackVue rear cam, the LTE Connecticity Module, and the B-130X battery in the future.

I chose IAG over Mabett because IAG replaces some of the install/mounting pieces with better hardware, and they seem to provide more accessible and better customer support.

What's the connectivity module for?

It's a mobile hotspot for the camera so that you can do things like monitor it via the cloud while it's in parking mode. I looked into leveraging the Bronco's built-in hotspot, but it can't be used after you shut the vehicle off.

Note: BlackVue just announced some new products at CES 2023, including a new DR970X model that features built-in LTE connectivity. It won't be available until Spring 2023, though.

Your dealer has a point. My EDD changed three times... while the Bronco sat in the rail yard waiting for a car hauler to take it to the dealership 2.5 hours away. Thankfully my CU extended my application and kept the same interest rate, but that's only good if the latest delivery date stays put. Supposedly its now on a car hauler so we'll see.
