Received a text at 3:48am that my Bronco shipped and it is showing up as such on the website.

Guess I'll start ordering the first mods....

What mods? I've got hoop steps, handles, side decal & steering wheel cover. Looking at lighting for my steel bumper.

I'd love suggestions for a 4dr rain cover. I plan on running it without top/doors half of the year and need a quick set cover for weather.

I would like suggestions on a cover too. As this is my plan as well.

I know everyone is different but after owning multiple Jeeps including my beloved '19 2 door Rubicon which I am definitely keeping, first thing I'd get when the weather permits is a soft top.

The nice thing about the softtop is if you're out and about and get hammered by rain, even with the windows out, you won't get any water on you (with doors of course). Not sure on the Bronco but Jeeps have insane AC and Heater power, seats that get scorching hot and the steering wheel gets crazy hot too so that is worth factoring in. I've had no issues with top down to 40 degrees and top up with windows out in the low 20's. It may be a poor use of time but I'll run my hardtop for the winter sometimes or like this year I am running the softtop this year. It looks like removing and adding the softtop on the Bronco is extremely easy.

My buddy seems to have reoccurring electrical issues from water in his Bronco from the rain. Speculating of course, could just be issues popping up but it happened after heavy rain no top. I have washed the insides of my Jeeps out with hoses and never had an issue so maybe he just got unlucky or it's a coincidence.

Appreciate that Alpha! I've owned Wranglers for many years as well, mainly in Florida & Alaska. I had a hard top that rarely came off in Alaska due to a roof rack that made it extra difficult. I had a soft top that was off, along with the doors, at least 50% of the time in Florida, and had a great rain cover that would slip on in under 5 minutes if weather came in while out & about. One trouble was getting home if it was an all-day rain and I'll admit I drove more than once with no top/doors in downpours (not bad until you catch a stoplight). I've also driven motorcycles for many years so I'm used to dressing for the weather while riding.

What I'm looking for is a rain cover that I can throw on when I'm on the road with no soft top & no doors. Soft-top only is semi-helpful but when it's really coming down sideways I'd like to fully protect the doors as well. I got rubberized floors so I'll rip the carpet out first thing and prepare to get caught in weather. I found one on Amazon but I'd prefer to go with a reputable parts dealer.

Really like the Bestop soft cover I had for my Jeep JL (safari bimini), however, I don't think they make a cover that would meet your needs (i.e. full cover for weather).

First mods: shorty antenna (BuiltRight), all weather mats and cargo mat, Mabett seat back protection and cargo area protection (wife has a GSP that is hard on car interiors).

Next will probably be fog light kit from SPV (Baja or Rigid) and possibly some rock slider rails so my wife can get in the vehicle easier.

Called ford, my car is already in transit with a delivery date from 1/31-2/6 to Houston!

Got some things stacking up for the arrival of my Everglades.

Rigid lightbar is being transferred from my Black Diamond.

Set of Rigid Pod lights to hopefully see if we can mount them forward facing and not interfere with the snorkel for additional driving lights.

Antenna delete to help with the pod light fitment (hopefully)

All weather mats

Seat back protectors - transferred

Arcetype Racing SLAP/BAM mount - transfered

Paracors handles - transferred

Console organizer - transferred

Other odds and ends - bug/wind deflector, winch cover, center top piece storage bag, black bucking Bronco to replace the rear

This is what I have gotten so far! I am not certain if I should be worried that I got the window sticker from the dealership and not the website, but any guidance will be helpful.

 

[BD6G]

I am not certain how to read a window sticker to identify the blend date. I see the production date, but not certain which number pertains to the blend date. Any guidance will be helpful.

Also should I be worried if the website is not showing me my window sticker, but the dealership has it.

looks like your blend date was 8 January, next to the 2915 is your blend date

edited to add no don’t worry about the window sticker the link went away from everyone it seems

You see the "2915" in the top center of the window sticker? it is the number just to the left beside it. Hard to read but looks like it is 320240108 which matches your "in production" date. Specifically the 240108 part. You are likely built already. Have you tried looking at your modules status?

Thank you so much for the information! How do I read the module? Is it if they have three different set of numbers and letters that means that part is complete?
