That feeling you get when you are driving down the highway on your first day to work with the new Bronco and someone passes you and slows up take a picture of it....

Haven’t had it happen to me yet but the Mrs has had wranglers wave at her and give thumbs ups when she hadn’t waved first. Coming from 24 years in the TJ it’s hard not to wave first. Had a guy in a newer wrangler last weekend at the orchards comment on it loving the color and he just traded his TJ too so had a good chat.

All good stuff. My Wife and I were having a conversation yesterday when we were driving around and a Jeep came the other way and I didn't know what to do. It was weird after driving the TJ around for so long.

As promised, meet "Taco". Here are some pics. This is even better than I imagined. Haven't been able to drive it a bunch but with the Holiday weekend coming, I suspect we will put some miles on it.

Beautiful!

To all the 04/08/2024er’s out there, we are T minus two weeks and counting. I have not heard anything since my build week confirmation on 03/08/2024. I thought I would add a little humor to the conversation. I have completed my Pre-build week checklist and now I am anxiously waiting for the big day. Here is a list of what I have completed.

• I have obsessively searched every conceivable website on the internet looking for toys to put on my new Bronco.
• I have obsessively searched this Forum looking for ideas of what to do and not to do.
• I have checked the Tracking Website several times a day (even Saturday’s and Sunday’s) knowing that probably nothing is going to change. To the point where I actually thought I saw it change one time, but it was an illusion (or wishful thinking).
• I have checked the Tracking Website obsessively on Tuesday’s (supposedly the Ford update day) to the point where I get nothing done due to thinking about it.
• I have been stalking the Build week Forums before us to see if there is any movement on their schedule in hopes it has moved up.
• I have obsessively anguished if I made the right decisions on my build options.
• I have organized the things I took out of my F150 (which I traded in already) and decided what is going in the Bronco and what is not.
• My Jeep TJ is going up for sale as soon as I get the Bronco, so I have that ad and pictures all ready to go.
• My financing is in order.
• And now we wait………………….

So, did I miss anything? Feel free to add on. I sold my 1972 Bronco back in 1986, (my butt is still sore from me kicking it for selling it) and have missed it ever since. When I first heard Ford was bringing it back, I was hooked. I am pretty sure I have OCBD (Obsessive Compulsive Bronco Disorder). Hopefully it will get better when I get mine. All that said let’s kick this Forum in gear. If anyone is hearing anything, please post for the rest of us. Maybe it will help pass the time. CAN WE GET THESE THINGS BUILT ALREADY……………..

My Bronco Brother - The #OCBD is real!
I hope by now you have received your "Precious" and are furiously recycling Amazon boxes.
Don't know if you started ordering for your precious, but here are a few items that a new Bronco enthusiast like me found useful
Mats - Lasfit (fit like a glove)
Side Rails - IAG Full Length EZ Step
And a little trinket for fun - Bronco Door Light

Many more mods on the list, but you sound like a veteran #OCBD'er already!
Happy Trails!

Breathtaking!
