🛠 8/2/21 build Week Thread

[Ig_bronco]

Not sure the significance, but the date on the bottom of my window sticker changed today, and my understanding is it does that once something about the build changes. So maybe it's been released from QC and can get on the truck

One could speculate this all day... One site I'm 8/2 date and another I'm a 8/08. I looked yesterday I was 8/10 and I looked just now and I'm 8/08.. For anyone who is interested I called ford direct. Idk if some people lie on the form but I never can get any information out of them other than oh you're in production. Some folks get way more

2nd day res, 8/03 blend, 8/04 built BD softie. Palsapp has had pending since I got the build notification. I went to the dealer today and they confirmed it is at the ramp at the Jacksonville FL railyard which is 110 miles from here, however Ford still says delivery between 6 and 12 Sept! Gotta figure something better out lol

I believe the window stickers get updated weekly, I don't think it necessarily means anything changed.

8/03/2021 blend date. 6G tracker shows 08/03 build date, window sticker update on 8/05 not sure what changed. I know it went to bodyshop for paint protection film on 8/8/2021, then window sticker updated again today 8/11/2021, not sure why unless because it is back from bodyshop. Hoping for a Built notification soon. 2 Door Badlands, Rapid Red, 2.3, 7sp MT, Lux, 285 mud terrain and the bead lock capable wheels.

Wi-Fi hotspot eligibility just got added for me - got back from paint protection on the 6th. Maybe hotspot got added as they moved it into MIC purgatory?

Mine has also updated to 8/11. We must consult the Bronco ouija board for answers.

Mine updated yesterday and then today it's back to 8/9.

I assume For those who are a MIC (sorry) unless otherwise noted in the cryptic mail which will leave more questions than answers I don't think the soft tops should be affected?

Who knows? I mean what are they going to do with all those cars they've built? Just crush 'em? I understand not making anymore, but what about everyone who's got a car sitting on the lot?

My thoughts exactly, I just posted on that thread they should send what they got and drop ship a new top. If it's delam and "honeycomb" cool ship it, if it's leaking that's a whole other issue. They're gonna have more issues with all of them sitting outside unchecked and maintained.

 

[Scabieathrax]

i'm just baffled my badlands soft top hasn't shipped, i can't imagine what is holding it up

Pretty sure that I am in MIC jail... and I am not happy about that being the case after I have already made my second payment on a vehicle that should be on its way to me.

Bummed about Premierdrum's news. Hoping you MIC toppers get satisfactory resolution. Hoping it doesn't affect us softies. I switched in advance of the pending debacle, partly because I was originally Mod top. Partly because of witnessing my own work related manufacturing issues. No two ways about it, this sucks.

Given the upcoming announcement that we're al waiting for, that we all assume is a stop on all new hardtop vehicles being produced in MY21 (except for First Editions, per Mike Levine tweet), we built but stuck crew should breathe a little sigh of relief...maybe?

Four door MICs are likely to get a soft top and sent on their way. Two-doors...well, I saw a Mike Levine tweet saying there was no plan for a two-door soft top solution, but that tweet is now gone. SO either our 2drs will sit on a lot in Michigan until the finally make a top that will work for us, or...???

Who even knows. But we have 90% of a truck built.

It's still there:

I think mostly likely outcome is that we get scraps from FE. If the number of 12k more tops is true, then that could theoretically be enough to cover all FEs and current builds. Otherwise I guess we hope that we got the good roofs? Seems like some are sneaking through.
