  1. How many miles before your 1st windshield chip/crack

    My first Bronco had 4,500 miles before I sold it, no aeroskin, and no windshield issues. The second Bronco (installed aeroskin as soon as I bought it) got the 1st chip in 5 days and 180 miles. At about 5,000 miles, the chip grew into a crack across the windshield. Replacing it next week under...
  2. 11/28/2022 Build Week

    Blend date of 11/29 Modules popped Yes to Tear Tag. Window sticker says shipping by rail No shipped email or date on tracker yet. Ford email says delivery between 12/19 and 12/25 to Auston TX. I'm going to be out of the country from 12/21 to 12/28, so want to make sure there are no hiccups...
  3. 5/2/22 Build Week Group

    Asking for help... apologies if the answer is already on the forum. If yes, pls send me a link. Got my shipped email yesterday - says delivery between June 3rd and June 9th. And it was to be shipped by Rail. Ford's tracker site is not working for me now. Dealer is in Washington state, and I...
  4. Auxilliary power port(s) installation.

    Thanks much. that helps. A quick question - what's the workable length of the recessed cubby? Asking coz' I saw a combo strip on Amazon that has 2 x ports, a 12V port, and a control switch all in one, but want to make sure it'll fit in the recess.....
  5. Auxilliary power port(s) installation.

    Thanks for the pics.... I like what you've done. A few questions: 1) why did you decide to install the ports in the recessed location instead of on the raised flat surface to the side? Is it because it's easier to get to from under the dash? Reason I ask is the recessed cubby may be a good...
  6. I think I'm out.....

    IMHO, truly depends on what you want… Daily Driving - my Bronco will not be my daily driver - my current DD (Mini Cooper S) gets me close to 35 MPG if I treat her right. Overlanding - I’m buying the Bronco not for it’s MPG, but for its visceral appeal but most importantly, because I want a...
  7. Texas Question on Camera-Screen setup to drive in Right-Hand-Drive Countries

    Thanks much to all - particular to @Theherofails. This should work, with a little bit of wiring chicanery.
  8. Texas Question on Camera-Screen setup to drive in Right-Hand-Drive Countries

    My Build: BL/4DR/MT/High/MIC/Tow. Reserved 07/14/20, but now been pushed to MY22. Final order placed with dealer on 10/19/21, no news on build date yet. My Plan: Assuming I get my Bronco sometime in 2022, I want to take a long drive over to Europe and then to Asia, Africa, and back, beginning...
  9. Curious Why it Seems so Many People Want a Manual Trans?

    Excellent point.... left foot braking while off-road is a huge advantage for the Auto in tricky situations. That being said, I'm 60 and won't drive an Auto until my back gives out... to be frank I wouldn't have considered the Bronco if it didn't have a Manual option. (my build is a 4DR, 2.3L...
  10. Real MPG. Las Vegas to Bend, OR. 800 miles. 2-door FE.

    Agree. AC may be nice and all, but it'll slow you down to the slowest car if you don't pay attention.
  11. 3000 miles in…good, bad and the ugly

    👆.. Exactly. Else show me how I can get a 2.7L in a stick in 22 and I'll defer my Day 1 reservation to get it.
  12. Support for The Stig - B6G Call to Action

    If the Stig were a double agent placed by FMC to conduct guerilla marketing and introduce us starved fans to the Bronco, then kudos to FMC. But seeing this shitshow of a launch, there's no way FMC is capable of such a brilliant move. The Stig is one of our brothers who was just trying to help...
  13. 📣 Ford announces MIC hardtop solution (program 21B49): unscheduled orders will get MY2022, delivered & built Broncos will have tops replaced

    My first Ford vehicle, and I'm effing disappointed at this huuuge dumpster fire! Regardless, it is what it is, and I think FMC's plan is likely the best as long as they replace the roofs in the order that I think they have outlined - those already delivered, those in purgatory, those in...
  14. Should I Sell?

    Buy her, drive and own her, and then decide what you wanna do with her. That's the American way. I have a 4DR BL 7MT Non-SQ (Day 2 reservation) that I've built to my heart's specs. I plan to buy her, own her, and possibly sell her depending on how resale prices and FMC's ability to deliver...
  15. Texas Off-Roadeo Question

    I live in Austin so rode up there a few weeks ago for my first view of a Bronco. The folks at the reception were very friendly and allowed me to walk in and around the main building. I had to sign a liability form before I could do this and was told I could not go to areas where the Off-Roadeo...
