  1. Crawler Gear on Steep Streets (>25% to 35% Grade)?

    On Day 2 with Bronco, I stalled twice near top of a very steep hill. Stupid of me to drive that street, without first getting feel for this specific manual transmission, and where the bite point is. I was also out of practice and haven't driven a MT in ~20 years. But, there I was, bruising my...
  2. New article with a spin on the hardtop I hadn't heard

    It's a very interesting story - Fordlandia and Fords rubber production plant. Here's a snippet, follow by a link for more details: In the late 1920s, the Ford Motor Company bought up millions of acres of land in Brazil. They loaded boats with machinery and supplies, and shipped them deep into...
  3. Fremont Ford - email today

    I had a good experience with Sean at Serramonte, FYI. MSRP plus $1500 delivery/dealer fees & taxes (all stated in my original order).
  4. Xpel Stealth PPF wrapped Antimatter Blue Bronco

    Beauty. Thanks for the additional pics.
  5. Pro Tip: Want a 2021 Bronco? Cold-Call Dealers.

    If you don't mind sharing, what was the markup? Over $5K, I'd guess?
  6. FASTBACK hardtops: a response from Patriot Fastbacks out of Cali

    Thanks for sharing your communications with Patriot! I've always liked the look of the fastback, and will hopefully go that route in a couple years.
  7. In the wild

    Awesome ride & gear!! But the Heineken makes me seriously doubt your judgement… ;-)
  8. Curious Why it Seems so Many People Want a Manual Trans?

    I’m planning to also gift in 5 years to my daughter. Big benefit: YOU CANT TEXT & DRIVE MT!
  9. Factory roof racks part number?

    I went with soft top option, so haven't been following this too closely. For specific nomenclature, I think you're looking for "roof rails" and "crossbars" -- but some may just say roof rack. Take a look at these threads...
  10. Is getting this Bronco a smart decision?

    Get a Bronco, and learn to cook a few good/simple pasta dishes.
  11. can the bronco letters in the front grill be removed?

    So, I was also hoping to remove the BRONCO letter from front grill, or at least black/gray them out. I don't like "logos", unless I'm getting paid to be a sponsor. You can buy vinyl sticker to cover the existing letters for ~$32 - $40, depending on color choice. Website...
  12. *** DIRT MOUNTAIN Broncos - Built, Shipped, Delivered Tracker***

    One data point for y'all: My BD 4dr, soft top, MT, no tow/lux was shipped via rail on 8/4 and expected delivery to CA is 8/19-8/25. Blend date was 8/3. It took about 1.5 days for "In Production" to change to "Built". Early 8/5 (1:30AM), I got an email from Ford with shipping window. This...
  13. Jeep Wrangler trim equivalent to Black Diamond?

    I nearly went with a Willy at the beginning of the summer, but decided to stick with my BD order which is now being shipped to me. (I went with Black Diamond, 4dr, soft top, manual, no tow, no lux/mid package, 8/3 blend date.) I'm inferring that a hard top is important to you. You can always...
  14. Dealer not allowing test drives

    I've watched so many YouTube videos that I feel like I've already driven mine 50K miles!
  15. Neat thing: Manual Gear Indicator + other 7MT thoughts

    Yeah - I think most/all MT drivers would prefer analog tach. I suspect it was easier to have an all digital display, rather than a mix of digital and analog.
  16. đź›  8/2/21 build Week Thread

    Got email this morning (8/5) at 1:35AM stating my Bronco “has been built. We are performing some final inspections on your vehicle and getting it ready for shipment. Our current estimate for delivery to Serramonte Ford is between August 19, 2021 and August 25, 2021” Blend date 8/3, rotation...
  17. 8/2 Bronco Scheduling Cancelled - Again!

    Can anyone explain/confirm what this "Scheduling Toolbox" is showing? Does this relate to production?? Or, is this for orders that do not yet have a build/production/blend date? (Bonus points if you can also explain to me what a "blend date" is, and how it's different than a "production...
