  1. Grab your salt...

    Translated: the *real* B&P isn't going to be released until mid-December. I can see the honest answer being "We released the still-not-yet-ready B&P shell just to try to get the Bronco6G guys off our backs! We're not even going to try for mid-November."
  2. Thinking of giving up my reservation because...

    All (essentially all?) convertibles wree killed in the mid-'70's due to new Federal safety regs. Took about a decade before the manufacturers started offering them again. For some it wasn't economically viable to put compliant soft tops back on the pre-regs models, especially if the vehicle...
  3. MIC top or soft top

    Ford rep said yes at one of the Bronco events.
  4. MIC top or soft top

    We're going with the soft top now, modular later if we decide we want a roof rack. The MIC color and, IIRC, the lack of removable rear side windows is a non-starter for us. The modular delay actually makes ordering easier for us now, as we don't have to wrestle with a soft top vs. modular...
  5. T6 Chassis?

    You can see the difference in the chassis photos -- the new rear suspension upper mounts on the Bronco chassis is a dead giveaway.
  6. FORD, Are you really listening? How's about this:

    No problem -- just couldn't figure it out.
  7. FORD, Are you really listening? How's about this:

    ??? How would that fix my desire for a Badlands w/o orange trim?
  8. FORD, Are you really listening? How's about this:

    Good point - my spouse would kill for purple!
  9. FORD, Are you really listening? How's about this:

    Please give me a Badlands with an different interior highlight color! The orange is NOT what I want. Silver? Black? Blue? Almost anything but orange!
  10. Where are the Ford factory accessories?

    Ok -- so publish a separate accessories page showing what will be available, even without the prices if not yet available!!
  11. Compiled list of issues / bugs with Bronco Build & Price

    Tow rating is not so simple -- shorter wheelbase, higher center of gravity, brake size limited by wheel size, brake heat absorption/dissipation capacity, wheel and tire size (large heavy wheels place a surprisingly high load on the brakes), etc., etc. -- there is a *lot* that goes into tow...
  12. Everything Badlands: For Positive and VERY Excited future BL Owners!! Plan & Wait...

    I don't want to spoil all the positivity, but -- be careful. No dealer will be able to place an order with Ford until sometime in December at the earliest. This sounds like a "get them in the showroom, then ask/demand a deposit" to lock you into buying the car from them. This would...
  13. Roll call for those satisfied with B&P

    Yes, and Yes. ;) Separately: I'm satisfied, in the sense that I finally have a *ballpark* idea of what my loaded 4dr BL will cost. I'm *very* dissatisfied, given the extent of the B&P technical problems, errors and missing accessories -- particularly since Ford postponed B&P for more than a...
  14. Why no synthetic rope version of the winch?

    Only the steel line version is offered in the $2500 package. (btw, for OE accessory part pricing, while high, iI do not believe it to be completely outrageous - the winch is available for ~$1200, and then you need to add the cost of a mounting solution) If the synthetic line version (Warn...
  15. INTERIOR COLORS & MATERIALS Walkthrough Video Posted

    I'll prbably still buy, but I don't like the orange. I'll likely replace the grips and vent clips with another color, then get in/out of the vehicle in a way that avoids catching sight of the seat stitching. :(
  16. Build and Price Help for those with questions

    I'm not NayNay, but I've done this with my CU. I live in VA, purchased from WI. Just like an in-state transaction as far as the check part. The one thing to watch closely is sales tax -- different states have different laws. When I returned to VA, I had to go to the DMV to pay the VA tax...
  17. Announcement: MIC Hardtop Option Only Initially. Black Painted Modular Hardtop Will Be Late Availability

    I'm in the minority, but this is ok with me. We haven't been able to decide which of the 3 4 dr BL roofs we wanted, and I favor the soft top. So, we order the soft top, and wait until we can compare the MIC and painted tops in the flesh.
  18. Something I haven't seen yet --

    Excellent -- thanks!
  19. Everyone is happy about the frameless doors, and I dont know if we should be

    Must have been on a track, of course. ;) Seriously, when we had a C5 Corvette I reached those speeds at VIR. The windows do move outward a bit (lower pressure outside the window -- Bernolli was right), but I never noticed the wind noise over the high-pitched screams of the driving instructor...
