It is likely that the "whip" (wire) part of the antenna will be removeable. The FIRST thing that I would recommend is removing it cut off enough such that the tip is ~1" above your roof rails. This solves two problems. 1) You can now easily go in and out of your garage at home; and 2) it can...

How close is the dealership to you? I'd recommend going in and being very polite and asking the questions about your order. Can we convert it now? Is there a reason for the delay? If you are not completely satisfied, politely let them know. You have complete autonomy to move your order to...

Dave, as if you needed any confirmation, you are absolutely right with respect to the laws. You are also right to not pursue - as you would have virtually no chance of proving /winning (which is independent of you being right). Yep, just move on. Several dealers on here already identified to...

... and both of which you will be able to purchase after the fact from a discount OEM parts supplier.

Correct. But keep in mind that this is NOT a safety-related regulation that is being satisfied. It is a regulation which OEMs comply to in order to; 1) demonstrate that these very low speed "impacts" do not cause the consumer excessive repair bills and; 2) that safety components are not...

Clever marketing - "anti-intrusion" beams.... unfortunately, totally BS. The reality is that these have absolutely NOTHING to do with occupant safety as the maker would want you to believe. Rather, Ford equips vehicles with these in order to have compliancy with Federal 49 CFR Part 581 which...

As usual, first class communication from Granger. I'm so happy to have the opportunity to do business with them.

To be clear, I don't think there's any chance in hell that Granger would do ANYTHING fraudulant or against the grain of what Ford wants. I only included Granger because they likely have the highest number of allocations when all of the dust settles and if there a % of orders that fail to...

Not sure if that could be cost effectively administrated, but that would seem like a win-win resolution. I would say that dealers go through their list of any orders not yet in production (those that can still be cancelled) and allow the individual to opt for a Bronco that has already been...

Interesting data point. However, in my scenario I am NOT speaking about cancelled orders. I'm speaking about orders that get manufactured and delivered to the ordering dealer.... and then for one reason or another the buyer does not purchase.

Avid readers here know that there are approximately 190,000 reservations and that Ford is estimating that up to 75% of those reservations may be converted to orders. Further, we know that that Ford communicated an estimated allocation number to dealership - the largest factors in that...

I got my email from Granger and I replied last night. I referred a friend to Granger and encouraged him to consider moving his order. He spoke to his dealership and they said, "yeah, we're aware of Granger and their pricing but did you know that the only received 21 allocations, whereas we...

If you can sell something for more than its worth.... is it the seller who is a jackass or the buyer?

Hmmmm... I agree with what you are saying. But there's a legal way to do this in CA such that secondary buyer is the only one that ever pays the full sales tax on the Bronco.

Have a look at the HF 12,000lb Badlands winch. It is getting rave reviews. I've given up on Warn. I had purchased their new 10K lb ZEON winch for my last Rubicon build. The rechargeable remote is complete crap. First one failed. Replacement wouldn't hold a charge for more than a day or two...

op - I get where you are coming from. However, I think that you are making a leap that is unwarranted. Trying to keep things simple, Ford may have their reasons for selling the Jeeps in the "small SUV" <6,000lb GVWR classification. Fine. However, once it is in the hands of the consumer...

One of the most important aspects of wheel fitment - and conveniently avoided by the aftermarket, is the concept of hub-centric. Virtually EVERY wheel on EVERY vehicle from EVERY OEM for the last couple of DECADES is hub-centric. Despite this, virtually every aftermarket rim is NOT...

If you want to rock crawl, articulation is the name of the game. Here's my TJ (first year of the Rubicon) up in Moab.

Let's assume this is true. But don't we also know that Ford has asked the dealerships to submit their orders by time stamp? If this is also true, then do we assume that at some point in time dealerships will get a decoder ring?

Read a statistic some time ago which stated that the single most popular "toad" vehicle is the Jeep Wrangler. So, roughly same size and weight as a Bronco.
