Ford & Levine are living rent free in our 500+ day res date heads. They own us. Us res holders are marketing pawns to generate more interest. Ford can take all our screaming/venting and go straight to the shareholders and say, "look at all this publicity." Didn't a former President say that...
How about the Administrator start a pool that we all throw a dollar in to see who goes the longest until they receive their build? No 99ing of course. Gotta make the wait interesting otherwise we'll go nuts. I'm at 486.
Stopped in yesterday to re-confirm my order. I said no changes and the dealership owner printed out the new work order. The BD trim adds the Mod bumper back on as a $575 option, so I had them take it off for the standard steel capable bumper with the fog lights I want and I was good to go...

Was in Iceland back in '19. While I was driving a Hyundai diesel 4wd rental, I was constantly ogling all the classic Defenders and huge E-350 tour group machines (one company is called Mountain Taxi) for fording rivers. I finally noticed Jimnys everywhere. Perfect, basic 4wd. Oh yeah, I wanted...
We can sing along with Janis,
Oh Lord, won't you build me a Bronco Big Bend
My friends all drive Wranglers, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
So Lord, won't you build me a Bronco Big Bend
Learned on a 3 on the tree as well. Then for my high school summer job, drove a water truck at the local golf course to water trees. Shifting a split axle took it to another level.
Through the 80s, 90s and into the new century, the printing company I work for printed "authorized reprint" Ford Shop Manuals covering Mustang, Falcon, Fairlane, Cougar, Montego and T-Bird from years 1965 thru 1973. Thick books. And even though we only printed it once, there was a 1964 1/2 shop...
