Nice work! I too am hoping you will update with reports on how well the adhesion holds.
I would seriously consider wrapping mine (when it comes) in a matte black if the wrap holds up. The grey top on cyber orange just doesn't do it for me
This is an amazing tidbit of trivia.
I am now wondering whether the people who complain about the U.S. and our "gas guzzlers" use the false comparison in their arguments. I will keep my eyes out for that one. 🤔
Awesome. If the dealer doesn't keep their word, it would be great for the community (and you) to have the precedent of a court halting these bait and switch tactics.
Hoping for the best!
It has been over a decade since I have messed with contracts, but I have been wondering if the reservation system provides some estoppel protection.
Up until the point you ordered, you had the option to take your reservation to any other dealer. The verbal offer of no ADM prevented you from...
Can anyone tell me whether the "textured powder coat" on these would accept PPF? The coating looks smooth from the pics, but I can't tell for sure.
I would like to protect the bottom of these from rock chips as I live in the salty north, and vinyl seems like it would be the easiest solution.
The dealer said it didn't "seem" to make a difference, and given that our monthly order threads are full of constrained items, she is seeing the same thing we are. She isn't necessarily lying or not knowledgeable.
Besides, if every order holder switches to "plentiful" parts in order to slightly...
I was just researching this subject myself, in anticipation of trading in my truck for the Bronco.
The Langka Blob leveler product has great reviews in assisting in making the repair much less visible, as you said, by making the repair level as the surrounding paint (similar optics is key)...
Haha! Exactly the same reason I have a Tacoma and DR650. I like minimal... The Bronco is extravagant compared. It makes me nervous!
Despite that though, I do wonder why the supply changed suddenly enough to return full production.

I found this on Reddit. I can't speak for the accuracy of this article as I don't have a direct source and haven't seen it corroborated anywhere else.
BUT... if Toyota can take the brunt of hungry 4x4 buyers, Bronco...
Many of us intentionally held out for 2022 due to Mansquatch or other 22' options.
So yes, my 2nd day res not getting scheduled hurts a little, but not as bad as for those who had an order in immediately.
I fall on your side of the argument. Dealer Invoice prices are not up 25%, only their overhead. I would gladly pay a small premium to compensate for increased utility bills and decreased sales, but the math doesn't add up to the massive Adams we are seeing.
If my dealer is so financially...
I am watching this issue with interest... I do not want rock chips and will be looking at temporary solutions until I find something permanent.
I'm thinking of temporarily slapping on a square of PPF in the target areas the first day.
I may not go with full mud flaps. From looking at the gap...
Have you looked into potential taxes? If not, you might want to call the DMV and ask.
From what I understand, some states may still try to tax the full value of the vehicle, even if nothing was paid.
If so... The wrap would be relatively cheaper than it sounds.
BTW, that rig looks great. It...
I'm on the east side of Michigan in a medium sized town. I have seen one on the interstate and four on the side roads.
Being Broncos, we might need to look in the woods rather than the paved roads.
At first glance I was excited, but nope, not at $10k and not interested in a one-piece top.
A compromise between this design and the OEM top would be perfect. Why can't Ford figure it out?
Straight lines. Hmm. I can't picture any wash process (by hand or auto) that would spray straight diagonal streams like that, but who knows.
Have we seen the back of these pieces? Perhaps there are diamond shaped reinforcements where resins or other molding chemicals are still active, or...
I'm considering MT remote start as well. A neutral sensor would be a good additional safety for an open-top MT with remote (in case a raccoon climbs in and shifts the gear overnight 😂)
As far as the "song and dance", the newer systems don't seem so bad to me:
Depress brake, engage E brake...
