This makes me feel a HELL of a lot better about going A51 + sandstone.
Of all of the decisions ordering one, that combo is the thing I felt the iffy-est about.
You have put me at great ease. Thanks so much for sharing your rig!!
I'm going to rewind back for a second and ask a more critical question -
You're a 7/14 reservation holder.
Did you actually follow up with your dealer and finalize/submit your order?
I hope they're using the ones with the reject tops as the models that get sent to the 3rd party accessories manufacturers.
Trying to find a viable use for them without overall risk to the public.
Count me in as another Park Cities / Planet Ford orderee with 0 info or updates, no VIN, and diminishing hope.
Who wants to go plan a heist with me though?
OK let me rephrase. I didn't do a great job setting that up.
The party of 10 is one mega-loaded order. Obviously to seat 10 you need tons of space, the right table or nearby tables to push together, and a restaurant might not have plentiful availability of those spots. For the Bronco, that's...
To carry on the restaurant analogy, some people are a party of 10 waiting on a table, and getting mad when a couple that showed up after them gets put at a 2-seater quicker.
The restaurant going strictly in arrival order would mean that tiny 2-seat table sat open for a long time, needlessly.
I really wish the 2DR had the cargo space behind the front seat that the 5th gen did, but not enough to go 4DR.
I hope I stop 2nd guessing after mine gets here. Right now I'm trusting my instinct, and it always points me back toward the 2-door.
Easy! We will have tons of time to forensically try to reverse-engineer the delivery estimate based on forecasting reservation #'s, reservation & order dates, locality, dealer allocation, etc!
We get what we get, but wouldn't it be a mental exercise to figure out in hindsight how you could have...
Especially for 4WD vehicles. Locally 2010-2013 FJ Cruisers are still selling for about 75-85% of what their MSRP was when they were bought new. With 100-150k miles ALREADY ON THEM.
I hate to say this and I'm probably going to get dragged for doing so, but...
Why would they? That takes a lot of effort, attention, and money.
Plus there's the downside that whatever they say is going to invite critique and non-stop nitpicking.
Meanwhile we're already frothing at the mouth to...
If that's as worst-case-silly as you were prepared to pre-answer for, boy have I got something that'll shake you!
My initial question (just reading the thread title alone) was "why the HELL would someone want to take the doors off, but leave the windows on the Bronco?"
:LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL:
I've been a 2-door guy since Day 1, and finally converted my reservation today, but I really struggled with the 4-door there at the end.
My biggest reservation about the 2-D is it pretty much excludes sleeping comfortably inside the vehicle.
I just got back from a trip to AZ/UT, where I lived...
