I see you are a July 2020 res, I am August 2020 ... so it gives me a bit of hope! One rumor is the "chip hold" is really a bad batch of chips in a shipment of modules that control the instrument cluster ... if true that would not show pattern as all vehicles need one of those.

The issue was a batch of modules came in with bad chips ... this is not a chip shortage issue per se ... they updated you when they found out about the bad chips in the module.

With respect, read any of the Ice Mountain threads.

The rumor was IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster).

Sorry I don't see your build specs? When dropping good info as you are, please provide your build specs so the rest of us can compare information. Many of us have them in our signature - thanks for the update and best of luck!!

Thanks Brian (though I guess you answer to Brain as well ...). My winch plate is in shipping to me! Now just need a vehicle to hang it on!

I think this explanation is correct - it would make no sense for comparison sake to say Ford can only fill 18% of manual orders. Saying Ford can fill 18% of orders as manual at least allows one to compare against other constraints. In either case it's still insufficient in that you still need...

I am Black Diamond with Mid - I'll check if I have it - thanks!

Nice build! I wonder if some of the 2 door scarcity is more constrained 2 door MIC's vs 4 door MIC's? Like you I hope the new plant eases that. I am hoping we seen enough quality and quantity out of New Hudson to start making a difference by mid-year. I see folks mention Advanced 4x4 as a...

Or is it 90% of manual transmission orders and 18% of all orders?

Supposed to be in Q2; they are hiring … Google it … I think Muscle Car & Truck had the most recent, maybe Detroit Free Press.

Brain - ordered the winch plate - if your 2 door Bronco rock rails are similarly well thought out and executed I'll get in line for those!

I am going with severely constipated - I think the two doors face constraints beyond what an otherwise identical four door might have. Maybe 2 door MIC tops are more constrained than 4 door MIC tops? And 2 doors have no softie option. Though I will admit the ice mountain spreadsheet showed...

Think of it as availability, not constrained.

Anything on 2 doors?

Are you a pimp?

Ford never damages a vehicle during assembly and fixes it without letting the future owner know … maybe you are overreacting a tad?

I know right … clearly that vehicle will never be drivable!!!! The proof is right there … could be a plastic box or metal box with or without a rubber bottom to protect against scratches … and certainly the 3 - 4 inches of snow does nothing. I might even hazard a guess that Ford issued those...

A wise position that applies to all of us … really my only point.

Assuming that’s what’s happening … I agree.
