I'm just going to come right out and say it; the reason for all of this is because the workers at MAP don't really care and they have absolutely no leadership. No one is keeping careful track of the build dates of the Bronco's parked outside. No one keeping track of the incoming parts and...

I check the tracker 4 times a day, every day, like clockwork. Its the very first thing I do when I wake up. Then I check it right around noon. Oh, its dinnertime; better check the tracker again! And, of course, how could I go to bed at night and fall asleep without getting in one last look at...

A few others have already mentioned this, but the most likely thing that happened is that there was significant shipping damage. The carrier probably had to pay a claim at which point the damaged Bronco became their property and they auctioned it off to mitigate some of their losses.

I had a dream last night that a HUGE shipment of modules came in, and hundreds of techs scrambled to get them installed. There was a flurry of activity, and the parking lot is quickly emptied. Many techs opened the door to my Bronco so they could pop the hood and install the missing module...

If you read through the pages of this thread, what are people talking about? I'm reading a lively discussion filled with posts about the suspected price of the OEM top, the Patriot fastback top, the quality of the OEM MIC, the quality of the OEM soft top, the price of jeep tops, ect. What are...

I recognize that you are writing this in a way to highlight that what I want is kind of dumb, but yes, I'll admit that this is 100% exactly what I want. :) And I don't think that it is an unusual thing to want. The 2 door vs 4 door option has existed in the market for probably a century now...

I'll be rooting for you! :)

Due to your black-and-white vision of a vehicles purpose, doesn't being behind the wheel of a machine like the Bronco kind of bum you out? You must realize that a 2 door Bronco is a far cry from being a dedicated ORV. Many compromises needed to be made in in its design to provide a good mix of...

Ok thanks 👍 I was just wondering if there was any point to my obsessive use of the tracker. It sounds like my obsessive use of the tracker is something that will continue. :LOL:

Nah, my other car is a Honda Odyssey minivan so I'm covered. An expensive toy is what my family wants for a 2nd vehicle. We have plans to camp at Silver Lake where I look forward to driving on the dunes. We have a road trip out west scheduled in the Fall, and we intend to take the Bronco so we...

What you've done here by stretching the Bronco is basically turn it into a van. I know you meant for this image to be a 4 door burn, but if I'm being completely honest...I'm kind of into it. A lifted 4wd off road Bronco-van? Yes please!

I considered a 2 door because I do like the way they look, but there were just too many compromises. I have a family of 4 and I actually felt that the back seat was totally fine for my kids to ride in; the 2 door would have been great for taking my kids to school and running errands around town...

For those of you that have a "built" and a "shipped" status, did you get an automated email from Ford when those status changes occurred? Or was it something you discovered on your own when randomly checking the tracker?

NOT MY BRONCO. It was just something I read in this article, and I don't remember ever seeing this mentioned here at all. It looks like Ford shipped this Bronco out with an LED tail light on one side and a standard halogen tail light on the other side. I guess that if your doing an ocd...

Is this top really a fiberglass top? I was under the impression that it was going to be some type of plastic composite type material, similar to the OEM top

Your main focus is probably to get the sale price in writing, but you should go one step further and get a written agreement on the total out the door price. If you don't, then you leave yourself open to all kinds of shenanigans.

I would probably choose a foot operated parking brake pedal. I would never have chosen to have my mechanical emergency brake be replaced with an electronic button. What's this world coming to? I guess I should consider myself lucky that there is a button, at least. Someday, they will probably...

My Bronco is stuck on ice mountain and it's too cold to take the top off even if I did have it. Im so friggin jealous right now...

I actually think that Ford did a pretty good job with this.

Agreed. It seems obvious that Ford lacks the work culture necessary to follow best practices. They will follow the path of least resistance.
