Blend date is tomorrow(9/1), so hopefully in a couple weeks I can be in that group.
Res in first 10 minutes. Scheduled on 8/12 for week of 8/30.
Build specs in sig.
Update: After switching to soft top with prep kit, on 8/12 I got my VIN with a 8/30 build week. I just checked and I am officially "In production" with a window sticker generated. Looks like my blend date is 9/01. It's happening!
@BroncoUnicorn Great work. So do you have a CB unit in the console with the main unit for the GMRS as well. I'm trying to figure out where I'm going to mount multiple radios myself, so seeing what you have done have got the hamsters spinning the wheel again.
Southhaven, MS is a suburb of Memphis,TN where FedEx has their HQ so it is a major hub in their distribution, so not that surprising on the route taken.
This does seem to fit the other news we've heard. All the chaos is resulting in a smaller number of total MY21 builds. Plus the backend of the MY21 schedule will be full of unscheduled FEs and already scheduled hardtop builds. Besides just total unit constraints the FEs and what are likely...

These pictures are from one of the touring Badlands with MGV I saw this spring. Hope it helps.
Edit: maybe this was from the leather Badlands, based on the carpet, but still a badlands.
Nope because they are all soft tops and will actually get delivered. The bad batch in the lot rotting are bad mic tops.
This is great news for those in this group. You will also notice a lot of 2.7l, sas, Lux, etc... because the FEs are pushed out a bit and not eating up all the current stock...
Scheduling for new builds is occurring Today. I just got my e-mail a few minutes ago.
4dr Badlands SAS, A51, 2.7L, MGV, Lux, Tow, recently switched to Softtop and prep kit once they offered it.
I was a first 10 minutes reservation (actually a FE rez, but ordered Badlands for MGV).
First 10 minutes no VIN.
4dr Badlands, 2.7L, SAS, MGV, Lux, Tow, A51 (Was FE reservation, but ordered Badlands)
