Yeah, they all seem like brokers. Not sure how we can verify insurance. I haven't received a contract yet for any company but definitely wouldn't sign anything unless I was confident insurance was legit.
Thanks! Their quote was slightly higher than Safe Auto Trucking for me but still really good.
Reviews are atrocious though (and reviews for Safe Auto Trucking, at least the positive ones, read like a bot or someone was paid to write them). I can't even find either on Yelp.
Please let us know...
I talked to them on the phone and they didn't come across as a super professional buttoned up operation. Lepke quote is $1400 vs their quote for $800 so I'm still considering the cheaper option but also would like to hear from someone with a successful experience. I have a couple weeks yet...
I'm still considering a drive back to NorCal. You might want to look at the Off-Rodeo in Moab. Last I checked there were still slots for 5/27. It would be a lot of fun to hit some trails and roadtrip back but it's pretty cheap to ship and so much more convenient. I'm torn.
Indeed, fingers crossed! After nearly 1000 days of waiting you would think I would be zen about everything but I have a feeling these last couple weeks of waiting will feel the longest.
Any idea what the difference is between "Received at Junction Point" and "Arrived at Junction Point?"
Apparently mine was "received" 5/23 and "arrived" today.
My 4/17 blend date badlands is on railcar # BNSF301372 sitting in Blue Island, IL and heading to Granger. Any other Granger orders on the same railcar?
eta: 5/8-/5/14 estimated delivery date. does this sound right? seems like a long time to go 350 miles.
Yes they did, window sticker put the build at 833/916 on 4/17 but modules populated sometime early morning yesterday (4/18). Tracker says built 4/18. No email yet.
eta: Shipped email came through around 1am pacific time this morning (4/20).
Also built 4/18 with estimated delivery window of 5/8-5/14. I was planning to ship to CA but now I'm thinking I could sign up for the Moab Off-Rodeo on 5/27 and drive back instead over Memorial Day weekend. Decisions decisions
Thanks for this. I was quoted $800 open / $1400 enclosed trailer from Granger to SF Bay Area which is cheaper than anywhere else I've found. Insurance coverage limit is $100k. I think I'll go with the open trailer unless timing works out so that I can pick up before Memorial Day and hit up the...
How long after arrival on the lot can we pick up? Is it generally next day or does it take a few days? Seems like there's an outside chance mine will arrive by Memorial Day weekend. If it does, I may pivot off my plan to ship and use the long weekend to drive back to CA.
@omg_bbq Thanks! I would totally do the trip if my work schedule permitted and stop in Telluride and/or Moab on the way. If mine is delayed and it works to pick up the week of July 4th I may pivot and fly out. Shipping just seems so easy and $1400 isn't bad (would be even lower if we can fill a...
It's probably a long shot but are there any other Granger customers in the bay area getting built over the next few weeks and planning to ship to CA? And if so, is there any interest in coordinating shipment like the CO folks did?
eta: Assuming no group shipment, I'm looking at Lepke Auto...
Sorry to everyone dealing with these increases.
This thread is making me feel like the long wait and all the BS Ford pulled over the past few years was worth it for Grangetober reservation holders. I feel like I'm stealing my 2 door Badlands at $4500 below 2021 invoice factoring in the $2500...
Which Icon setup are you looking at for the 2 door BL?
I was thinking of adding Eibach springs to give a stance a bit higher than SAS, adding real 35s once the 33s wear out, and calling it good at least until the warranty runs out. This is a pretty cheap way to get something at least as good...
I removed Lux/SAS from my 2 Dr BL build and went with non-SAS High instead; I never should have had either Lux or SAS as both are overpriced on the Badlands but worked out really well with the extra $2500.
Citation needed. This is directly at odds with what Granger and Ford have conveyed to me verbally and the FAQs Ford has published regarding the program. It's Ford so I guess possible (probable?) the rockstars screwed this up in the system but tread carefully.
