I did a write up on the DV8 MTO bumper at the link below. Iād did some air flow measurements at 35mph and saw a 36% reduction in air speed at the intercooler.

Here is my Big Bend Sasquatch build.
I decided to go with the DV8 MTO winch bumper. I was looking for a bumper that kept the winch somewhat enclosed but still allowed for good airflow. This DV8 bumper seemed to be a good compromise. The bumper arrived expertly packaged and I reached out to...
I received and installed my Morimoto XRGBs last week. I'll do a longer post on the lights soon but I did want to quickly share some information about the colors since that seems to be a hot topic for some. It is correct that these are not RGBWs with white-only LEDs, but I've been able to dial in...
This. The kids have been talking/wishing about getting a Bronco for some time now but they had no idea one was actually on its way. We took delivery on Wednesday, stashed it away for a few days and surprised the kids on Christmas morning. In my family this is known as a āTo: Dad, From: Dadā gift.
Hereās another thread āOGā moving on. Wishing you all a speedy delivery and Iāll catch you on the flippity flip.
For your reference, here are my final dates from blend to delivery:
9/12 Blend date
9/30 āBuiltā
(56 days on Dirt Mountain)
11/25 āShippedā with assigned rail car
11/28...
Congrats! Today will be day 9 at Cottage Grove for me ā it sounds like our rigs were on the same train. If mine doesnāt make it on a transport Monday or Tuesday I may have to do a āpaper deliveryā next week to preserve my interest rate.
9/12 blend and still not delivered. Today is day 8 of the Bronco being off the train and stuck at the transfer yard. Are there any other 9/12ers left on here still waiting to get their rigs?
Update on my rig. She moved reasonably quickly once shipped although she did spend 7 days bouncing around IHB yards in Chicago. Iāll assume the parking garage guys from Ferris Bueller took her for a joy ride.

My Bronco moved to āshippedā yesterday, too. It looks like a bunch of us that all suspiciously moved to built at the very end of September also moved to shipped this week. I have a rail car number and CSX tracking says it is still at Wayne with the next stop being Blue Island (Chicago)...
For the record, my Bronco moved to āshippedā yesterday. 74 days since blend (9/12) and 56 days since it was released (9/30). Iāll be moving over to the āstuck in transitā thread now. Hope to see the rest of you over there soon.
Day 50 awaiting shipment. Day 68 since blend (9/12). Dealer says there is nothing they can do to expedite it. My Bronco was in that suspiciously large group of builds that moved to ābuiltā on the last day of the 3rd quarter. Getting myself into the mindset that delivery will likely be sometime...
Just checked in with Ford chat. ETA to Minnesota (via rail) is now 10/17-10/23.
Winch was delivered yesterday. DV8 MTO front bumper arrives this weekend.
9/12 blend, 9/13 modules, 9/14 tear tag, 9/30 built-awaiting shipment
Hereās a reason for optimism for the āstuck in productionā crowd. My Broncoās status changed to ābuiltā overnight.
9/12 blend, 9/13 modules, 9/14 tear tag, 9/28 chip hold, 9/30 built-awaiting shipment
Just checked in with Ford chat and was told my status remains "In Production" but now with "Micro Chip At Plant On Hold."
9/12 blend, 9/13 modules, 9/14 tear tag, 9/28 still "In Production"
Count me among the "In Production" purgatory builds. Day 11 since blend. Earlier this week chat told me it was "produced" and gave an estimated delivery week of 10/3. I checked again today and was told that now it won't be "produced" until 10/9 and there is no longer an estimated delivery date...
I was just about in the middle of the 794 builds yesterday (9/12). No modules active yet but Iāll keep checking and will let you all know how long it takes. Iām in Minnesota so sheāll be coming via rail. Iām hoping the rail strike is averted for more reasons than just getting my Bronco.
