01/23/2023 Build Week

[MikeinTN]

This is my younger son and he's 15 so he'll learn how to drive in this little base 2 door then it will be his to use so he's going to do most of the work, it will be his 1st lift! I sent my older son off to CSU this yr and we did the same as you but with a Tacoma since Ford has had us waiting for 2 years as well....

I already have the Bronco letters got them off Amazon for like $20, they seem nice and stick on with 3M tape, IMO the base just looks naked with the black letters.

Definitely awesome to build the memories! I was looking at backlit letters but idk if I will.

I have been accumulating lots of accessories for my Bronco when it gets here. I have bumper lights, A-pillar lights, BYOD bar, mounts for phone and handheld GMRS radio, Off-road shackles, tailgate table, some recovery gear, under hood ARB air compressor, and I plan on adding weather Pak electrical connectors to all 6 AUX switches and labeling them. That way if I decide I want to change the order of the accessories, I can just unplug and re-plug in (Within amperage limits).

Good idea on the plugs .
I’ve been looking at the ARB , we mounted one of my brothers FJ with a small holding tank in the back cargo area and it’s nice on trail rides .

I'm in disbelief. Rail car with my Bronco arrived at the Rail yard yesterday. Now i just have to wait for the truck to pick it up and bring it to the dealership.
Looks like a lot of people from 1/16 build week started receiving their Broncos last week.
So maybe this really is our week to start getting them.

Mine still hasn't shipped, and I'm just 2 hours west of Detroit. Should I offer to go get it, if they are struggling loading it for a 150-mile journey?

Has anyone here bought wheel locks? Or does the Bronco come with them?

Ok guys I finally got updated to shipped in the tracker, now that you guys are pro's I need to figure out how to track this thing too. Chat says it's been received by the carrier and on ramp 51 in Flatrock MI with no rail car # yet. I'm assuming you guys are getting the rail car # but a few said they won't provide it is that correct?

I see your bronco has been shipped and at the same location in flat rock Michigan as mine. So i think we’ll prob get the rail number in the next coming days (I’m hoping) cause i can track mine there via gps and even though it said shipped it’s still waiting at the train yard.

Just called, West Lake Fl at 9:15 pm!!!! Should be arriving in Miami in the next hour or so if it didn’t stop. I live near an FEC railroad I might go set up a tent by it and waive as they do by.

We are not that lucky brotha, There is a region of "Westlakes" just west of jacksonville. I called the 1-800 and its pinging at Northfolk Southern rail yard in jacksonville now. Also on the Freight Tracker I got a text message saying "Interchange complete" with my VIN Scanned. Not sure if there are trucking it from jacksonville on Semi Truck or loading it into a FEC/CSX Train to the commute to Miami. I wish it was Westlake Near Royal Palm Beach lol.... but i knew that wasnt possible there are no railroads in that area, they are all on the Coast from jacksonville down that Norfolk Southern, Florida East Coast or CSX would use.

Ahhh suckage. I didn’t check it after midday Saturday until you posted about it so I didn’t know how little it moved. That’s why I wished we could track it online. What freight tracker are you talking about?

So my dealer uses a Tracking App called "Vinview FreightVerify" from what I was told by the Head Manger only they have access to it not the sales Reps for Live tracking. While there he signed me up for live Text message updates. when i provided my phone number. Everytime the VIN window bar code is scanned it sends a update.

i asked my guy about getting access to that last week and he hasn't responded. i don't feel like bugging him so i'll just live through you.

According to Ford chat, railcar made it to destination yard 2/5, which is ~40mi from the dealership. We may actually beat the est delivery date. Estimated delivery date also moved up a week in the tracker sometime this morning.

My Bronco was delivered to the dealership. Hopefully I can pick it up in the next few days!

Nice! I must be one of the unlucky ones that did not pass QA. Mine was built on the 27th, but still no sign of shipping
