For those that are still waiting, I know every day is an eternity but it's my first full day of having mine and I hope the trackers are wrong and you all receive it soon and that they are flawless.

Either they must've doubled their QA or maybe I was simply expecting some of the issues that were brought up here and there were none so far. Even the zip tie around the washer fluid reservoir has been addressed lol. The heating element for the rear defroster seems solid. The grab handles were solid and the hard top panels were all good from what I see. I picked it up last night and drove it 150 miles today and I still find myself smiling and I keep checking up on it and sitting in the seat while it's parked. And this is coming from a bone stock vehicle.
Is there a list somewhere that outlines all the common issues people are finding? I want to make sure to know what to look for but honestly have no clue. All of this is news to me.

Easy -v,

It would be great to return to times where delivery was expected within two weeks and no parts delays. Our country is going to have to do a 180 and eliminate a lot of fluff before we get there...if we can even get there again.
My point is the tracker system, anecdotally, appears to either reached a limit based on what people are saying - reports of my status never updated and it was delivered, etc.

If you read that article all the ills of not having had the system appear to have remanifested themselves possibly as a result of operational dysfunction compounded by other factors (JCAT?)

I forget who said it but maybe all of us on plant hold are related to chips. I’m not sure why our trackers are saying built(probably to inflate their “produced numbers”.

Seems like what I have seen is most of us on plant hold have the high or lux package. Maybe something (or multiple) things in those packages is causing our delays?

Also, any of my AZ friends get theirs this week? I recall seeing a picture from the rail yard but haven’t seen anyone take delivery
Yes, folks AZ are getting their ponies. The AZ Bronco FB page is showing people taking delivery. The BNSF hotline says mine was unloaded yesterday in the railyard.

Pay close attn to the pulley brkt riding on the coolant hose...mine had this issue when i took delivery 2 weeks ago.

Also...pay close attn to your door and panel gaps. Me and a few other folks noted this, with a few reporting the back doors rubbing upon closure.

Finally, a few in the 1/3 Build week noted the material on the sides of their driver and passenger seats were different: full leather/vinyl on driver's; cloth on passenger's where it should have been full leather/vinyl

Also...i added a link to the TSBs. Take a few moments to review the OCD and TSBs prior to your delivery. Lots of good info on it.

Enjoy your Broncos!

Installed the steps first of all, just to climb to the seat easier. Replacing the wheels, I lost a few pounds of fat. 285/70R17, 71 LB per wheel, it's hard to put them in place. Jacking up a truck first time in my life, also helped in the weight loss. The all black grille looks so big, it needs colored BRONCO letters to be the focal point. That's my next step.

Thank you very much. This is extremely helpful.

How have the dealers been responding (or how did yours)? Did they just fix the issues you caught or did they give you a hard time?
