Mine has been stuck in the NS Oakwood yard for 32 hours now

Mine was stuck there for almost 36 hours before moving on to Trenton, MI.

My guess is ours will arrive at the same time. I'm in Phoenix, but I buy all my vehicles in Tucson. I'm checking the train thing every morning and my sales guy says I'm obsessed - he's not wrong.

Last I checked this morning (around 9am) the train had already departed the yard in Harper, Kansas. Seems like it's going pretty quick right now, at around 1am it was just arriving in Kansas City.

Which dealer are you buying from, if you don't mind me asking?

I'll be officially picking up mine tomorrow afternoon.

I got the same info when I called this morning. I only check once a day, so I think a lot happens that I miss out on! I'm buying from Jim Click, what about you? I'm a Z-Plan buyer, and a lot of dealerships don't treat us super well, but the folks at JCF have always been absolutely incredible to us.

Heck yeah! If I'm this excited for you I can't imagine how excited I'm going to be when I am that close to picking up mine!

I'm buying through Holmes Tuttle (part of the Jim Click group) buying through an employee plan as well!

That's really awesome! Gotta love the nice perk of a discount on these bad boys too, right? Even if it only ends up being 3-4k it makes me feel a lot better about the $$$ I'm dropping!

Definitely! I'm gonna drive this thing till it dies so I don't mind the price, but any little bit helps!

Waiting on shipment, new eta 8/28 to 9/3. Don't like the sound of glue recall is that 2 dr or 4, soft or hard if you don't mind me getting so personal.

Same here.

My dad bought a 1986 Jimmy (the big one) brand new, and he was going to keep it until the wheels fell off. But then some asshat decided to steal it out of our office parking garage in the early 00's. He was heartbroken (as was I because I wanted to inherit her one day) and ever since he's never had a vehicle he's loved as much or that was as versatile for hunting. When I decided to buy my 4dr Bronco, he was a big part of that decision, and said he only hoped that my luck with her would be better than his luck with the Jimmy. I can't wait to get her on some dirt roads during turkey and deer this Fall, it's gonna be epic.

Mine's a 4 dr MIC top. I feel like if any of that were accurate, though, we'd have seen it on the forum. There's too many dealers and employees on here for that to be a secret. Also, I called marketing this afternoon - no update unfortunately, but she did say that a warranty issue would not delay shipping. It might delay the sale after delivery, though.

I guess we should just try to stay patient. But my credit union is impatient. The tire store is impatient. My family is impatient. So it ain't easy.

I'm so sorry to hear that, that's such a bummer. Hopefully someday he can find another car like that!

I think he'll just want to borrow my Bronco now

Also, I have the itch apparently - I just called to track and it says it left Oklahoma a little bit ago! We're a'movin'!
