ADV Production Modular Hardtop!

[pakrat]

This is as good a thread as any to ask...is the Raptor top the same as a reg Bronco? The real question is will the ADV fit a Raptor? My cut-off date is rapidly approaching and if it works on a Raptor I might still be in depending on shipments.

Don’t worry, I’m sure they’re working on a video for that…

Now the "weekly" videos are now delayed. Hopefully will get a new one by September!

Yes Raptor tops are identical to regular Broncos

Well, we're about to hit September...
I'd ask if anyone has gotten a ship date, but I'm sure it would have been posted in 3" bold type

We haven't seen the head liner video, then if all goes well -- the INSTALL VIDEO, then "soon"-- the shipping notices are to go out. If I remember correctly from looooong ago, the INSTALL VIDEO would be released prior to the shipping notices going out
after waiting 18mos and counting. as well as 4 months after the molding was received and it was going to be all hands on deck. I am not the least bit confident about September.
there has to be a large number of completed tops sitting , waiting to be shipped.
Is there a discount to the shipper if they do it in bulk-- I have no idea why some haven't been shipped. I was trying to control myself and not post, but your post triggered my anticipated disappointment. It has been too many missed milestones .
I don't know if my soft top purchaser is still hanging in there waiting for my text, he probably feels the same as me.
When I told him waaaay back in may the molding was in and I was waiting on shipping info he was alllready with the cold beer to come on over.

now it looks more like a hot toddy is in order

I'm not at all confident in September (or even October for that matter).
While I'm incredibly impressed with what we've seen of the few tops that have been installed (and we've only heard initial "reviews" of those), I'm just trying to get a "OK, this is never happening, so I should just get a refund" date set in my own mind.
I try to not think about it myself as well, but every Tuesday, I wonder what video is/isn't being releaded...

be nice if somebody drove over and took a peek at possible "inventory" waiting to be shipped.
Its a weeks drive for me to get there--i dont fly

 

[Kjbeggs]

I tried messaging them, just to see what kind of response I'd get...
Got the same "We're ramping up for final assembly, but hey, check out our awesome videos..." response they've been spitting out for the past 2-3 months (Even after asking for my order number)

I wonder if they don't have enough people and are hesitant to hire some final assembly "expert" help.
My two friends keep asking me on the statis of the top.-- they are not ordering until they seen mine-- they both want 1 piece.
One told me that new orders are expected to be shipped in 12 weeks--- I started hysterical laughing-- her husband (who doesn't want the top) said they are not ordering util they inspect mine.-- they ADV ,have to have an inventory of finished tops ready to go, OR there is a big Fn%%% problem that is screwing the whole assembly up.

Damn fellas I hate when you all start posting and it is nothing new or good. Gets the hamster wheel in my head started up and thinking.

Todays pessimistic ADV thought = If there are 200 fully prepaid orders that is over $1 mil. If everyone stars cancelling they could go belly-up and alot of people will be out some serious cash. It's like musical chairs and nobody wants to be the last to try and get a refund.

Sorry for that, sometimes I say the part I should keep to myself. Any day now good news is coming (attitude adjusted).

The hardest part is they’ve said the cost will go up after preorders are done.

Good news...preordering is indefinite.

I’m referring to his buddies that want to wait and see it, from what I understand once these start going out they will up the price.
