    Must be really horrible in Canada, cause there's next to none here. Other than the occasional "stay pumped".

    New Bronco

    Think there was somebody on Facebook trying to gather all color/trim options so he could give them to people that didn't get them.

    New Bronco

    Yeah, sitting here with most of the deadly sins (Badlands, Sasquatch, 2.7l, MIC). 7/19/20 reservation, so first week. Did give me a shot at the Raptor, but it seems those golden tickets only went to day 1 or 2 reservations. I dropped the tow also to maybe help things along, no joy so far. I...

    So, how long has the wait been (so far)? Seeing the MIC top, assume you had an early reservation and been sitting on an order for sometime now

    Don't forget about Cyber Orange (you know, the yellow one) or Hot Pepper Red (you know, the almost orange one)

    So, the big reveal today of the Bronco Raptor. I guess they sent out an email today to all the long suffering unscheduled reservation holders to see if we are interested. I can hear all the dealers licking their chops at the ludicrous ADM they'll be able to throw on them.

    There's some 3rd party ones starting to show up. While they now do allow on the Sasquatch 4dr versions,they are restrained to only the 2.3l 4 cylinders. Think I saw somewhere that they give it a rating of 0lbs for dynamic loading, i.e. you can use but, but you're not supposed to move the...

    Well, another scheduling cycle, another disappointment... Seems they have the MIC top production stabilized now, there's still a few constraints (PPF for some odd reason seems to be a big one, maybe they only have 1 person who can install it?) still having problems with the tow package, I...

    Well, unless you have a VIN and it's about to be built, you can always change your order...

    Yeah, the $695 for the MIC top is based on it being built with it. Reports are out there that the 2dr MIC top stand alone is almost $10k, 4 DR over $13k. They may be inflated right now so they can discourage people from buying them until they can get caught up with production. Doubt you would...

    Jeep Wrangler as a TOAD?

    We use a ReadyBrute tow bar for our 2dr JK. Rather than an electricval braking system toed into a controller, it's actually just a surge brake type of set up. Have been very happy with it. https://www.readybrake.com/store/c31/Tow_Bars_w%2F_built-in_Braking_System.html

    While Granger may be selling at some of the lowest prices, they don't have the allocations to support what they've already booked. You might be lucky to get one in '23 if you ordered through them now.

    New Bronco

    Interesting, while not looking at the Canadian prices but when I configure them both the same way, I come up with a ~$800 US difference. Wildtrack only has the 2.7l and Squatch is a part of Wildtrack. Anyway, yeah the wait is frustrating, especially as people are getting builds pretty soon...

    New Bronco

    Not sure how you're coming up with a $6k difference. I come up with ~$800 when I do it, could even be a little bit less than a Wildtrack if I do the 2.3L. Main differences between a BadSquatch and a Wildtrack are Sway bar disco, full bash plates, and MGV interior. Any of the differences in...

    New Bronco

    Yeah, in typical Ford fashion, something is wonky with the Build & Price. I went in and built a Badlands and when you get to the end it's actually an Outer Banks, not a Badlands.

    How to store a fiberglass topper/shell when not using it?

    No pictures, but I hacked together a framework of 2x4s to lift/slide it off the truck (2 down the length and 2 across) with the shell bolted to it. The longitudinal ones are about 12-14" longer than the shell. I use those to stand the shell on, leaning/supported against the wall of the shed...

    Yeah, actually just saw one this weekend coming down from a snow run. Starting to see them once in a while (Seattle area and Wenatchee). At one point I had seen as many Rivians as I had Bronco's

    New Bronco

    2 doors are only available with the hardtop (MIC, there is another hardtop that won't be available to 2023, if ever...). Because of the problems Webasto had (maker of the hardtop), Ford was pushing everyone to switch to soft tops. For a while 4 doors with MICs will be a rare sighting but it...

    We did the Winter Alcan 5000 in 2020. First night in Inuvik we didn't have a plug in, it was ~-30f. Jeep started , but it didn't like it at all. Next night had it plugged in (heat pad on oil pan), no squaking about it. Diffs needed to be coaxed slowly into turning still though.
