In case you missed it. Was this a Friday or a Monday?
Hi Andrew,

Take away for me was the pick up box headboard...I suffered so much NVH issues on 4G with headboard resonance. I wanted a Waffle look....glad they made it more robust.. Also is automation of frame flip which was one of the most dangerous jobs in the plant..

Best,
Phil

They are doing that with the Bronco. Here is mine. (from here it went to their accessory shop for some add-ons.)

I was hoping to see where the 2 big circles on the inside my windshield came from. I've scrubbed the hell out of it and they still appear when the window fogs up. I'm assuming it's from 2 suction cups picking it up at some point but, you know, assuming...

If I had a 2 year wait I would expect a photo and maybe delivery to my door.

Those are cheap plastic push pins. Not acceptable but still a cheap fix.
