Sooo excited! This is my first glimpse of my new 2023 Ford Bronco Wildtrak. Currently enroute to come home to mama. My no name Bronco (still working on that) was built on December 6th, 2022 and is expected to arrive Jan 4, 2023. A few days ago it was in Illinois. Saw others had received an assembly line photo built the same week as mine. Decided to check my junk folder this morning and sure enough! Had an unread email with this photo! Cannot stop smiling. I've been obsessed reading all the forums, window shopping for accessories and prepping my current car for sale. After 3 years of impatiently waiting I am so ready to be a first time Bronco owner!

Congrats! I didn’t get a photo of mine coming off the assembly line, but I got an email from Ford apologizing for missing it. The email stated:
By now you and your Ford Bronco™ SUV have been united at last, and you’re already onto your next adventure.
We had hoped to surprise every customer with a picture of their Bronco™ as it was exiting the assembly line, but unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances at the plant, yours was missed. We guess it was ready to hit the off-road and couldn’t hold still for a photo.

Funny i didn't even notice that until you wrote it here. Good eye. They must not have installed it yet. However, I will be removing it anyway - going to do the matte black cowl stripe on the sides and hood.
As a fellow "Wildtraker" our eyes are trained differently😉 Please post some pics of the stripe mod when you do it. Happy New Year!

I got neither (so far). No pic and no emailed apology from Ford, so I guess there’s still a chance I could get one. I even went back to my junk mail folder, which I routinely empty into the trash (thank you, OCD), but saw nothing there. I also dumped out the trash. Ones and zeros everywhere! But still, I found no baby pics or apologies. Man that last sentence sounds like a line from a country song! 🤪

Aww man sorry to hear that. Did you already pick up your Bronco or is it still enroute?

Well... on the bright side your email folders are completely organized! 😄 Hopefully your photo will be sent shortly. Based on your signature yours shipped 12/16 - it's getting so close! I chatted on Ford.com yesterday with an agent and they confirmed mine last checked into Illinois rail station. It's been there for days........and the only thing on my mind is this car. Hurry up!

Will do! This is my inspo pic. Originally from Maxslider - that stripe is $545 on sale. I cannot bring myself to pay that much. That's a vinyl stripe with a 10 year lifespan. I found an alternative thru another guy who custom makes them with a 5 year lifespan. By that time I'll probably change out the stripe or upgrade the car. Also, a recent purchase I found this Ford chrome emblem delete - blacked out in matte with black gloss letters. Mud flaps are also on the way! (RekGen Merica Mud Flaps)

Welp, I finally found out why I didn't get my production line baby pic. Apparently, BOBO the FoMoCo Bonobo and MAP mascot got in the way and photobombed me!

I guess Ford thought it best to extend their "No Humans Allowed In Production Line Photos" to include primates. 😆

Thanks, but I can only take partial credit. It's actually a Bronco belonging to @BroncOitis. It bears a striking resemblance to mine. And to be completely honest, I don't know if Bobo is a bonobo or not. But it sounded good. LOL

The wonders of Photoshop, my friend. 😉 I did peel off your Big Bend badge, though. Thanks for unintentionally contributing to my juvenile delinquency, @BroncOitis.

The Stripe does look very nice on the Oxford White, if you don't plan on putting it on that's awsome too, the other colors that I find just as impressive would be A51 and Cactus Gray....
I have seen these with the stripe and they don't look bad at all.
My VB doesn't work well with the color I like, that being matte black or the matte dark gray, the only color that I have seen work with VB is white and I I like the Black on Blue theme....
If you have never put on PPF, you might want to have it done by an expert, not an easy task.....

I love the look of the VB with the white stripe looks stunning. But totally understand it's not in the selected black/VB palette. I'm definitely not attempting to put the decals on myself; am obtaining quotes from local professionals. Too risky. Waited 2.5 years for this car and not going to chance mucking it up.

Nice! Definitely get a retro vibe with the stripes but I hear ya, that's a lot of jingle for a decal--10 year warranty or not. If you are able to garage then the life of decals is greatly extended--sitting in the sun does them no good over time. I have seen pics of the emblem delete decals but have never seen one "live"--those are the touches that make your Bronc--yours! One of the first "mods" I did was add the decals to the dash inlay--pic attached.

Love that Bronco inlay! Anymore pics to share on your WT and mods you made? Good point on the garage aspect. It will be garage kept and the fact that I live in Washington state - we only have sun 2.5 months out of the year. Possibility my decal could last 15 years 😜 !!! Send pics and help keep those of us in waiting, motivated!

I have been taking it slow with mods since these guys are relatively new to the aftermarket I don't want to rush anything major only to find something better comes to market 3 months later. My wardrobe has expanded to include lots of fun Bronco stuff though😎 ...Etsy is a good place to find unique items of clothing and decals etc among other things. I'll attach some pics but so far: Added retro "Bronco" badge and relocated Wildtrak badge, Rigid Fog/Driving lights to the pockets of the HD mod bumper--wired each pair to aux switches 4-5-6 so I can control how bright I am😉 . Color matched D-rings on front bumper, Added OEM running boards, added body armor that covers pinch seam and wraps up to help protect door sills, changed out assist handles to match body color, added retro spare tire cover, tinted windows, personalized tag. Hang in there, the real fun starts very soon!

Gorgeous Bronco, @Wildbilt! I love that color. If I didn’t go with Velocity Blue, I would’ve gone with Race Red or Eruption Green. Great enhancements to your ride! 😍

The day I got my Bronco (2 days ago) I started making this Bronco Mine.
I brought it home with dry roads, then it started drizzling and making the roads a little nasty with the salt, so I decided to do some accents to the interior, most would have gone out cruising but I figured why get salt on it any sooner than I have to.
Anyhoo!
Here are (almost) finishing touches….
