GEN 2 Truck Order Discussion

Dealer now shows me as "unscheduled, clean" hopefully it stays that way or makes froward progression and not any holds.

Thanks for posting RW - def loving the few pics of magnetic I've seen and am glad I ordered one.I have to agree with you though on the wheels - they aren't the best look. I didn't order the factory fake beadlocks because they're just that, but they sure do look a lot better than those. I guess I'll save my money and hope the aftermarket makes some solid choices in the same size/offset as stock...I'm not a big fan of messing up suspension geometry with offsize aftermarket wheels...even though they sometimes look cool.

How are the factory bead lock capable wheels fake bead locks?

I probably should edit my post - was just being a bit sarcastic because I think they are difficult to use, if they are like the others. See here for more discussion/speculation. http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f260/questions-ford-bead-lock-wheels-49061/

I agree that they do not come with the bead lock ring installed, but If the ring is installed, they are true bead lock wheels. Hence "bead lock capable". I would like to see the rings included, but since they didn't include them on the Gen1, I don't suspect they will on the Gen2. Also even if they weren't bead lock capable, I would still choose a forged wheel over cast every day of the week. Especially on an off-road truck.

Yes and for now I plan on staying with it. I did email them back asking if they have heard of any material hold issues - no response yet

"waiting on a build date!

I just got this response from FB Ford Service! What you guys think?

“ Hey, Lou! Congrats on your order. It is in the system and is currently waiting on a build date. Check in with us, weekly, for additional updates.”

Is this better than “unscheduled, clean”?

Sorry, tried to post the screen shot but having hard time.
