When we were talking about the truck Jimmy was asking questions and taking some notes, which excited me that even though Slate may not change some things, they ARE listening.
I made it very clear that one of the most talked about hangups I see in my social channels is the 1,000 lb towing...
I meant to get pictures of the underside yesterday, but as I started taking my 360 photos they had to take it away for the parade, haha. Sorry about that!!!
It's also possible I misinterpreted what was being said. I was going to record, but we got started talking about all kinds of other things and I forgot. I wrote down notes for each answer.
I think it was more that they are still testing candidates. My guess is that it would be near completion. Or I misunderstood what they were saying, haha.
Alright folks, I got to meet more members of the team at Slate! Jimmy and a couple other team members (I feel bad I can't recall their names - sorry other Slate team members!!!!) were a HUGE help in answering some of your questions, though I'm hoping you won't be TOO surprised and/or...

In the launch video they said a pro could wrap this vehicle in as little as 30 minutes and that any ole Joe should be able to wrap it in a few hours - the panels were specifically engineered / designed to be easy to wrap. May be easier to just wrap it or put a clear/colored PPF on it.
I think they meant the actual Bronco II model / trim, not the generation. Was one of my first vehicles. I think it's definitely a pretty darn close comparison if the Bronco II had a removable cap!
