Itās just a good idea on any vehicle to unload the driveline when shifting into/out of 4WD. Even if you just let off the throttle, thatās fine. Not saying thatās specifically the issue this particular Bronco owner was having, that was more just general advice for people new to 4x4 vehicles
When shifting through GOAT modes it might be prudent to put your transmission in N to take load off the driveline. Pop your Bronco in N, unload the driveline then hold the brake, select the appropriate mode and roll on. With every electronic shift transfer case itās a good idea to unload the...
Well Jeep went to 4.88ās on the manual for their āXtreme Reconā:rolleyes: 35ā tire package on the manual for 22ā (100:1 crawl ratio). The Rubicon auto XRs are getting 4.56s. Ford doesnāt like to be outdone so I wouldnāt be shocked if they go to 4.88s as well. Trust me, it needs it with the...
Autoās definitely have their place off-road, especially with newer drivers and/or very technical crawling. When doing rock ledges for example, an auto is much easier to use, especially if you use left foot breaking to modulate your speed (what One Pedal Drive does for you on the auto Broncos)...
I tried Crawl in 2HI as well and just let the clutch out at idle and it chugged along. Didnāt get a speed on that though. As long as you donāt dump the clutch itāll just idle along in gear
5.13s would be ideal for 37s or even 35s if you wanted more pep for sure. I personally wouldnāt go deeper than 5.13s in a Dana 44 cause you start running into pinion strength issues especially when wheeling.
It definitely wouldnāt hurt, only thing Iād be concerned with at that point is if the factory clutch can handle the added power without slipping under high load scenarios. If so, will probably be a popular option. If you have to wait for a clutch upgrade...maybe not so much. Time will tell I...
Didnāt want to double post but hereās a link to my initial test drive impressions of the 2.3/7MT in a 4dr Badlands:

Got to scoot up to Capital Ford in Raleigh today to get some seat time behind the wheel of a 4dr Cyber Orange Badlands with the 2.3/7MT. First time seeing a Bronco in person and obviously my first time behind the wheel. This particular one had the leather interior, soft top and the Lux package...
Might bring a $50 or so to bribe the salesman for an...āextendedā drive when I go on Friday. Iām not gonna be satisfied with a 2 stoplight test drive considering Iām driving 2 hours each way to check this Bronco out
This is what happens to tires when you drive spirited off-road or use them heavily in rocks/drifting/exclusively off-road as these Broncoās are being used. Plenty of Raptor guys have posted about the same thing. Not abnormal for the Bronco or the Goodyear tire specifically. Nature of the beast...
