Did you get this resolved? Same issue here. Stopped working. Thought it was because I had removed doors. Vitiated dealer. No codes, no ideas. Doors back on. Still greyed out / inoperable.

That’s good news - sort of. Perhaps it’s intermittent based on confused codes from the driver’s door. I’ll find out when I put ‘em back on in a couple of days maybe. Thank you for replying.

Thank you. Hmmm, looks like I’ve got a mystery.

Update: a day after putting the doors back on, the start stop started working again. It wasn’t immediate…it just randomly started functionally normally after a half dozen short trips and some miles. Others here have reported the same issue. Odd. The automatic start stop feature on my 7MT...

Air pulps might be very hard to find.

OK, I’ll bite. How does using the lockers interfere with traction control? I assume the trac control works by sensing wheel spin under acceleration and applies brake to the slipping wheel while limiting throttle… I also guess it’s on the rear axle only but didn’t look it up. Please if you...

65 ish failures detailed on this forum alone. I suspect there’s lots of people with failed 2.7s that have never heard of bronco6g.com.

I have the canvas / non-mesh Ford top for a 2 door available. Unused never installed. Make me an offer….anyone that wants it. I’m in Virginia.

For those that have broken tie rods…and curiosity regarding the number….

I have a 2 door manual Badlands Sasquatch. I love it both on and off road. It’s super easy to use off road. In low range you can start off in crawl, 1, or 2 depending on the terrain and speed you want, and it just ambles along without really any throttle or clutching. It crawls up steep...

I’m sure they’d love to check it out as a real world practical analyze and learn project. Let us know what they say! I’d also raise holy hell with Ford over the safety risk. Your situation is much different that the average trail failure.

Great feature! A design that snaps tie rods by turning the steering wheel? If only they had a smaller natural turning circle augmented by some sort of “driveway turn assist”.

This is concerning. It’s only a matter of time before one breaks at speed on the highway and someone gets hurt. I too suspect a quality issue with the rod itself. They are too brittle. They should bend a fair amount before snapping - and breakage should only occur once bending limits have...

Yeah I agree that better tie rods are the “best” answer. Just too spendy for my interest. And agree, not worried about the CV breaking. Shop opinion is using the lockers at full droop tends to push thr tie rods to breaking limit, more than otherwise.

I’d like to cost-effectively reduce or eliminate the possibility of tie-rod breakage on my 22 2 door Badlands Man-Squatch. Original plan was Peak Suspension tie rod sleeves, but my local trusted 4x4 shop recommends strongly against. They say this is a very dumb idea that increases the chance...

IMHO, you really don’t want or need 6’th unless your doing over 60. In my 2 door Bad Man Squatch I typically run in 5’th up to about 65, maybe a tad lower if the road is pancake flat. Not towing just driving. Ford suggests 2 to 3K rpm is the efficiency sweet spot, your preference may vary of...

Finally got mine done.

The Braptor is actually wider at the flares by a fraction of an inch or so. And it pretty much weighs the same.

I’m wondering why you’d do this. Pluses - You like the look, I presume. Minuses - Added width is a negative on many trails. I just spent a weekend trying to squeeze my Bronco down wooded rocky trails behind a bunch of jeeps. In no case was width my friend or theirs. On many trails I had...

Maybe if I keep them in my cigar humidor? On second thought I’m not THAT OCD. :)
