Totally agree with the G-Wagon, I'm sure they are cool if they were tricked out right, but they seem to be a status symbol only. And yes, being from Florida, I did forget the idea that they (4X4's) would come in very handy in the snow. But my F-150 (4x4), was exactly like I would have ordered...

Very interesting thread, I like this tech stuff. I have a Badlands with a manual so I guess I don't have the IWE's. I also have a F-150 that I just replaced the first IWE at about 200K miles. I don't know how reliable they are supposed to be. I don't do hardly any wheeling with the F-150, I...

Yes also not making fun of the Bronco Sport, but the way a Bronco owner views off roading and the way a Bronco Sport owner views off roading is a bit different. I would never attempt half the stuff I do with a Bronco Sport, but I have a 2 door Bronco Badlands, marketed by Ford as "for extreme...

There are lots of types of off roading. I hate mud, too much cleaning involved. I love more technical stuff. I like rock crawling, but we have basically two parks in Florida that are worth going to for that and that's about it. To me rock crawling is a super high adrenline rush for such a...

So, the "anti-stall" function aids you, it doesn't prevent a stall. The vehicle will hold for 2-3 seconds after you release the brakes allowing you to switch pedals and the engine advances to 1200rpm versus 800 when you start to take your foot off the clutch. These help, but I have stalled it...

It's still in process with Ford. Been there since the 20th. There are several levels it has to go through, looking to have a Ford Field Service Engineer look at it next. I suspect, based on what I've been told, it will be a few more weeks.

Yeah I have no idea now that I haven't driven it in almost a month. I can't remember all the particulars.

Yeah, I want to go through some actions and scenarios once I get it back. I did comfirm what another said that you can't pop clutch start a 6G Bronco, how disappointing. I can't remember now, but I believe I have auto started in 4L, but I could be wrong. Because I have stalled it a few times...

I think there is a lot of hype there with that new Landcrusier, I think Toyota will not have the same quality issues plaguing the Bronco, but that hardly looks liek anything that can do serious offroading without major aftermarket upgrades. And to get a lot fo the goodies, you have to move way...

Yeah, so the base of the winch sits about 2" or so below the top of the bumper. Is your light bar on the top fo the bumper or lower part?

I have a JCR on the stock modular bumper, with a Sherpa 4X4. I was told that most winches are pretty similar as far as mating points, at least the Sherpa was designed with the same pattern as the Warn.

UPDATE***SO THERE WAS A POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION CODE I FOUND A FEW DAYS LATER THAT HAPPENED JUST BEFORE THE INCIDENT, THE TRUCK IS AT FORD NOW, SO I WILL DO A FOLLOW UP VIDEO WITH MORE ANSWERS ONCE I HAVE THEM***

Yep, thanks for your kind words, yes in retrospect, I think letting the clutch out was my only options at all really. Someone did recommend installing a larger vacuum reservior , so maybe I''ll look into that and check out that video they posted too, well one before that post. Thing is, I have...

Yep, I have heard that also, but I never touched the gas, that is the one thing I'm sure of.

Yeah, I would like to find a good safe place to play with this issue again, but I'm not sure how to bleed out enough vacuum to duplicate the issue again. Also the vehicle just stops when you pop the clutch, so would the engine rotate enough to create enough vacuum? I don't know, I'm just asking.

To be perfectly honest, I don't know if I shifted again to another gear, most likely not, as I was focused on the restart, but yes, if in 1st, it would have just stopped or maybe turned the engine backwards, but very slow anyway. But if I was thinking, apparently to no avail, I would have...

Yes, that seems to be a common sound, usually in 4L, it's likes it's when it's transitioning from one gear or maybe load to the next. I think I'm not describing that well enough. I just assumed that sound was normal as that sound likely has nothing to do with what happened here. Some have...

True, but a hand brake is a good quick grab away, not something an electronic one probably could provide. I do agree that some if nto many of the new items are good, but this situation maybe begs for an old style hand brake that is mechancial in nature. Not as good as power brakes, but it is a...

Hey guys, thanks for all the replies. I think a lot of these were very helpful in trying to figure some things out. I just want to make clear what happened to answer some questions, maybe this will help in the future, maybe not, hopefully with these experiences, despite being painful, maybe we...
