100% what you said, super cool, not $40K more cool and while I didn't witness it, many with the local club saw had one involved in a ride with an experienced off roader and they had similar issues, likely because of size.

BTW, love your ride, 👍 Mine was also a stock Badlands, but then I found some pull-offs. And did a few other things.

Full sixe what though, I mean the current Bronco 2 door is slightly larger than the original Bronco right, but smaller than the F-150 derived version.

Yeah agreed, I wonder if that would have worked had I gotten to pulling/setting it. It is weird it being an off road vehicle with power brakes that they don't have one.

Yep, it was in 4Low, and I think I've been in those situations before, but it could be I've always been in 4H or maybe when I was in 4L, it's been level ground when I've installed it maybe. Ugh, I hate learning things this way.

Yes, wondering if that was part of the problem.

I agree the line was wrong, I backed up to try a different line, but the rock in the middle had to be overcome and although I'm not a fan of speed usually, momentum did get me over that spot last time and it was the only way I got over last time trying everything else first. Now obviously, in...

Yeah, I think I have started it before rolling, but I wonder if the grade and/or loss of vacuum pressure or something else in combination prevented it from starting. The more I see these comments, the more I think I screwed up and simply should have made a different decision and I simply did...

Watching the video in hindsight, the pop up by the passenger side that likely destroyed the bumper I think slowed me down enough to make the impact a little slower and less violent. Yeah, I mean, had I ever thought that was a possibility and in hindsight, I would have done a few things...

I had thought about that after, I don't know, may have worked. Sometimes sudden stops on hills don't turn out real well, slower stops are better, but being honest, I really thought at some point in time, it would have started or the brakes would have worked and neither happened. As a small...

2022 and I will update everyone after I get Ford to look it over.

I didn't try that to be honest, I think I just thought if nothing else worked it wouldn't. If I had had an old style e-brake, I definitely would have grabbed it, but these weird new ones are electronically operated I assumed, so I think I just wrote it off. I did I also have the rear camera...

No man, there was no brake lines busted, checked everything when I got home. I didn't panic until the failure happened and I had both pedals pushed in, brake to well, you know brake and the clutch for the engine to restart, which it automatically does once the clutch is pushed. Neither pedal...

Yeah man, all things considered, it could have been way worse, there are larger hills we were on there, some hills were close to a lake, boy that would have sucked! I did have a 4X4 malfunction that said it was disabled, but turned the engine off, locked it, unlocked it and started back up and...

So I am no expert off roader, however, I would hardly say I'm green. This happened today and I am at a loss, possibly financially, but more importantly I don't know what actually went wrong. I have wheeled plenty of times in this Bronco since Aug 2022, I have been up this hill...successfully...

Yes and while that is a little sad, if I can handle no sunglasses holder here in Florida, you'll be fine. YOU WANT the aux switches, they are a great option for $195

Agreed, I like to buy American first and then our good allies that seem to make quality stuff and then anyone but China if I can avoid Chinese stuff, but lots of times, you can't avoid everything from China, hence my manual transmission in the Bronco sadly, but when I can I do. I tried to go...

I can't imagine that either, but you think the Chinese built Warn is gonna be a good quality winch? I mean when you have to use the winch, it needs to work and work well and be reliable. Plus I guess most Americans just don't get dealing with China isn't a good thing. Now, if you are just...

Imagine paying $270 for a winch and thinking you are getting a good quality winch...

My guess, it is Chinese built, they still don't have the knowledge to build things to last, even after all the theft of intellectual property they have done. I think for a time, vehicles/engines were getting better and better and now since we outsource SO much, we are seeing the result. Having...
