  1. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    I was thinking maybe the clutch fork wasn’t aligned or seated properly causing the bearing to be misaligned. I don’t know how this clutch is designed at all, but I had a clutch fork break once and that was as close as I’ve seen to this.
  2. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    Yeah, I don’t even trust tow truck drivers anymore. Had a guy hook up to the sway bar on my 944 turbo once and yanked it out of the mount, which broke the power steering pump bracket. Now I do my own towing. I can’t get my local dealer to call me back or answer the phone, but I’ll take it in...
  3. TFL: 2021 Bronco vs Wrangler vs Defender - Off-Road Trail Comparison Video

    I don’t always like the TFL stuff, but I enjoyed this one. I really dig both of these vehicles (does the Defender even count?) and I think it’s awesome that people have a choice now. Cool to see the front articulation on the Bronco is almost as good as the Jeep.
  4. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    So, here is a short video where you can hear the jutter. I really don’t think it’s just air in the system. I’ve had plenty of experience with that and that would go away once you let off the clutch. After experiencing it again, it gets worse when you depress the clutch, but is there even when...
  5. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    No, nothing like that. Was fine then instantly wasn’t.
  6. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    This worked like a charm and I had no idea this was a thing. Thanks! Any sneaky trick to recalibrate the clutch? šŸ˜‚
  7. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    If it happens again, I’ll take it in. My local dealership hasn’t even gotten a Bronco yet, so I anticipate there will be people crawling all over it and it may get some unnecessary ā€œtest drives.ā€ šŸ™

    This is exactly why i just bought the orphaned Badlands manual. Can always trade later.
  9. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    I just felt it through the pedal. I think. Happened pretty fast and then went away.
  10. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    Yes, I felt it in the pedal while pressing the clutch in. Once the pedal was to the floor, I think it stopped juttering. Did it several times, then stopped. Thanks for the tip on the window. Will definitely look that up.
  11. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    Yes. It felt like pushing it over a washboard. Like a small motor was pushing back against it. Never felt that in a clutch.
  12. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    Update #6 11/3/21 I finally, after four months, have my Bronco back. The dealer finished installing the new engine and I picked it up this afternoon. It seems good. There’s still an airbag fault, but I will take it back in when those parts arrive. It seems that Bronco parts are especially...
  13. Why people are disappointed…

    I think this is spot on and I agree that it’s fantastic. My wife’s Jeep is more fun probably. It’s quicker, nimbler, and is a little scary in a fast sweeper on the highway. The Bronco with the top off and stereo on is basically a perfect daily driver for me. It is so much more relaxing to...
  14. Is Bimini canvas top water tight? Or is it just for sun protection?

    Exactly this. I am in the same boat of not wanting the mesh one. I want some protection from rain even if it’s not completely water tight. I am really shocked that there are not more aftermarket accessories available and I would have thought BesTop would have been one of the first with a full...
  15. Is Bimini canvas top water tight? Or is it just for sun protection?

    So, reviving this thread to see if anyone knows what happened to this top option. I really wanted this and would go buy one now with my FordPass points, but seems to have disappeared.
  16. Picked up a Badlands

    This could be true. I didn’t do the math myself by recording mileage and amount of fuel. I just trusted the computer. Perhaps one of these days I’ll do my own calculations and see if they are accurate. People on the Jeep forums have done that and claim the computer is pretty accurate though...
  17. Picked up a Badlands

    Seriously dude, please just go away. There are so many threads you can troll. Nobody here cares about your petty jealousy or irritation that people have other cars or interests. Internet forums should be a place to have fun discussions, not lurk around looking for ways to be a dick. In all...
  18. Delivered 2.3L Manual Bronco Black Diamond owner's review: the Good and the Bad

    Nice build! I think the BD is probably the best deal on a manual trans you can get until the BaseManSquatch becomes a reality. I also have come to really like the MGV. Like you, I am perfectly happy with the power of the 2.3 and I think the fun of driving the manual significantly outweighs...
  19. Bronco 2.3L versus Wrangler 3.6L then faces up against a Ram

    Totally what I would have expected after comparing my 2.3 Badlands to the wife's 2.0 turbo Wrangler. The Jeep is noticeably quicker and gets better gas mileage. Gotta just be the weight. Bronco is fast enough for me though.

    Here’s mine. Badlands 2.3 7-speed.
