  1. 7MT - clutch slave cylinder failure

    '21... in the dealer for the same problem at 12 k miles (I have another post about it). Funny, they want to keep it and drive it for a bit to make sure it's fixed - I wonder how confident they are that the leak is from the cylinder. Glad they are double checking it.
  2. Burnt new car smell… clutch fails 12 k miles

    Update. The smell was from clutch fluid leaking and burning on the exhaust (failure in the slave cylinder ... I think is what they said). I will pick it back up tomorrow - covered under warranty. Clutch and the rest of it was all replaced. Plus... I had them put the mud guard on the...
  3. Burnt new car smell… clutch fails 12 k miles

    Great! The dealer has confirmed that the smell was coming from the clutch. Should be fixed by Friday.
  4. Burnt new car smell… clutch fails 12 k miles

    Did not. I thought it was some kind of new car smell that just wouldn’t go away. Mostly concerned that they fix it and then the same thing happens again.
  5. Burnt new car smell… clutch fails 12 k miles

    Since new, my stock MT badlands has this burnt smell. At 12 k the clutch starts slipping. The dealer will surely say I drove it wrong (been driving manuals since 1985). I’m going to ask to smell the dead clutch… if it’s that same smell- it came from the factory that way. Is there a way to...
  6. Bronco Raptor Driving in Snow Storm - First Experience

    That's the joke, Jeeps and Broncos are not great vehicles on the highway in the snow at speed. Glad to hear the GOAT mode helped. I would rather be in my sedan with four snow tires in those conditions.
  7. 37" Tires on a Non-Sasquatch Badlands - My Experience, Results, Pics

    As a non SAS BL owner - I really appreciate the detailed write ups of these tire experiments with results and all the ongoing corrections and tweaks. Thanks!!!
  8. I would buy this over a Bronco any day!

    Neat truck - would be fun to watch it against all the lifted Cherokees and Grand Cherokees that I see at the offroad park! I like my doors off and top off option though for a toy truck (but perhaps not a daily commuter).
  9. Discussion: most important armor / skid plate protection?

    Yep, it's the MT. ASFIR alerted me to that possibility. The armor on the radius trailing arm might be a badlands without wild track thing (it appears untested on the 2.3), but, I am not sure.
  10. Discussion: most important armor / skid plate protection?

    Note: For the Badlands 2 door 2.3 MT.... things are different. There is no gear crossmember arm to cover up - so don't order that part if you don't have an arm to put it on. Also, on mine, the rear radius trailing arm has factory armor welded on already, so the ASFIR does not fit - nor does...
  11. Dealership changed their mind about charging MSRP on orders

    That sucks and not all dealers are like that. I just picked mine up on Monday at Packey Webb Ford in Downers Grove IL, there were NO surprise add ons or hassles, just MSRP with all the price protection from the 2021 to 2022 re order.
  12. Heavy Rooftop Tent on 2-Door w/ ZROADZ Rack Worked Great!

    That's cool! Thanks for the review. Question.... How do you store the tent when it is not on the roof of your bronco?
  13. No Rocks For My Badlands

    The off-road park where I will play in mine has rocks (not too crazy though), logs, tight turns and the two door BL is practically purpose built for it. Definitely NOT staying off the rocks! The only thing fun about mud is keeping track of who owes who the most beers for winch pull outs and...
  14. My Bronco has a "go for it" in a devil-on-your-shoulder voice... that got me stuck in soft mud

    Never trust a puddle - LOL (unless your buddy is behind you and has a winch)
  15. Cool Tribute or Junkyard Dog? Chanel gets Coco's funky Color Scheme!

    If anyone sees them together, they would know exactly what you did and why. I think it's hilarious and perfect for the off road crowd and reminds us that some people actually buy these vehicles to have fun and laughs.
  16. ⏱ No Bronco Scheduling Next Week (6/13)

    694 days - only holding on for price protection at this point - plan to flip back to Jeeps if the PP goes away with the upcoming '23 order - that I suspect will be the next thing I hear from Ford.
  17. Guess the badlands isn't as weather rated as I hoped.

    Don't temp me.... I'm near two years with no bronco and looking at the Jeep High Tide pretty closely...
  18. Wait Times for 2023 Bronco Builds

    I getting ready to celebrate two years since I reserved a bronco - and still no information - other than they accepted my 21 to 22 conversion. If I see any 2023s driving around before I get my 2022 - I am going to be very cross - even if they are four doors with ragtops.
