Does it look like it will have a rear X-Brace?

Bada-boom, bada-bling! Ok, I'll bite. Where do you plan on doing some "safe" off-roading here in AZ? Graded FS roads and dunes?

I was really headed down the Grenadier purchase path but stopped for a couple key reasons for my use case. First and foremost, can’t flat tow it behind a RV. (though, tbh you have to jump through underhood fuse pulling hoops now on EBB equipped Broncos as Ford can’t seem to do a code fix to...

Yup. Unless the dude has a trackbar bushing issue (or other rear bushing problem) my bet from personal experience is ESC. It does give a strange sensation.

My bet is the electronic stability goodies are applying the inside rear brake. *combine with marginal wet performance of the tires.

I didn’t know the clown Stroppe came with a manual transmission?

So is the X-Brace going to make production? Pretty sure one of those mules has it. The current X-Brace through Ford Perf does not have the updated rear lighting that the 25+’s have. Wondering if they addressed that for the Filsons, giving them a bit more rigidity.

It would look much more legit with some MaxTrax and a Hi-Lift bolted to the side. Maybe a couple of rotopax too.

Could be a flexible brake line on the DS. But the OP really needs to take to an independent trusted shop and have the issue addressed before more damage occurs. If there was smoke, rotors might be toast and I’d also do a fluid flush.

The same people that liked the Charger for the 4doors but prefer a Ford product.

Lithium, in current drop-in form for underhood use, is not there boys. That battery touted by some poster above ^ in this thread had an operating ambient temp range of what -10 to 140* My underhood temp in the summer here without the engine ever running will exceed that. And people wonder...

Dude, nice trail save! Kudos! Curious, how did you bleed it?

Ah, a sad Boomer who bought a vehicle on self imposed image of himself, and ignorant of the actual product.

Before listening to the video, I was going to say possibly something with the 4A transfer case clutch/actuator, but that sound is metal on metal and more exposed like a converter against the flexplate. Calibration my ass.

Hope that AEV ‘upfit’ addressed the weak transfer case and fuel starvation issues.

The '25+ 2.3 is not the same as the 2020 2.3 other than displacement. OP, run premium and get some miles on it so that the ECM/TCM can make adjustments to the base maps. Not sure what effect the auto has, but I have no complaints about the powertrain performance either here at under 2000’...

I drive mine off-road every time I leave my house. It is a great desert runner, but would I take it on my typical 5+ day outings here in AZ or UT over my 80 Series Land Cruiser or Power Wagon? Um, no. SFA/Auto > IFS/MT off-road (desert racing being an exception with IFS.)

Upside tho, your rear brake pads will last longer than those of us that use ACC. :)

Many things make radio signal propagation vary, but yes there is a difference if properly installed. Biggest thing I’ve found too on the trail, especially with several guys using HTs, inevetablly over the corse of our multiple day trips, battery maintenance comes into play. Dead or low batteries...

You haven’t missed much. Especially since 1st generally wasn’t sycro’d on most vehicles that had them. 4 on the floor, three on the tree or two in the glue. (powerglide)
