Snacktime's Broken Bronco Build

[Snacktime]

Got a U0401 fault code from yesterday, got a little to off camber and had to throw it in reverse real quick. Got a ton of lights and went into limp mode. I tried to drive it out of the spot, had my foot to the floor and it just went cough cough. Did a restart and was back in business for another 10ft. Second restart I waited 30 seconds and no issues the rest of the day.

Darn sensors get tripped up sometimes. Happened to me twice on the rubicon. Power cycling fixed it both times. Gonna add some wheel speed sensors to my kit as a precaution. Here is the carnage from David’s Bronco on Prison Hill.
You missed the fun trip!

I was wondering if you made it out there. I was busy here :

Jesus just getting too off camber can throw it into limp mode?

I was in a sandy v notch and was going over(passenger tire started slipping). This was not a gentle transition to reverse and I set off a bunch of collision alarms on the dash. Pretty sure the collision alarm is what put me in limp mode.

Rear coilovers are in! Sitting a little high in the rear, going to let the suspension settle in a little before making adjustments. You can see the 4wp shocks are longer and yes I have a few issues I need to address.

I thought you drilled your lower rear mounts higher. Like BMB did. This could be why it sits higher. Refresh my memory, do the 4WP coilovers have a threaded body for adjustment??? Or maybe like the Bilsteins, spaced out rings for different adjustment?????

Yes my rear mounts are drilled 2" higher. 4wp coilovers are full on 2.5" diameter threaded shocks same as King/Fox/Icon. I am currently sitting at a solid 5" of rear lift. I hope it will settle down a little if not I can adjust them on the bronco.

Looks like a late 70's Chevelle. LOL

Front is installed, along with my Icon tie rod. Only issues are need new bolts for the sway bar frame mounts and need to weld in new nut for the transmission crossmember skid plates.

Calculated Suspension... Going to go see how close I am!
