I also went with the 2.3 just for the MT(2 door)...Love it! I might regret it if I had to haul a camper over some pass, but for everyday fun, it's a blast. It's my 4wd sports car!
Responded on "the other bronco site", but will here also..
I feel your pain! I am also a 7/21/20 res..2 door Big Bend, no pkg, AMB... I was literally ready to spend my $$ on a Polaris Razor instead when the email came thru. Picked it up in Aug - 750 days later. If I had waited another month...
Always happy to see another stick shift guy out there! Really wanted the v6, but wanted the manual more. I've wanted a sports car all my life... now I have a convertible 4-wheel drive sports car with 6 on the floor!
I didn't turn it off - it was in Auto Stop. Was probably sitting there for 5 min with the parking brake on, in neutral, but not touching any pedals. It's possible there was some kind of time-out, but I can't imagine 5 min of a fan going would drain my battery much...
Has anyone else come across this little glitch? I have a '22 Big Bend 2 door with 2.3 liter and manual tranny. With the Manual, the ASS kicks in at a stop when the tranny is in neutral and the clutch is out. Push the clutch in and the engine starts. I was sitting in the Post Office parking lot...
Went bottomless today..couple pics of that.... too much fun!! Who needs A/C! Haven't had the back off yet - I'm building a hoist, so I can pull it without help (I hope!)
