Until I saw this video, Ii felt like, from an off-road perspective, Broncos were bulletproof. So all this delay... Months of being bullshitted... would be worth it. Sure there's a top fiasco, but everything else is fine. Pffft. What the hell do we know?So hopefully I can answer some questions about the video that seem to keep popping up
1. Why try and drive up hill in 2WD to start? Because it was for a Youtube video, where any offroad trails look way less significant than they are in person and it does not take long before the " My moms fiat could do that trail in reverse" comments. So wanted to show that no you can not drive over it it 2WD.
2. Sequence of events. After slipping first time in 2WD , put in Neutral and turned on Mud Rut mode, which I stayed in until next hill where I slipped a bit, reversed, repositioned and slipped again, that second slippage caused all the errors, and shifted back in normal mode. Was unable to change gear or made regardless of being in gear, in park, or in neutral.
Put in Neutral and was unable to select any mode, but was able to select 4Low and lock the diff with the dedicated buttons, but not change mode.
After getting to flat land was still unable to change modes, still had ABS lights and warnings, was not able to select 2WD (yes after unlocking the locker ). Turned off ignition, turned back on, was finally able to select 2WD but still had all warnings.
Drove about a mile in 2WD and lights and warnings all went away. Was then able to freely change modes once again like nothing ever happened.
3. He's an idiot. This may be true, and I may not be the expert some of you here are but, being in 4 wheel drive in Mud/Rut mode and having it kick me out at the first sign of some tire slippage and putting me back to normal mode is not something of my own doing.
Now, I'm thinking there's more than one person at Ford with their head up their ass...( Obviously the one who had the bright idea to outsource these tops to the lowest bidder, no matter how incompetent). Then there's the one who said, let's give them free headliner. Lol there are no tops to put headliner on! And the ones they are cranking out on 2 doors are lining the lots with bad roof written all over the windows?
And they delivered your roof with one section of headliner? WTF is going on,. It's not Larry, Moe, and Curly running things... Waaaayyyy worse than we thought. Hell, way worse than anyone is conceding. Forget about these guys who want to put you down rather than face the facts... We are all screwed.
