Anyone know if the manual Bronco is selling well?
The RHD pic doesn’t inspire confidence of a manual option in US/CAN — I’d consider one/would have considered one, if a manual was available. Especially tied to a diesel power plant. If this combo is made available here, I’d be all over it.

 

If you do an autotrader search of manual broncos, you can find several provincially. On the other hand the tacoma has one or two (that are new).

Of course it could be that ford dealers are just ordering more manuals than Toyota

I guess it also depends on how many dealers actually list on autotrader....idk, I tried but can only work with the information I'm provided

tl;dr - rambling

 

It's only available with the 2.3l ecoboost. I think people would like to be able to pick the powertrain and it might sell poorly for that reason and not because it's manual.

Also not available on their top model

 

Update to my Switch Pro Install issue - here are the remaining Error Codes. The switch pro has been disconnected from the truck but can't get these codes to go away. Any ideas?
Error Codes - c1A50, C164D, C1504, C1453

 

Have you checked all the wires you touched? Check for resistance the ones you touched on both ends. A tiny drop can cause miscommunication between the modules. Those codes tell me something isn’t communicating back to ECU correctly, because they work independent from each other.

 

Just remove the ECU, do a SAS, armor up and fuckin' send it bud

 

c1A50 Pre-collision system DTC C1A50 may be stored due to a malfunction in the vehicle stability control system.

C164D Wheel Speed Sensor Malfunction

C1504 Tire Pressure Monitor

C1453 Reservoir Level Switch Disconnected, The brake fluid level warning switch sends the appropriate signal to the skid control ECU


Check around the master cylinder for pulled connections/loose or damaged wires, and then re-check your fuses using either a test light or a multi-meter, sometimes the fuse looks good but it opened with a hairline break so does not conduct. Sometimes the fuse is just not seated properly.

 

Would you like to see how many genuine Toyota accessories use these in the instructions?

 

I'm in...we had a great run up there this summer!

 

Oh man i dont want to know, but i already have a good idea based on everything ive seen from every other manufacturer.

 

I created a new post for anyone interested in coming out for a run from Orangeville to Creemore on Sunday.

Looks like the Freedom winch line made bleeping jeep enough money, that it is now a market! Custom synthetic lines.




Of course his is wayyy better cuz its so much simpler.

They are both loops on the end of line,

 

Open market
means
more competitors
meaning
cheaper products over time
meaning
we all win anyways


I like dirt lifestyle's version since i dislike the freedom winchline's binky that sticks out. however my worry is wrapping it around the fairlead "hook" might pinch a finger if you wind the line back in. (looks like you hook the end of the line around and just let that tension into itself.


$265USD ($335CAD) for it

Not sure if anyone is on the hunt for reasonably priced wheels but these are 189 a rim in bronze. Has anyone run vision wheels?

Follow Up
so Toyota has confirmed what they believe to be the issue. There is a short or communication issue in the harness to the RH Wheel Sensor. they are going to change out the harness tomorrow morning and hopefully it is. I beleive this must be linked to the following 2 codes: C164D Wheel speed sensor malfunction & C1405 Open or Short in Front Speed Sensor RH Circuit. Does anyone know where this harness sits? I didn't work anywhere near the right hand side of the truck.
I hope I they can tell me how I caused the fault because I still need to finish installing the switch. - thanks again for all your support

 

That is really odd. Could it be from your most recent offroad trip? Maybe you smacked the sensor or water got into it from the water crossings on scotchline

 

While we're somewhat on the topic, Greenlane Offroad has made some ABS sensor protectors and they have a discount for tomorrow, no telling how much it is though!

Instagram says the code is live at 11:59 pm tonight.

Company out of B.C. for those unaware, support our side of the border!

 

well the discount is 10% off. but i can't seem to find the ABS sensor protector

 

Their Instagram says it's a "sneak peek" as of 6 days ago...I thought they'd have it out for the sale. My bad.
