New Bronco reports

Looks like this guy had everything but the yellow submarine package. The buthurt on the post from Facebook confirms the people who bought most of the new Broncos up are kunt’s. Time to turn this thing into a race car.

Most owners strike me as either former jeepers who like light bars and rubber duckies, people who are trying way too hard to emulate their idea of the jeep community with light bars and rubber ducks, or people who are embarrassed by all of it and just want to use it as intended without getting ducked/bucked whatever. Unfortunately that last group is very quiet and seems to avoid the idiotic facebook groups
 
The best thing for me about the Bronco is that there aren't a bunch of idiots waving at me all the time.

I could drive a CJ7 or YJ and never get a wave, perfect.

I drive a stock gay-k and a person would break their arm to be recognized.
 
Sorry for the link to Facebook but holy shit what a nightmare. Canadia, remote BFE Canadia, French names, kilometers the whole 9. I told a story similar about being part of a Diesel JL rescue almost exactly two years ago and the moral of the story is. New shit is way to complicated to trust off-road. Canbus and modules, not an off-roaders friend.

Let's be honest here, short of a mechanically injected diesel with a manual trans, or something with a carb, not much is making it out of that without being a shit show. Lay any fuel injected toyota from 85 on and I bet it's as bad if not worse with the completely unsealed ECU and connectors in the passenger kick panel.
 
This is the driver telling the story on Bronco6G.

You've probably already seen my Bronco underwater on the web?

I won't go thru the whole ordeal here, now... I simply have way too much in my plate right now but I'll follow up at some point. Was on a week long, 800km tour thru Quebec when this happened crossing a wooden bridge. As beat as I can tell, a beam broke off the bridge under the front passenger...

Yeah, but a hundred bucks and a trip to the junkyard and your toyota is back running. That bronco is probably totaled.

Eh, I think a lot of 90s/00s shit after the mainstream adoption of conformal coatings but before the canbus era where a single module shitting all over the network can bring down the car would probably have been ok if not for the transmission linings not liking water.

More like ten trips to the junkards to find all the trucks your after picked clean and $2k when you pony up and pay the resellers that picked those things clean. :laughing:
 
I think it’s deep in the story I posted. Recoverers said the new bridge is built on top of the carcass of an old ass logging bridge. They tried to drag it backwards and it wouldn’t budge. Basically the Bronco was 4 wheel chocked in old bridge timber under water that they couldn’t see. So they had to lift it up first before dragging it back.

That thing will never run again. Not sure what engine and trans he’s got. But I’ve got a slew of modules for a 2door that looked just like that.

I know for a fact that an 88 4runner and 85 Toyota truck can be fully submerged then brought back to life with just fluid changes. Eventually the alternator, timing belt tensioners and a few other things do die but it takes a while. Hurricane Ivan showed me that. 5-6 feet of dirty water at our dealership in Carnegie, PA.

I’d love to but it’ll be a coyote and 6R/atlas I’m starting to total outs but not selling cheap yet. Maybe never cheap

Honestly I don't have a clue what a new Bronco would go for totalled out with flood damage. I was just thinking "someone could have a running wheelable new Bronco with maybe 10 grand in it." Probably not. :laughing:
