It's been pointed out, but here's how this goes:
Engineering: we designed the 2.7 for the Bronco to hold 7 qts of oil, to account for the steep trail angles they might encounter.
Dealers/customers/etc: Hey these dipsticks read way high if we add 7 qts, what gives?
Engineering: we designed it...
🤣🤣🤣
Yes, they had every intention of watching that vehicle closely... that's why they never showed up in the 30 minutes OP waited for them AFTER he located the Bronco and told them where it was, and traveled to it.
Mine was tight, didn't think it was going to go, but it did. Make sure both brackets are fully seated, not pulled forward or back. I also think this is where the pressure my front hook was putting on my weatherstripping came in. Pull hard, compressing the foam a bit.
Put mine up today. No major issues. I moved the front tube out a little more than the 1.5" specified, seemed like it was putting a lot of pressure on the weatherstripping at 1.5".
ETA: new measurement 2-1/8". Pics.
Yep. Get a Jeep fob and the Bronco fob will seem tiny. Jeep fob is a terrible design. Huge, and unless you want the key flipping open constantly you have to add another cover/protector to it.
Damn glad I saw this!
I received my Lange hoist but haven't installed yet. No communication from them, they need to email all buyers since they can't tell who is 2D.
