I am sure there are others here that have done a lot more off road than I, but I have done enough to offer a few suggestions:
- Use 4L even if you don't think you really need it. It will keep RPMs lower and make everything easier
- Use C gear. Especially when in 4L, the gearing is so low that...
I got a similar response: "Hi, another customer just installed one and sent pics, so we could update the website. You can see and order the spacer for the Bronco at this link"
So it sounds like they are just going to roll with this one and no plans to create a truly Bronco specific version
No need to run the ground to the battery. But you may have a bad ground back by the hitch. Make sure that that ground wire is touching bare metal not paint. You can also test it with a multimeter, test for continuity between your ground wire and some other place on the frame with bare metal.
If you have a bolt that fits, take it to Home Depot or most any hardware store and in the aisle with hardware they will have one of these things on the wall, use it to find the right thread size and then buy a tap for just that size for like $5...
I always wished the steering wheel came out a little further as well. I will also email them and put in another request for a Bronco-specific version.
I love the idea of the one you installed but I am a little too OCD to live with the sticking up bump and the gap.
You sound like somebody who is in to DIY, so it would be worth investing in a FORScan adapter so that you can read codes in more detail and reset them, plus a lot of other helpful things.

If that is true, it must be something only on newer model years. I have a 21 Base and the OEM signature headlights swapped in perfectly with no FORScan changes required.
$500 absolute maximum. Offer that (or less) and they will probably decline, but make sure he has your contact info. Nobody else will offer more and he will call you back eventually.
