270 awning options for the 2 Door Bronco

[ElDuderino]

Anyone using an awning for their 2 door bronco? Would love to see some pics! There's so many options out there. The main thing that I'm looking for is that it's light weight, and that it can support itself without legs as long as the weather isn't too crazy.

I have a Freespirit rec RTT and am looking at their 270. If the quality is anything like the tent I’ll be extremely happy. No legs and only 37 lbs if I remember correctly. Check it out if you haven’t already.

This is a great looking awning and very light weight. Not sure it will fit on the 2 door bronco though. WIll have to look up the dimensions of the roof. 96 inches may be too big.

Also looking for answers on this one. I'm assuming a 2.0 M length awning is the best fit (like one of the ones below) according to my measurements, but I'm interested in whether anyone has put something a bit bigger on a 2 door and how that looks.

Ironman 4x4 had their 270 recently on sale for something like 50% off.

Looks like the discount may still be available.

If you're budget conscious the Rough Country unit is also not terribly expensive.

I don't know how either of these are with the 2 door.

Regardless you'll need a rack.

Yes I have a trailrax trmr rack. Will check these out. Just want to make sure there’s not a ton of overhang. Will look odd.

I ended up getting the OVS 270 LT version. Currently on sale until March 31st + found a coupon code online + free shipping. Only ran me $500. 83 inches long, so there might be a tiny bit of overhang. Under 40 pounds as well.

Will post some pictures once everything comes in.

The shop I had install my TRMR rack when it first came in ended up stripping the front roof mounting studs on the Bronco. Have an appointment with Ford on Tuesday morning to see what they can do to fix it.

Not installed yet, week or 2. Once I have it installed I’ll post some pics.

Any update on whether Ford was able to fix the mounting studs? I take the roof rack on and off just about every week and I’ve always been curious if it’s even possible to repair the mounting studs that will surely rust at some point (the nuts are already showing signs).

The part is out of stock. Dealership has not returned my call for 2 weeks to let me know. Had to call a different dealership to find out. Will no longer be taking my Bronco to the original dealership.

To follow up, I was also able to fix my stripped studs with a die.

I ordered the OVS 270 LTE to mount on my TrailRax. No pics yet, but I got it through my local overland shop who has done this setup before on 2 doors.

Only thing I know is the 90 degree brackets from trailrax need to be drilled to have a wider opening to accommodate for the OVS hardware.

I went with the low profile ones. I think they should work. I'm ok with drilling.
