What are these front frame brackets?

I noticed these while doing an oil change. There's nothing attached. They are not especially thick, and look like some type of accessory mount - radiator, intercooler, etc.

Oil change? Where the rest of your Bronco?

He must have sent the motor out to have the oil changed. Some people have waaaay too much time and money...

Wait, you can change the oil without pulling the motor? That's going to save some time...

those are the mount brackets used during production, they serve no other purpose

Did I do it wrong? I thought it would be easier with everything removed.

Thanks Jose, that confirms my hunch. They really make me want to attach something though.

He sent the whole engine in to have an oil sample done

Not seeing the issue here. I have never changed my engine oil in 40 years. Why. When you can just change the engine.

I cut mine off, they got in the way.

I assumed they were something for the oil cooler for the 2.7. Guess not.

Nobody knows what they're for.

Get yourself an RC hidden winch and you get to cut them off.
