I purchased the DV8 tire carrier for almost $900 with 10% off. That was a good start. Unfortunately, there were a few things that took this review from great down to good. Number one first and foremost, there were no instructions. None. Luckily I found some online. Second, the fit-up. For something that should be standard fit there seems to be a lot of slop and a lot of different reviews on fit up. Third, QC. Every single bolt hole had to be rethreaded in order to put this tire rack together, and all of the nuts and bolts have horrendous paint. It comes right off. Once assemble and attached it looks incredible though. I would say this is a 3 1/2 star bill.
We are sorry to hear you had some issues with the installation. We have a tech line that would be able to help you with installation questions in the future. The instructions sheets are not printed and included in the box, but we have them available for viewing on each product page.
Perfect fit and function! Easy installation. 100% improvement. Before and After photos
The skid plate looks of good quality. And looks great on my Jeep. Can't wait to try it out this summer.
It fits like a glove took me about 1/2-1 hour to install
Love the style, it looks great, ready install and im ready to rub on some rocks.
I purchased this item for my 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness as I do quite a bit of off roading. At times I do hit my hitch on deep crossings. This will help a lot when I do. Believe it or not I can follow most off road trails.
You will love the way they look, but you will hate yourself installing them. It’s hard to get into position and the holes never want to line up.
I live in Texas and front plates are required. I wasn’t going to put one on using the factory mount. I’m a retired Judge and could probably get out of a ticket but being law abiding is always a better option.
This mount on my Raptor is perfect. Thank you for such a quality piece and elegant solution.
Overall, the product is solid and looks really nice.
The installation process would probably be a 3/5 because I had to customize and cut other holes into the gasket to get it to work for my install.
Also, the 2 hour install time isn't super accurate. Bronco's are notorious for the fender clips being difficult to remove. The install time for me (moderate skill level) was closer to 3.5 hours
The holes where it mounts onto the diff were slightly too close together. I widened them about a millimeter and everything thing else was perfect. Still took less than an hour to install.
Sorry to hear you had to widen the holes. I've sent a note to the product team with your feedback.
Everything I've purchased from DV8 has been top quality even these sensor brackets. Always satisfied
SO EASY TO INSTALL!!
Super nice addition to my gladiator!!! Would buy again!
Love these! As there are so many great things about Broncos, storage is not one of them.
These are a quick and easy install. A must have for quick as easy access to tools, kits, lights, etc.
One thing I will point out is that they use your factory top bolts. So, if you like to take off your rear roof section, you’ll have to unmount and remount each time.
The quality, price, use, and look of them are 100% perfect! As I said, must have for any Bronco owner!
Love these fenders! Much, much better than the OEM. Great quality, love DV8 products, design and quality are the best. What can I say, love a local company and you won’t find a better set of fenders.
Install is not a ton of fun, kind of a workout. Especially on the pre mounted bolts. My suggestion for anyone looking to buy. Go to Amazon and buy a kit with the trim push pins for a few bucks and just rip out the factory ones. Getting them out is awful. I also wish they would have used Nyloc nuts.
Other than that.. 100% worth it!!! I would buy again!
I love DV8 Products! Not only are they a Local AZ company for me, their design, their quality, and pricing are the best!
I love this bump! It really gives your Bronco that prerunner look, it is sleek and low profile.
It is a chore to install and takes a long time, it is well worth it, 100%
The only thing I will say I wish they did, is a step by step condensed install video. Reading the instructions is okay, a visual would be much better.
Install was awesome with youtube. I never imagined that I would go so deep into the front of my 2024 Ford Bronco Raptor. Cars have changed so so much since the cars I use to work on " 1973 Pinzgauer".
I have about 500 miles since I relocated the ACC. I need to go back in and re adjust it as so it does not give a " Pre-Collision Assist Not Available Sensor Blocked See Manual” & “Adaptive Cruise Not Available Sensor Blocked See Manual."
If that does not work I will call the DV8 hot line for tech support. If that does not work I will switch to a removable winch mount and put the ACC back where it was originally.
from another review
I will try this.
We came to the conclusion that the radar coming out of the ACC was facing to low towards ground and that’s why it was saying it was blocked.
After using a smart level, taking grill off and adjusting the ACC ever so slightly by .5 degrees and 1 degree either left right or up & down…doing this 5 times while driving it in town..on the freeway, behind small cars (ACC would shoot radar over small cars..had to adjust down), driving more to the left and right of cars….basically tried driving it behind and every way possible after every adjustment.
so I am still working on it.
Very heavy duty and well made. It requires a few tools to install it properly but it is worth the time. Very secure and looks great.
Install was super quick. First side took maybe 15 minutes due to having to find the right tool to push the shock back up. Second side took like 2 minutes.
They’re solid, should protect well.
The product is good. The fit on the door is good. Extremely sturdy material. The installation instructions were not clear. Several places used technical terms for the kind of screw, and the kind of socket needed to turn the screw that I had not heard of.
The harness is very generic the qr code didn't provide instructions. I have a reasonable electronics background so I could scavenge the parts to use with the installed accessories switching and not use the cheesie tape on switch that was provided
The fit of the bar to my bumper was great I have a 25 bad squatch with the modular bumper. A suggestion is to provide a pathway for the light wires to have a better finish look
Great looking side steps. Replaced the ones that came with my 2025 Land CRUISER. SUPER EASY INSTALL. Now we just have to see how they hold up to Buffalo winters.
