Second purchase. Only one I found that I’m hoping to adapt for a different project. Not installed yet. So I can’t tell you much.
Like previously stated it’s a solid unit definitely thick enough to take impacts and dragging over rocks. How do you think you could narrow up the slots on the control arm side of the mount. A little too wide if you were to ask me barely makes contact with a bolt head.
Please reach out to our tech team at tech@dv8offroad.com. They will be happy to help with the installation of the product.
Great design fairly easy to install! Works perfectly!!
Quality product. I like the look compared to the ugly stretched out netting on the doors. Very easy install.
I just finished up installing the DV8 overhead molle panel in my 2025 Ford Bronco Badlands and I must say I am impressed. This thing is built solid and adds rigidity to the frame. The Raptors have a cross member brace to help with frame flex and this panel with the heavy duty grab bar accomplishes the same thing. It bolted in place well and the finish on it is awesome. I was worried that it might interfere with the T-Top fasteners, but it was engineered well and left just enough room for them to operate. Pro tip : when installing it, bolt it in place, but do not tighten everything down until all bolts are in place. This allows you to align bolt holes easier when putting it together. My 3 piece T-Top went back on perfectly and I am very pleased with this molle panel. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a high quality overhead panel.
Thank you for leaving a very detailed review.
If you get this get the motorcraft bezels from dv8. Pop right in! The factory ones are garbage and brittle and break easy. And they cost $60 a pop. Get the ones for ford and roll on.
Side steps look great and were an easy install!
Thansk again
Installed about a month ago. This is a great help and gives some much needed easy access to my winch controller, a couple flashlights and a lighting control panel. Plenty of room above it to install a radio above it as well. I have my Lighting Control Panel, Siren Control, 2 flashlights and winch controller up there. All are easy to access and it was just what we were needing. Zero issues hitting my head on it (which was a concern) and the handle for those in back is great! We are hoping that DV8 will come up with a Starlink Mount that will allow for mounting a Starlink Mini easily on the top side!!!
My netting was shot, put these in and they are fantastic. Install wasn't more than 5 mins and storage is fantastic.

When installing, you are going to need to remove the grill, headlights and cut out a couple pieces behind the grille. It looks WAY WORSE than it actually is. Follow the instructions step by step and you will have zero issues. Knowing that the ACC is engineered by ford and placed where it is for a reason, I was nervous about it actually working properly. It has been flawless 99% of the time. The only issue I have experienced with it is when you are on the highway behind a vehicle with bright sun reflecting off the back window, it may become non functional and give you an ACC warning. My guess is that a small adjustment that I am just too lazy to do would fix this. For me, these times are few and far between as I only really use cruise control on long trips and it has to be a "perfect storm" of sunlight and type of vehicle in front of you for this to happen.
We've had this bumper on for a little over a year. It is easy to change the lights out while it is on and putting we have used it as a recovery point to pull someone out more than once. The most impressive part of it is that we have come down on it HARD off good old Arizona rocks and aside from a little ding in the powder coat (to be expected for some of these hits) the bumper has not given way or dented at all. Increased departure angle is a plus as well. Install is about an hour (once you get the dirt out of your eyes taking the old one off). I did have to change the sensor bezels out because the OEM ones are just a total pain to re-use. A minor issue at best.
Have had the DV8 Spec Series Bumper on for just under a year now. It is solid and the additional clearance it provides is amazing. We have utilized this with our winch multiple times and with bumper horn reinforcements there has been zero issues. It has held the torque and, while I check it from time to time, nothing has loosened up. The approach angle improvement over my factory modular bumper with the Ford winch mount is night ad day.
Installed tonight and the installation was super easy. These things are BRIGHT and the active halos give it a nice touch. Upgraded from OEM signature headlights. Will be putting them to the test up at United by Bronco this weekend.
I had a front skid plate from a different company and this was the only stand alone belly plate I could find for my 4th Gen Tacoma. Worked out great and really let me spread the cost out. Was super easy to install, I used a jack to get it into place and it bolted right up. Honestly, the packaging was so good, I used it as a floor mat.
Ordered this with the intention of relocating my GMRS radio; once in decided otherwise. If you are taller than 6' you might want to consider some padding; I am at 6' exactly and I've had to adjust how I enter and exit the drivers seat, my wife, who is 5' 11" said the same. Pretty straightforward installation, good instructions on line.
I have installed other much less expensive brands that fit better. The pinch rails and floor mounting points had to bend quite a bit to accommodate the DV8 step brackets that were not very well aligned with the OE rock rail mounting points on the Jeep. I was going to take pictures and add shims as needed, but did not want to spend the time, so I just allowed everything to tweak as needed.
Thank you for reaching out and providing your feedback. Can you please email a few photos of the issues you are running into to the tech team at tech@dv8offroad.com? Our team would be very happy to help you with making sure the the fitment is proper.
Nicely made product. I have a Borla Touring muffler and the box basically touches it. For that reason I purchased some heat tape and wrapped the bottom of the box in it (on top of DV8's stick-on heat shield). Have not tested on a long drive but hopefully with the extra protection it's not an issue. Because of the size of the muffler I had to drop it off the hangers to get the box in. Extra space was necessary for a larger jack. Nice upgrade overall.
Thank you for the feedback. This is good info for some customers that may have larger aftermarket mufflers.
Had to reef on it to get it into place but it does fit.
Thank you for your feedback. In some cases, these do need a little bit of persuasion to get them to line up. The tolerances from the OE can be a little more than others.
Item is awesome addition to my 1958 Edition (2025) LC. Install required some removal of plastic splash sections that seemed unnecessary IMO.
Looks great! Thank you for your feedback.
Great quality fast shipping great value
This is a sturdy, well made piece. It fits right and provides a great snatch point from the rear. It looks great on the tail of my Bronco. Follow @GotUr6Bronco to see pictures of the skid.
Look great! Thanks for posting a picture.
Overall great quality in appearance. The only issue I have is that this is too small for a standard 2" hitch to fit snug. I used 1/8" rubber on all sides to avoid the noise it creates from rattle. Adjusting the measurements would be a huge improvement going forward. It's hard to believe this was missed.
We appreciate your feedback. We do make our hitch skid to industry standards to leave some room for variances in hitches. Glad you were able to make it work to your preference.
Awesome products, superb quality and design, fast shipping. The best of all is customer services from Brandon and Noe from RD center in Riverside. Strong recommend this these products to protect your new investments in that 6th Gen 4Runner. Fit my Trail Hunter perfectly.
Thank you for your feedback!
