DV8's build quality, fit, and finish of this bumper are absolutely premium. It shipped quickly, came with everything it needed, and the instructions were very clear and straight-forward. The quality of the powder coat and the fit overall are what I'm most impressed with. I was hesitant at first to spend $680 on it but color me impressed. It's worth every penny.
I put this on a 2017 GMC Canyon with the 2.8 Duramax.
I installed the bumper and a 12,000 Lb. winch this month. This weekend I did some hard off-roading. I put the first scratches on the bumper and skid plate. Other than some scratches, everything performed flawlessly. This bumper is exceptionally well built and strong. The fitment after trimming the grill assembly is excellent and looks great. My only complaint is that DV8 offroad doesn't make more products for the Colorado. I will be adding their rock sliders soon.
Very sturdy! Packing was extremely good. Install time was a little off, it took the tech a full day and the fitment is not quite as pictured, but, I'm extremely pleased with this bumper!
Hello Michelle,
Thank you for reaching out and providing your feedback. If you would like our tech team to review the fitment, please send photos to tech@dv8offroad.com. Our team would be happy to help.
I was excited about receiving my package but saddened to see all the dents and defects in my hood. I sure it will take a full day plus to fix and prepare the hood for painting. It has to be done before painting or they will really stick out like a sore thumb. Did anyone else find anything like this.

Got my mirrors today put them on simple install 10 minutes max and they look AWESOME 👍🏻
I was able to do this install completely by myself, and I have very limited wrenching skills. (I can change a tire, and that's about it!). After getting an $8k quote to have this installed, I decided to do it myself. I purchased their Adaptive Cruise Control relocation kit and and was able to install it inside the grill with no issues. One of my wings had some minor damage on it, but it was covered once I put the trim piece on, so not going to worry about it.
Feels high quality and durable. I was able to fit the Badlands APEX 12,000 lb Winch from harbor freight into it with no issue.
Instructions were great!
Installed DV8 Ball Joins many wheeling adventures ago & checked them out last weekend they are in perfect shape & trust me they seen some action.
And look great 👍🏻
Given the limited space between the seat and the door panel, this is a significant improvement. The nets are worthless!
Pros: a tad bit more storage room.
Con: If you sit all the way forward, you could damage the round seat control. All the way back is clear, though.
If you have the manual seats with the turn dial do the lumbar, when putting the seat all the way forward, the first three settings hit the knob. No big deal for me, but when the wife gets in it won’t close. Overall well made, fits an arrowhead water bottle, and seems sturdy. Did all four and other than that issue with the cup holder hitting- no complaints.
Absolutely amazing bumper! This’ll be my second product from DV8 (first being my roof rack) and I can say I can’t wait to get my next mod from them. The quality and craftsmanship is top notch! Hats off to the shipping/packaging team, the box could have fallen off a second floor building and been totally fine. Installation was a breeze and fitment was perfect for my 21 Mojave. Really like that I can use my mopar steel skid plate and led fog lights from the stock bumper too, that was a plus! Again I appreciate you all at DV8 Off Road!
I am glad this license plate mount worked on my new Bronco but I was a little upset that it was bent when I got it. The box looked fine and the mount was well packaged/wrapped, but once I unwrapped it one side of the bracket was completely bent in so I had to bend it straight to get it to mount since I didn't want to send it back and wait a few weeks for a new one.
Hello Joni,
Thank you for reaching out and for your feedback. I am sorry the product arrived damaged. Please send any photos you may have of the damage to sales@dv8offroad.com. Our team would be happy to help.
First off- part fit and finish 10/10 just buy the thing already.
The attention to detail is what will make me a returning customer. The product is properly wrapped probably better than my wives Xmas wrapping. The box heavily stapled with tape on top of that, stickers notifying of hardware inside the box. Y’all killed it with that.
The two extra rivnuts knowing someone might torque too much and will need another one? That’s a solid move. The whole team at DV8 is killing it, so if you read this and you think your job isn’t important there’s customers out there like me that notice the attention to detail. *fist bump*
Easy install and packaged with care! They look awesome on my 4Runner!! Highly recommend getting these!!!
The DV8 Pinch-weld bar is far superior to the 2-piece PW Bar I previously purchased. The DV8 bar was larger, thicker, and bent to fit the pinch weld. The other bar was just a couple of bars with some hole drilled into them, and the connection between the two bars kept pulling apart.
The DV8 is a no brainer.
I have purchased directly from DV8 and they have quality products and customer service. My first purchase was the FS-15 Jeep front bumper. The bumper is a very good quality, You can see in the design how consideration is taken into wheel articulation, how it mounts and bolts onto the jeep, and design on how the winch fits and bolts up. I highly recommend this bumper. It easily accepts my factory fogs lights as well
Nothing like buying new steps and receiving stuff that is scratched up with missing powder coat. Especially since it was obviously done prior to wrapping the product for shipping. I doubt I’ll be buying anything else from them in the future, the quality has gone down since I purchased steps from them a few years ago. Guess I’ll have to get out the touch up paint, since returning it would be more of a hassle than its worth.

Durable material, easy to install, sleek, less than 30 minutes to install all 4 doors.
Easy install and cleaned up the look and matches the bumpers perfectly, took about 3 or 4 mins to install, highly recommend
Well made, well placed, easy install, would recommend. Only thing I would suggest adding is some wire management to the back side of it. I ended up running the wire through my vent because my OEM third brake light/ camera grommet was packed with chase light wiring. I also ended up running this through the tail gate tether into the car, then out behind the passenger tail light and across the rear cross member to the OEM connector. The light is bright too!
Got the bumper and it looks just like I wanted, how it should've come from the factory. I only took off 1 star for the woeful instructions. Do yourself a favor if you get this and follow the instructions for DV8's OE Plus V2. I didnt want the gaping hole in my bumper so I got the V1 but the V2 instructions are much better. Including you really want to remove your factory skid plate and the little rubber things over your tow hooks. THEN you can see all the bolts fine. Also DO NOT install both sets of fog lights before mounting like the instructions said. Its easy to access the area to mount the fog lights after bumper is mounted but almost impossible to reach the mount bolts with the lights in. Update the PDF DV8! On a side note I have DV8s overhead molle, bumper, license plate mount, and ditch lights bracket and I have never seen better packaging ever almost too good.
Everything lined up great. Even hit a deer after bumper install with 0 damage. Would recommend 100% to elevate your look.
I love these things. Now I have room for all kinds of stuff. They are rugged and easy to install. I love DV8 parts.
Sure, there are heavier duty skid plates out there. But realistically, if you’re not doing serious rock crawling, this one will suit your needs. It fairly robust, and light years ahead of the fiber splash guard that comes stock. I like that the plate doesn’t add a lot of weight to the front end.
It took 10-15 minutes to assemble which includes attaching the side wings. It took me another 15 minutes to install by myself with my truck up on ramps. (I did use a torque wrench)
I used the provided button head bolts to attach the side wings, but opted for the stock bolts to attach the plate to the truck. Hex head bolts are a better option for me than button head Allen bolts.
The fit was perfect, and it can be installed without the crossmember that is required by some other skid plates.
