2018-2024 Jeep JL & 2020-2024 JT Front Modular Bumper with Bull Bar

Was impressed on the packaging and quality of product. Installation took about 3 hours. While instructions are lacking a mechanic can figure it out. I have 2 improvements that might have given it a higher score.
1st.. Get rid of the Button head bolts, Its a Jeep with a off road capable bumper.. Button heads strip easy and are harder to tighten. Just use good quality caps screws.
2nd..Factory fog light installation , the adaptors brackets where a little cumbersome, putting 8 small screws in each light. was not a fan. Plus once installed the lights are totally exposed to whatever flies off the front tires, a protective cover is needed and should be included.. I made one out of UHMW.
Installed a 8000# Warn winch and was very pleased with final results.

Just like I've come to expect from DV8 the product was packed well/individually wrapped but the instructions are sure lacking. Was able to get it all together in about 6 hours once I figured what I'd have to modify - if you have a Rubicon & want to save your red tow hooks you'll be in for a treat. Ended up having to press the studs out and getting longer hardware than was provided to install. Instructions state to install the hooks with the "studs facing away from the Jeep" but there's no way that would work and your hooks would be backwards.

All in all I do really like the look, very OEM but the powder coat had flaked in some areas (especially around bolt holes) & hardware provided for the frame bits weren't long enough (if you don't have the hooks or the desire to salvage them you would have been fine)

I ended up going with a Badlands 12k Winch and while it fits (very snugly I might add) due to the bumper/bull bar itself the clutch free spool knob cannot be fully engaged and I had to reroute the positive leg out the side/modify the plastic housing or it never would've cleared the grill. As it sits right now if I ever need to remove the grill again I'd have to remove the winch control box first. I'd imagine if you bought DV8's 12K winch that wouldn't have been an issue.

4 stars because all in all I'm happy with the look/but the installation was not without challenges so prepare to have a whole day to work on this. Also if if you have the Rubicon/Front Sway Bar Disconnect you're going to have to replace your skid plate too - stock won't fit with this bumper. Just Empty Every Pocket am I right? ;)

2022 JT Rubicon

Wow, exceeding expectations. I was leaning towards the “Mopar Steel Front Bumper” at 2x the price, but glad I researched the DV8. It looks great and fit my Warn Zeon 10-s perfectly!
As bonus, the winch plate & bull bar are included!

Next upgrades:
• DV8 Offroad Pocket Fairlead”
• DV8 Rear Bumper steel

Thanks DV8

Product arrived very well packaged, every item was individually wrapped
Quality of materials and construction is very good-well done.
Design of the bumper is very good, however the engineering is weak. Many of the parts have to be force fit, which makes taking back apart after a dry fit challenging.
The instructions are absolutely useless, do not provide any detail at all. For instance it says if using the factory tow hooks, face studs away from the Jeep. Tet neglect to mention that the existing studs must be pressed out-big detail which if included could save customers much time later. There is no mention at all of removing the grille when installing the winch plate, you take a chance on scratching the paint if not removed. There are two small side brackets on the inside of the frame rail, no mention whether they should stay in place or go-if kept it will be very difficult to the the plate in between the rails with force. Overall the directions are poor, lacking detail and do not cover installation of the entire package.

Allow one day for complete, correct installation.
