Ain't that the truth.

Dv8 is cheap china not expensive stuff

Lmao... didn’t need people accusing me of playing favorites... 😂 🙌 #letsdostupidthings

Glad I could help... 😂 🙌 thanks for watching!

Lol, we all learn from somewhere. Thanks for watching, glad to hear you enjoyed!

Please do! Mall crawling... it will be fine.. this is NOT an OFFROAD bumper... Btw... exciting! New jeep!!! 🙌🙌

Always happy to help anyway I can

Thts good... a lot of people I seen running dv8 always talked about how great it was... kinda pisses me off 😂

LMAO, my boy screaming "NOOOOOOO" kills me every time! Id be lying to say they didn't help inspire me LOL

Glad you enjoyed, 🙌

Just happy I saved u some money and steered u to a happy decision! 🙌🙌 thanks for watching!!

🙌 absolutely! Thank you for the feedback and thank you for watching! Means a lot to us!

Glad to hear it and congrats on the new jeep! Always happy to answer any questions! 🙌🙌🙌

Absolutely! Thank you for taking your time and watching the video! 🙌

When you finally get a jeep and want to do some offroad upgrades go find some locals that do some hardcore offloading with their jeeps and ask for advice on parts!

Long as you got something of value from the video! I’m happy. 🙌

Blows my mind people recommend them so much... those brand ambassadors and their 10% coupons 😂😂😂 Iv learned my lesson...

🙌 glad I could save u the headache! 🙌

@@JLLIFEOFFROAD do you know anyone who has the ADD Offroad Rear Stealth Fighter Bumper for 18-20 Jeep Wrangler JL? And if the had a good solid experience with it ? Thank you

0311Devil Dog so I actually know someone who has the rear... we were talking about it after we published this video... she said she is replacing it cause it was thin and bending... she does the rubicon several times a year... I was blown away to hear tht.... ADD is EXPENSIVE

Thank friend! It’s unfortunate... but it is what it is... have you looked at cavfabs lineup? They have made some really sexy bumpers... they just opened Pre orders on a new one I wish I would have gotten 😂😂😂

Which one do you wish you would’ve gotten?

Jeepthis kinda do... 😭😭😭😭 but hey.... 🤷‍♂️ I try to not think about tht lol

Iv learned pretty quickly to avoid dv8.

They make a full width.. Gator don’t take no shit! 😂🙌

@@JLLIFEOFFROAD 🤣🤣🤣🤣👊🏻

Hey!!! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video!

Haven’t seen anything Iv been disappointed with.

Thanks for watching brother.. glad you enjoyed... 🙌🙌

Seems the only time I see DV8 "hold up" is when its strictly on road use. For their prices, you would not think that was the case.

@@JLLIFEOFFROAD I have the barracade front bumper, its doing great, but eventually I'm going to get the road armor front to match everything else. I have road armor out fenders, inner fender lining and rear bumper. All pricy but they are doing pretty good and have taken a bit of beating and you can't even tell.

A ti I’m planning on matching the curtains to the drapes as well 😂😂😂

Send me pictures on my instagram

Brings a smile to my face every time! “NOOOOOOOO!” I mean... idk how to explain it... I figured he be playing with a stick. Not watching me do this 😂😂

How about welding on washers on both sides of the plate or welding in fillers so the holes are just round or welding on solid plates and drilling them where they fit your jeep? Just a thought.

Gunny Sharp had tht thought also... but honestly didn’t want to show support to the brand by fixing their mistakes... I was ready to sand it all down... trim the bottom and weld on some heavy duty washers... but dv8 don’t deserve the advertisement for what they charge for their junk.

I had them on pretty tight... but my worry was if I went super ugga Duggar. I’d snap off the welded but on the frame and have a entire new problem on my hands

I wish I did more research on dv8 before I bought em... I kinda just went off of people on internet... but it’s how we learn I guess 🤷‍♂️ thanks for watching...

Very nice review, in regards of China made.... many, many US companies manufacture their products in China, smittybilt is one of many examples...but it depends on quality controls the owner of the brand request to the manufacturer...

I only use JCR, strongest bumpers around. The rock sliders have been beat on the KOH course and are just scratched. They also have hi lift point that locks the hi lift to the Jeep so it can’t kill you. Coating is pretty tough too! Best quality I’ve seen. Outclasses poison spider, gen right, metal clock, etc... I’m not sponsored or paid by then just have gotten amazing products from them that thrived in KOH

🙌 glad I could help! Appreciate you watching! Thank you!

I have been told this by someone else.. I hope ur able to sell it for a decent price... 😬😬😬 glad to hear you enjoyed ... and thanks for watching 🙌🙌🙌

Lol, I have the Cavfab HD tire carrier... misty has the Rusty’s HD tire carrier 😂 Benefits from the hinge mount.... More OFFROAD clearance Looks better And misty broke a hinge mounted one after digging it into the ground... 😂🙌

Glad to hear you got something useful from the video! Lemme know if you have any questions!

Sooo close 😂😂😂😂😂😂 gonna be snapping necks!

Lol, an instant classic 😂🙌 I used raptor liner when I covered the bumper... cheap and easy to do... I can link the video if u would like? However I get routine scratches from offroading.... I typically just touch put with black matte spray paint when I do.

Everything Iv seen from them... Iv been impressed with the quality.. Also super awesome every step of their process of parts... everything is in the USA...

I’d be more worried about whoever rear ends me 😂

Just don’t trust dv8 to hold up to any degree of abuse 🤷‍♂️

@@JLLIFEOFFROAD yeah, we've bashed both corners. Ours is solid across and the ends are tubes that come together, hard to explain and I haven't seen it for sale anywhere so I'm assuming it's way discontinued. It's dented really bad and of course the coating is coming off all over and the dents are all rusted up. Don't care to try and remedy it as I just want to replace it.

Rock Solid Rig was my thoughts on this one as well

Cavfab and no rattle

Yea... someone told me mall rated... perfect way to explain it

Didn’t need people accusing me of being bias 😂🙌 thanks door watching friend!

It’s the cavfab mid length bumper.. Right here www.cavfab.com/CavFab-Jeep-Wrangler-JL-Predator-Mid-Width-Rear-Bumper_p_333.html 🙌

Sorry to hear it. My experience OEDRO is cheap Chinese junk. They sent me some floor mats we did a video on, darn thing didn't even fit right. They were a little hurt I was honest and wanted me to adjust my wording in the video. CAVFAB is top notch... small American business making beautiful products

Glad you like them!

Lmao, well we see how tht design works 😂 Iv seen one of there hoods in person and I was shocked how lousy of a fit it was... so can’t act surprised... for what they charge... 100% UNACCEPTABLE

How it’s that u don’t have any wheeling locations near u... sounds like u gonna need to travel south my friend 😂

Wyoming BLM and Game and Fush close shit down.😒

@@JLLIFEOFFROAD I got the hood for half price because the bumper was jacked up. 1 shit storm after another.

Rubbing from the diff skid I had on before hand... I’m planning on welding the tubes and welding on a rear truss soon.

I have a upcoming solution for tht.. hoping to have tht video out in the next couple of weeks

Their quality control is nonexistent... Iv seen so many others have issues installing their products... I could never recommend them to anyone... Congratulations on the jeep! If u ever have any questions please feel free to ask.. I remember how it was when I bought my JL 🙌🙌🙌

Cavfab bumpers are stout, strong and will easily protect u in the event of an accident... and when u decide to offroading... rest assured it will stand up to rock abuse...

The free product was sent after the poor coating.. not the flexing into the tub... Tht was a completely different issue... I will never lie when reviewing a product.. a brand or a part... if they try to make it right... great... I’ll mention that too, but I will not conceal facts for free parts... Tht betrays trust with viewers... and continues to allow a company to not try to improve.. 🤷‍♂️ I appreciate your feedback thou.. it’s always great to read what people have to say

Yes tht is an option..just finding a friend with a welder... Lock washers would also be an idea. I hate it when u buy new parts and new hardware is not included 😂

Depends what I are looking for... if ur looking for an over part seller.. I’d recommend rebel OFFROAD or Northridge... But if course they don’t sell every brand either...

Thanks! I’m glad u enjoyed it! 🙌🙌🙌

Thats all im trying to do! thanks for watching!

Any exposed steel will rust... high or low quality... it will rust. However the coating on this dv8 bumper was.... subpar at best... granted I offroad hard... Hard for me to recommend a bumper I haven’t seen up close 😬

Cavfab tail gate reinforcement plate

Yes! Stinggray 🙌🙌

Haven’t heard bad things from them... I actually ordered their tire carrier awhile ago. My experience with the customer service was not so great. So I ordered the part.. was like $900... said their was a 4 week lead time... they charged me right away. 6 weeks go by.. nothing... I contact them and ask about the status.. they tell me 2 more weeks... I waited 3... still nothing.. I call again... told 2 weeks... Repeat... till about 15-16 weeks... I called em and cancelled... the dude I spoke with was audibly upset at me...which I found odd... wouldn’t of been as big of a deal to me if they didn’t charge my credit card at the beginning...

@@JLLIFEOFFROAD What an asshole. Sounds like they don't have enough money to build product. They told me the bumper would take 4 weeks also. I might be willing to give a deposit but would not pay in full after hearing from you. Miss seeing your wife's pretty smile. Keep up the good work.

I wish I knew... he never told me anything but “2 more weeks” hope u have better luck then me lol. Misty??? She was in the last few videos!?! 😂😂😂

Glad to hear it. Northridge is a great place to start.... a lot of other places you can buy direct from.... Iv learned buying from places like, quadratic, Morris 4x4 and extreme terrain, thou occasionally offer decent product.. they mostly push cheaper parts,, which has it place, don't get me wrong. The CS from these same companies is hit and MISS.

Thanks brother.. huge improvements for sure!

Right! Massive upgrades this time around! 🙌🙌🙌

Now that u have started off roading 😘 😂🙌 I seen they opened up preorders for a sexy new on last night on FB..

My man! 🙌

Glad to help. Glad to hear you enjoyed the video!!!

Glad to hear you have not had any issues with em... You are actually a small percentage of people to be able to tell me that. some parts I know prefer looking for bare steel,, bumpers are definitely one of them.... Them bolts were tight every time I readjusted it. like to the point it felt like it was going to break loose the nut on the jeep frame. There is just too much play in the mounting points and its so large it has to much leverage working against it when it gets hit. Thank you for watching, appreciate the comment hope to hear from you again!

They came with the diff cover... and retry sure they are grade 8 bolts

@@JLLIFEOFFROAD thanks bud - I'll check into them

Brian Head no problem 😂🙌

Lol... the first one is always the worst 😂

Good question... and i can’t answer it... when I went from a 35-38 tire.. I upgraded my carrier... 😬 it very well... WILL fit with this bumper... but I’d caution you from using one of them brackets...they are not very strong... and will lead to rattling.. Thts a lot of weight to be shaking all the time... I mean... can u use a relocation bracket / stock carrier for an over sized tire? Yes... should U? I’d say no.. But I feel I went off the rails here.. Iv seen other people bolt on a 37 to their stock carrier... they all said it worked... but started to notice issues with noises in the hinges... I hope this helped.. I know spare carriers are expensive 😬

JL LIFE OFFROAD that is beyond helpful! I’ve got the reinforcement bracket for the door and the relocation for the license plate I was just debating about putting on the relocation for the spare as well… You’ve given me a ton of knowledge I did not have before! Not to mention me and my boy love watching your videos it’s one of the only things he will sit down and watch nonstop!

Thts awesome! Glad to hear tht y’all been enjoying em and finding uses from it all! Appreciate your support my friend! Hope we never lose it!

Glad I could help out,. Are u talking about the tow harness??

For the trailer light hook ups. The bracket thats houses the hook ups overlaps the bumper

Hmmm... so my hitch is only the hitch.... I don’t have the wire harness... Is it possible to relocate the plug??

Hey brother! Welcome to the channel!

Absolutely! THANK YOU for watching!

No complaints with it, holding up well and been abused plenty

@@JLLIFEOFFROAD and how much to powder coat it once you receive it?

Yea of course, the link is in the description, but Here it is friend www.cavfab.com/CavFab-JL-JLU-Predator-Mid-Width-Rear-Bumper_p_333.html Lemme know if it don’t work 🙌🙌🙌

I must have overlooked the link in the video, but thanks for the info. I’m going to check it out.

Absolutely! 🙌

Thanks for watching brother, we love ya and hope all is well with you and the ms.

Thanks friend! Glad to hear u enjoying it all! Appreciate you!!

Thanks, I think it looks great. Im likely going to get the Rustys Fascia Corner guard to install. But not to worried about it, after all the abuse I did to the DV8 one, I never hit it beyond where this bumper ends. It always caught off the ass end.

JL LIFE OFFROAD - do you have a link cor the corner guards from Rustys? I did the exact thing to my bumper and body that you did. I’m looking for a new bumper, but would like to look into the corner trim pieces. Thanks.

1234nbbw sure do.. here u go www.rustysoffroad.com/rusty-s-rear-fascia-cover-kit-jl-wrangler.html

Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed it! I like how PS looks as well. People understand problems when I show them.. not just tell them... hoping this quarantine ends soon.. I’m ready ready for some fun stuff!

Tht is the cavfab HD tire carrier... love it... it’s been great... holding strong 🙌🙌

That’s awesome man 🙌🙌🙌 fabbing is my ultimate goal... just building the skills and tools

Thank you! Have u considered trying to sell your old one? lol you might get lucky

Sound idea, and likely what ill do in addition to a reinforcement piece that goes over that area. Appreciate you friend!

Nothing wrong with Rusty’s .... least as far as bumpers go. It’s more of a matter of preference... I just felt rusty bumpers looked... very basic... Cavfabs looked better imho... plus they had free shipping when I got this one... Wish I had gotten the ultra.... lol but this was about 2 months before they released it Still love this bumper thou.. been holding up great to all the abuse Both American companies...

@@JLLIFEOFFROAD Thanks for replying! So with the fascia, do the micro’s offer the needed level of protection or am I better to go with the ultra that covers a little more of the tub?

I was leaning towards Rusty’s for that very reason... basic/traditional. My front bumper has that same look (for now).

So really gonna depend what ur gonna want from ur bumper... the fascia cover is great but it’s thin and won’t hold to heavy use... it’s more so protection from minor hits, drags and scraps.... Tht being said, my wife’s jeep has the micro with fascia cover... we haven’t had an issue yet... she wheels as hard as me

@@JLLIFEOFFROAD good points. I do want clearance. I want some solid protection too. I don’t see myself doing anything more than what you’re doing. I was going with the oem steel rubi bumper with the cosmetic caps removed until I heard about the flexing issue. Someone told me I could still run the OEM w/the fascia but I still worry that it could flex and gouge the tub beyond the fascia??? I’m literally trying to sell it now which is proving difficult even though it’s in the box and hasn’t been installed. I had chosen the OEM for the mere fact that it keeps the license plate on the bumper. I’m not a fan of any of the plate relocations for the JL. Although now I’m looking at the tow hitch plate mount with an extreme/ultra rear. It would be easier had I not made the mistake of ordering the OEM before hearing about the flex issues or watching your video :)

Yes

Lol, we all get accustomed to the damage in our own pace.. Stay away from dv8... crap

Get one life, live and enjoy it!
