Looks like they were out testing some stuff and snapped the tie rod. I really dig their soft top rack. Looks like the bumper held up well too.

Did we watch the same video? The front bumper twisted and pushed the winch into the grill.Looks like they were out testing some stuff and snapped the tie rod. I really dig their soft top rack. Looks like the bumper held up well too.
I would be comfortable lifting like that from the mod bumper. I'm not sure how DV8 does their tie ins.Did we watch the same video? The front bumper twisted and pushed the winch into the grill.
While I love DV8 products, and I have first hand experience with their great customer service, this was not a good look for the bumper. It absolutely should not be used for lifting the front end in a recovery.
Frame Mounts bent. Bumper was completely fine!Did the bumper bend, or the frame mounts? I'm not sure I'd use the recovery points for lifting the front end but it'd be nice to know why the bumper bent up like that.
Our bumper held up to the test with no issues! Fords frame horns were the weak point that bent.Did we watch the same video? The front bumper twisted and pushed the winch into the grill.

So the recovery points should not be used for lifting, only pulling? Can you post pictures of the damage?Frame Mounts bent. Bumper was completely fine!
I stand corrected. I will edit my original post to ensure people have the right information.Our bumper held up to the test with no issues! Fords frame horns were the weak point that bent.
So can the frame horns be reinforced, or what is the fix to prevent similar issues?Frame Mounts bent. Bumper was completely fine!
