DV8 Front Bumper w/ Recessed Winch Previewed on Green 2021 Bronco

[Bison]

Haven’t heard good things about the brand. There jeep bumpers look good but the people who actually hit rocks with them have had issues. A guy at work has all dv8 on his jeep and it looks great but he does not actually go on the trails.

Honestly I like the stock heavy duty bumper. Idk if I’d swap it for this beast looks heavier.

Well you are entitled to your opinion even if it's wrong.

The bumper; is it a rendering or has it in FACT actually been designed? In other words, is their actually room inside of it that it will hold a large winch AND, IF doing so...does this bumper then also stick out too far, is it too deep, as to allow a downward camera angle? (the complaint many give for the Ford Winch set up).

I like the whole thing! I have no clue how that can pull it off in reality, but it will be awesome if that can!

That bumper isn't terribly difficult from a manufacturing standpoint. It starts life as a CNC waterjet cut plate of steel. All the Badlands grille openings, logos, openings are waterjetted at that state as well. All the sharp creases are where it gets hit with a CNC sheet metal brake. The top of the bumper and the formed lower edges are all tabs separated by pie cuts (V-shaped cuts) so that when you fold the front face the pie cuts close up and are welded. Grind the welds smooth, attach your brackets that mount to the truck and powdercoat. Tying in the winch mount is the biggest question and that may or may not be a challenge. Just depends on how things look when they get a truck apart.

DV8 has posted a CGI preview of its front bumper with recessed winch on a rendered green 2021 Bronco.

That is awesome! I likely

like it but would like to use round squadron SAE's in the bumper and seal the center section up.

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!! WILL LOOK INTO WHEN ADVAILABLE

Gimme a darker green with that saddle brown interior and now we're talking! Dumbfounding that Ford didn't offer that from the start.

Liking the integrated winch and match to the grille design.

Only thing I'm not wild about is the angular look towards the ends. Not opposed to that look in general, but I don't like it on the Bronco.

I was thinking it would look nicer with white Bronco lettering, so I made a quick Photoshop:

Now, I sort of want to put the modular bumper on it.

I plan on making all my orange trim on my carb gray badlands that color green. I hope that grill becomes a real thing.

Cool design. We have put DV8 stuff on some Jeeps, Addictive Dessert Designs makes some nice stuff also.

I like the Bronc bumper from DV8. will look good on most Broncos, 'kinda only goes with the grille it matches, might not look as good with a 6-hole grille. IMO

For me though, I would require a "higher clearance" style bumper. Not afraid to just bend up some tube and use some plate to make my own bumper/skid for my Base.
