DV8s Capable bumper bull bar!

[Lowcountry Bronco]

I know a few have posted up over the years about wanting a bull bar for the capable bumper. Well, thanks to @BigBendBW for letting me know, it seems that DV8, @DV8offroad, snuck one out there for us!

I'll say installation was kinda a pain for me, I consider myself a novice that can do most small jobs so your mileage may vary. You do have to drill 3 holes per side so the bumper has to come off, which was the easiest part of the job. Make sure you have a good drill bit, I had to order one that was supposedly for metal and it was work. I'd recommend after you mark the spots to use a tap and a smaller bit as a starter because the big bit just wanted to walk. You'll need a rivnut tool so buy one in advance or borrow from a friend, I bought this one from Harbor Freight and had no issues:

Outside of that, here's some pics, install instructions are in the DV8 link above. The bar does have attachments you can add for 2 3" lights or a light bar depending on how you flip them. I think "forum member" still works on their site for a 10% discount which makes it cheaper than Amazon or you can use GovX if you're military affiliated.

Here's the holes drilled out:

Looks good. How well do the finishes match up in person? I’m on the fence, not sure how much I like only mounting in the rear. For a light mount, it’s fine I’m sure. You might want to stay away from any bulls though!

It's a tad blacker than the bumper but the Bronco is a year old so it'll fade to match I'm sure. It's not going to do much to protect anything but it's plenty solid for a light mount. Luckily no random bulls on the coast but them dang deer, if I can throw more light to see 'em then it's worth it.
