Dv8 and factory capable bumper

[XrobbyX]

Hello everyone. Im new here and have been poking around about a few questions and haven't been able to find what I'm looking for so maybe some one can help.
1, so i was wondering if any one knows or has the dv8 oe plus bumper and if so is it direct bolt to bronco with a standard bumper or will i have to cut tow hooks?
2, is the capable bumper direct fit for standard or is cutting involved there as well? And what if any parts are needed with the capable bumper

Had the same question myself as I'm also looking seriously at that DV8 bumper. Bonus points if anyone also has installed AMP Research power running boards!

Why is it called a capable bumper? It’s a turd. Haha

I'm thinking of getting the dv8 oe plus series front bumper and the dv8 mto series rear bumper with the elite series pods for both. Did you end up getting the dv8 front?

I have the DV8 FS-15 front bumper and it’s a direct fit.

It's capable of making Ford a few extra bucks! We got one on our Badlands and I can't wait to swap it out. Bonus was we got a spot/switch for the fog lights.

Hello. No unfortunately i didnt yet. I found out i have to cut factory tow hooks off or get different brackets and im not ready to cut up my car yet haha. But its still my favorite bumper, if you have the modular bumper its a direct fit tho

I'm under the impression that you don't have to cut them off. I'll ask DV8 directly.

I asked them directly thats how i found out haha i was under the same impression so i called and emailed

Was talking to someone here who put on the DV8 oe series and left the factory tow hooks on. They are under the bumper. I think I will swap out my plastic front and back bumpers for the DV8's after the holidays.

I have the OE Plus and left the factory tow loops on. I like having 4 recovery points. I also did the 4 x Elite Pods. They are insanely bright and the beam pattern is super-spread. Just an FYI.

Installation was super easy too. It only took an hour, maybe.

I’m getting the standard OBX bumper with SAS and I’m looking at this. The one thing I don’t like is the wheel flares stick out past the end of the bumper. Anyone else think that doesn’t look right?
