DV8 Off-road centric front bumper and interior molle panels dropping very soon.

This is probably the best looking solution Iโ€™ve seen and I think the price is fair. Iโ€™m very close to pulling the trigger, but have some concerns about the significant added weight of the bumper plus a winch. In addition to some over landing and offloading I spend most of my time commuting on highways and wonder how this would affect front end performance, airflow, and even they already poor mileage?

I know. There are so many cool things I'd like to do but if I did all the things I want it would probably be getting 13mpg. :ROFLMAO:
 
Looks like a solid functional upgrade while preserving the style of the LC250. Impressive. This may be the one for me.

If the DV8 are interested, I'd love to see a rear bumper that maintained all the sensors/camera, provided a mount for a full-sized spare and maintained the style of the LC250.
 
I am not sure but it looks like at least 1 or 2 bolts go into that radiator bracket. If so, then I am staying far far away from this. If you search radiator on this forum you will see several folks have bottomed out the front end off roading and broke the weld on that radiator bracket thus causing damage to the radiator and condenser. repair bill said to be $7K+. I am looking to transfer impacts away from that bracket and what is a very low hanging radiator. Anything that touches that bracket is an instant no for me. I have the first edition engine skid plate and I believe even this uses the radiator brackets on its front 2 bolts so I am looking to replace that soon as well.

again, cant tell if that is the case on this one based on the install instructions but a few of those bolts look like they could be touching that bracket.

They have the installation guide up, it looks like it only connects to the frame. Their front skid plate looks like it might also add reinforcement in the front to connect to the frame instead of only the radiator? I havenโ€™t looked at that installation guide yet.

Great option to consider for off-road / Overland people:
Very reasonable cost, minimalist design, maintain the OEM nice/friendly look and front sensors of LC 250, also provide room for integrated winch mount / light bar

If I go with it, I will โ€œdeleteโ€ the branding/logo. See attached photos

New LC250 parts by DV8 Off-road available tonight 12am!
Message me for 15% off code for LC250 parts!

I LOVE this bumper.. Not over the top and keeps the stock look.

But question:
Is this 15% off on TOP of the already sale price posted on the site? I ask because I've come across vendors on my previous vehicles who did similar posts and mentioned discounts were already part of the posted sale price.

Those specifics were not relayed to me. Just given a discount code: dv8cruiser
Let me know if itโ€™s stackable.
