DV8 Offroad

DV8 Offroad builds off-road armour and accessories for Jeeps and mid-size trucks — parts across bumpers, rock sliders, skid plates, light mounts, tire carriers and interior accessories.

Most of the range is protection with a mounting job attached. Their bumpers include provision for lights and winches rather than leaving you to fabricate it, and their rock sliders and skid plates bolt to frame points designed to take a load, which is the distinction that matters when a slider takes the vehicle's weight on a rock.

Steel armour adds real weight, and it adds it at the ends of the vehicle where it affects ride and spring rate most. A front bumper and winch together usually justify a heavier front spring to bring ride height and damping back to where they were.
