DV8 offroad tire carrier provides a high clearance tire mounting solution that is all about function.It holds the tire tighter for better departure angles.
I bought this because it look nice and sturdy for what I needed. So I spent the hard earned money to find that it is even close to being a quality product. Design is good but manufacture and quality control is horrible. This is coming from someone who has been in metal fab for over 30yrs. Had to cut and weld 2 sections because it was short or just that skewed. Would have returned it but as you install it you have to alter and drill. Better be commited!
It is absolutely awesome, great look and great quality.
Part was Defective I think. He’s wouldn’t line up across swing gate. A lot of items were loose in the box. There were no instructions with the assembly and the one online were hard to understand and missing steps, need to be Re-done.
Does not sit right no matter what u do. Has a backwards lean. Rattles like crazy. Claims to fit a 42" tire. Well, I run 35s and the latch for the swing down feature will not work with a 12.5 tire. Takes 2 full grown men to latch it to the tailgate without the tire and 3 with it. And the wires for the camera and 3rd brake light have to be disconnected to swing away everytime, which is everytime u open the tailgate because the pin to keep it connected is too short. Also the pin pulls rotate and will scratch your tailgate. I got a refund after several hundred dollars of return shipping.
The measurements of the solid side were off. It meant that grinding was needed to make the carrier slide in to the bracket. But all in all it looks great just what I wanted. Hopefully they can correct the welding measurements that would make it perfect
Its built well but the bumper flexes when you open it resulting in the entire thing becoming loose, really loose. Im having to redo the bolts again this morning and then im going to have to weld the bumper on at some point. All that money...
Love the single action. Very well made and great fit to my DV 8 bumper
