{"product_id":"dv8-offroad-bronco-tailgate-reinforcement-molle-panel","title":"DV8 Offroad Bronco Tailgate Reinforcement MOLLE Panel","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe DV8 Offroad Tailgate Reinforcement MOLLE Panel is a bolt-on 3mm steel panel for the 2021–2026 Ford Bronco that strengthens the factory rear door to better distribute spare tire load while adding a full molle-compatible mounting surface for trail gear. Bolt-on installation requires no cutting or drilling and is estimated at approximately 1.5 hours. This panel fits all 2021–2026 Ford Bronco trims except the Bronco Raptor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTailgate Reinforcement for Larger Spare Setups\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory Ford Bronco tailgate concentrates spare tire load at a small number of mounting points. The DV8 Offroad Tailgate Reinforcement MOLLE Panel spreads that load across the full door structure, reducing stress on those factory points when running larger spare tires, including 35-inch setups. For Bronco owners who have upgraded their spare tire size, that added structural support translates directly to less long-term wear on the tailgate and greater confidence on rough terrain where the door flexes under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBolt-On MOLLE Mounting Surface\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvenly spaced 1\/4-inch mounting holes and a molle-compatible pattern across the panel face give Bronco owners a dedicated, secure surface for tools, recovery gear, antennas, and chase lights without modifying the factory door. The panel is engineered to integrate with DV8 quick-release MOLLE panel tool mounts (UNMM-01 and UNRM-01), allowing frequently used trail gear to be staged for fast access and removed just as quickly when not needed. Because the entire system is bolt-on with no cutting or drilling required, the factory tailgate is preserved and the panel can be removed if priorities change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDurable Finish, Paintable Accent\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA micro-texture black powder coat finish gives the DV8 Offroad Tailgate Reinforcement MOLLE Panel a clean, low-glare appearance that holds up to trail use. The aluminum logo backing plate is paintable, allowing owners to match it to a custom color scheme or leave it in the factory finish. Together, these details keep the panel looking intentional rather than aftermarket-heavy alongside the Bronco's factory bodywork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad distribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3mm steel construction spreads spare tire weight across the full tailgate door\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e35-inch spare support:\u003c\/strong\u003e engineered to provide additional support when running a 35-inch spare tire\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMOLLE-compatible pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e evenly spaced 1\/4-inch mounting holes accept standard MOLLE accessories and DV8 quick-release tool mounts (UNMM-01, UNRM-01)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolt-on installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e no cutting or drilling required; estimated 1.5-hour install\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicro-texture black powder coat:\u003c\/strong\u003e durable low-glare finish for trail and daily use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaintable aluminum logo backing plate:\u003c\/strong\u003e allows color customization to match a build\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTCBR-04\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePanel Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3mm steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLogo Backing Plate\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAluminum (paintable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMicro-texture black powder coat\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2021–2026 Ford Bronco, all trims excluding Bronco Raptor\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBolt-on; no cutting or drilling required\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEstimated Install Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eApproximately 1.5 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCompatibility Note\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNot compatible with OEM HD tire carrier or any aftermarket tire carrier\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe DV8 Offroad Tailgate Reinforcement MOLLE Panel suits 2021–2026 Ford Bronco owners running a larger spare tire (particularly 35-inch setups) who want a dedicated, bolt-on surface for mounting trail recovery gear, antennas, chase lights, or tools on the rear door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis panel does not fit the Bronco Raptor and is not compatible with the OEM HD tire carrier or any aftermarket tire carrier.
