ARCHIVE Victory4x4 GX prototyping

[brimy311]

@brimy311 just saw on T4r where you guys are releasing a 5th Gen 4Runner rear bumper. Please consider something for the 460 as well...cutting the plastic bumper cover (like on the T4R) is not a problem, at least not for me. I'd love something that is lower profile than the MetalTech. I understand the T4R bumper should bolt up to a GX460, but the only issue is the rear quarter panels and how it flows.

Once we get the 4runner bumpers done, we'll look to adapt the designs over to the GX460. It might be Fall before we get to it, but we'll get here! I promise!

I dont think I have seen a rear ladder for the GX460 yet, might be a bit tricky with the swing out. Honestly I probably would never use it to step on, but to carry accessories like my trasharoo or traction boards I would.

The GX460 skids are live!

Front Bumper - already got skids, roof rack, sliders, rear bumper - make a front bumper that work with the 14+ sensors and integrates well with the front grill. Don't skimp out on the wheel wells by not bending steel to allow for a modified fender liner. MetalTech skimped on theirs. You should also view GXOR on facebook as there are way more modified GX's on that site.

I would buy a rear ladder like the Gobi setup in a second. Rear swing away spare tire carrier.

We are really close on the 460 rack. Should have 470 rack wrapped up right behind this one.

I'm not in the market for a rack since I already have a full replacement from another company, but I love how quickly you guys are moving with this development. Shops that take over a year to develop skids or a rack kind of turn me off...

Will it work with the sunroof and XM antenna?

Yes and yes.

This is only one of the projects going on with Engineering at the moment. We are also currently working a Colorado (roof rack, bed rack), 5th gen 4runner (rear bumper with dual swings), GX470 (rack, skids), Gladiator (just picked it up a couple days ago, starting on that) and we also have a 4th gen 4runner here getting a blitz bumper prototyped.

My engineering team consists of 4.5 people. Most of the competition in this Toyota/Lexus space only have like 4.5 employees total! Ha! It's on the biggest advantage we have at Victory4x4. Since we consists of 32,000sqft and 30 employees, we can do every part of our process in house. From machining to laser, bending to fab, and powder coating. Our reputation is quickly growing for not only having excellent customer service but also quick delivery times!

A rear hatch mounted spare tire bracket. I've found one from ACC Garage that recently hit the market. I'm in Lansing, MI so if you ever need any field testing for prototypes... let me know .

Since I have a Gamiviti full rack, I can't remember how my factory rails functioned, but since I'm an R&D engineer I'll throw out an idea anyways. Think about using Delrin as the attachment to the rail. Using Delrin has the advantages that I noted above of being easy to machine, chemical and weather resistant and lubricious for sliding along the rails. Design the attachment to the factory rail with this and use either DOM or Chromoly tubing for the cross bar. If I had a stock GX around I could probably design one up for you in SolidWorks (I have my own license of SW) but there aren't a lot of these beauties around like there are 4R's or Taco's.

I have a stock GX (rails)) and I was just thinking how great it would be if I there was an R&D engineer around who wanted to design an OEMish rack in SolidWorks. Just say'n....

I am in on the Roof rack. Just one thought. Make a provision for a Rigid or Heretic lights for the sides. I am a fan of the JCR stuff for my old XJ and current JKU. I am getting reacquainted with Toyota and would like to add that rack asap. It is hurricane season here in FL. I need one for my bug out plans.

 

[Turbohardtop]

I am looking for a roof rack as well.

 

[TriArcher]

Group buy?

Group buy?

I’d be in for a roof rack for a group buy, and like Stepsride said, add some side cutouts for lights.

 

[Stepsride]

Question: will the OEM roof rack length be available the same time the full length is released?

 

[brimy311]

The racks are now released and available!

We are only offering one length, a full length option. The sunroof continues to operate with the rack. You can leave a bar out if you want the view totally uninhibited.
