ARCHIVE Victory4x4 prototyping part 2

[Ramzizaz]

We are trying to find a line to work with both 10-13 and 14-21 GX. Beyond that, we still need space to fit our bombproof spindle assemblies.

Hitch will integrated into the bottom of the bumper.

When you say fork, I’m thinking the fork through axle mounts? Not sure how that would work.

Weight capacity is pretty high. I’m not sure you could overload them with normal gear.

Thank you for the response. Here are the types of bike fork mounts I am talking about: Thule ThruRide - https://www.thule.com/en-us/bike-rack/roof-bike-racks/thule-thruride-_-1683514

Unfortunately for the GXs (Swing door) most bike racks are not great as they don't let the door open which would make a swing out bike carrier a great solution from the bumper.

Alternatively a native solution you guys might be interested in developing like this Bike racks - https://4x4labs.myshopify.com/products/bike-racks or just an accessory hitch receiver in the swing arm to fit more horizontal type of bike racks.

definitely subbing to follow this.

I don’t see any reason you couldn’t mount those on one carrier.

I don’t see any reason you couldn’t mount those on one carrier.

The front mounting point is pretty high and it seems like your adventure swing out is fairly short. Unless possible things can be mounted to the side ladder attachment. It's a bit nerve racking adding 10k worth of bikes so appreciate the help

Any updates of when these bumpers will go into production?

 

[brimy311]

Update! First working prototype of the GX460 front. It’s designed to fit both front ends. Tube work going to be sorted out Monday!

Any reason it sticks out about an inch on each side and is not more flush with the body lines?

this is EXACTLY what i've been hoping for! will it retain the parking sensors? Will there be a bar-work option?

i'm 100% going to start squirrelling away right now in anticipation.

I feel like most of them do. ARB for instance does quite a bit. Also it kind of looks like a camera perspective thing more than the sides sticking out.

A couple things are a making it look a little goofy:
1.) iPhone camera
2.) The black body cladding. We’ll cut the body matched version for the install video.

it does stick out a little more than it could, but this is to make clearance for the tube work. We will only have one base bumper; with or without tube.

Any input on parking sensors and whether there will be an option for bars/hoops?

Yes to both.

 

[BigSh00ts]

Yes to both.

I am over the moon. This looks great.

Will there be options for the rear swing arms? Instead of Rotopax would there be an option for Scepter Fuel Cans?
Both look great so far.

Really looking forward to this.

I really like the fact you're keeping the headlight washer nozzles. This looks very clean!
Question about the tubing, when one orders with the bumper tubing, with the tubing allow for attaching "fender guards" that go from the front bumper, over the wheel arch of the front fenders to the rock sliders? Much like the ARB's can do.
I've always really liked the ability of protecting those front fenders, especially after some idiot decided to share my lane with me and tagged my right front fender.
If I had those guards in place, his vehicle would have been the only one with damage. Albeit, I believe he got the worst of it!

 

[brimy311]

We don’t have plans for over the fender bars.

Here’s the prototype of the 14+ blitz bumper!

Appears that the portion of the plastic bumper is retained to allow use of the washers, is that correct? Winch line/drum visibility is critical to spot a fouled or side loading of the drum this appears to be decent. The vertical slot next to the light bar slot is that the blinker location? Will this house the Warn Zeon winch with the controller installed? Ballpark weight with/without tube work?

I will be ready for this by mid March!

Second bumper, nice!
