Yah. Materials are absolutely madness since January. I wish things were cheaper to make, but it is what it is.

We can’t all be arm chair business owners. We are very reasonable company to work with. There is always a story behind these customer rants, then they get mad when we post about it on a public forum they called us out on. It’s hard to make things right when the customer has decided against all solutions.
.
At the risk of sounding like an idiot, for the Blitz front bumpers, is the factory fascia made of multiple pieces or is cutting the fascia required in order to mount?

Cutting the facia is required.
I was thinking the same thing. I even wondered if it was the wrong bumper or could it have been damaged in shipping. I’m sure that a little flat black paint in the right places would have helped it looked better. I hope all ends well for the 100 and it’s owner!
Considering V4x4 is offering them a full refund + shipping costs (and that 100 owner is still putting them on blast for some reason) if anything I feel more confident buying from them. Always remember to get both sides of the story.
I've been happy with my purchase from Victory, the transaction went smoothly and the rack did great along the White Rim trail this past weekend. And I wanted an excuse to post some pics

I too have been very pleased with my Victory purchase. No problems, a good video for an easy install. What more could I ask?
BTW, I purchased the rear quarter MOLLE panels for my rig.

Seems the company did their customer right by doing that. Shame on the customer for continuing to blast them. Victory took ownership of their mistake and tried making it right.
I too am happy with their products and haven’t had an issue. Hoping to see more pictures of their bumpers. I was going the Ironman route but that thing is way too heavy.
Trust me, save your money. The Ironman bumper is less than desirable.
So what do you recommend instead???
I wouldn't go that far.
We are all waiting for Victory and Demello.
Winch access and visibility is key. Being able to see the winch line feed on the drum is critical. Being able to clear a fouled rope is critical. A reduction in weight over the Ironman would be great as well.
I obtained pictures of the Expedition One and winch access is just as bad as the Ironman. Not a fan of the looks of the Metal Tech but at least you can see the winch drum/line.
If you like the hybrid type the LFD hybrid for the 10-13 has great winch line access and visibility.
But it looks so damn good on the Lifestyle Overland GX 460 build

A big chunk of space is taken up by that 3000 watt pure sine inverter.
Question: So why do you need such a fricken big inverter for???
When camping, I like to cut and split my own fire wood instead of takng up a bunch of space hauling firewood.
I used to carry a gas chain saw but was tired of the drips, oil-gas mixture, stink inside the vehicle and of course if I don't use it for a while, the constant pull and pull and pull etc. to start it.
I researched and found this Worx 18" electric chainsaw:
Amazon product ASIN B007AQZ9QC
But I needed an inverter that was powerful enough to run it, hence this 3000 watt inverter:
Amazon product ASIN B0131PZ9J2
That's also why I ran 1/0 AWG welding gauge wire
from my second (house) battery to the back of my rig with a 300 amp circuit breaker:

I mean,, I was kinda wondering. The working theory was that it for powering the audio/visual at the backcountry tailgate
Always been a fan of Demello's offerings in the Toyota world. Thanks for the feedback as I didn't realize the shortcomings of the Ironman. It "looks" the best of current offerings IMO, but function is even more important.
