ARCHIVE Victory4x4 prototyping part 2 (5 Viewers)

Just a quick update. We had a couple delays/hurtles on the full front strikes. Both of those are behind us now and I’m going to be pushing for a release late this week!

As you can see in the pics, both of our GX’s are in the hoists in the tech center. So they are top priority!

The rear strike is coming along. This is revision #3

Hey man, keep up the good work! The rear bumper looks awesome and I'm glad finally someone putting GX at some sort of priority lol. I was going to get the blitz but I'll wait for more weeks. If someone were to have just a right side tire carrier, would it be possible to like it to the license plate bracket to open together with the hatch?

But it looks so damn good on the Lifestyle Overland GX 460 build

It does look good. I had one. A Hi Lift Jack doesn’t look good, it’s heavy, but it’s function and usability is incredible and worth the weight.

When installed my rock sliders my business partners Demello front bumper (for a 2nd gen Taco) arrived on the same pallet. I could easily move that bumper around by myself. Try that with a Ironman, let alone the cradle as well. Easily 50-75 lbs heavier than the Demello Taco bumper. That is forward of the front axle.

I would estimate the Demello or Victory front bumper for the GX coming in much less than the Ironman.

 

[BigSwede]

This is just my opinion, but the Ironman bumper is too heavy and sticks out too far, impinging on approach angle, which makes it bad for two of my top priorities in a bumper.

But it does cost less than a bumper that better meets my needs too, so if your priorities are different then your choice might be too.

The front of the GX sticks out too far to begin with, it's just the design. But yes, the Ironman accentuates that making it stick out even further.

Yeah there is some empty space behind the grill on the GX for sure.

 

[CaptRussia253]

Yes I’ve noticed that. Lots of unused space.

The perfect spot for that winch mount lol.

@brimy311 The bumper is in the cart, before I push the go button I have a quick question(s). What winch was the blitz bumper designed around? Is there a preferred winch configuration that works well with this bumper? I'm thinking about access to the controls and clutch.

Warn Evo is a great option.

Here’s the strike no tube, they were working on install docs, video and product photos the last few days. Very close!

I'd love to see some shots from the side for this!

 

[Washingtontaco]

Please, detailed views of the winch (with light), access to the drum, winch mounting and control pack placement.

When I state “light” clarity, not LED light bar installation.

Please show how the winch is mounted.

Does this fit the 10-13 too?

I spy full hoops. Can I /we see what the 10-13 front end looks like with them?

 

[offroad47]

Yes please!

I like that it doesn't stick way out from the front hood. Makes parallel parking easier.

 

[CaptRussia253]

I’m digging it for sure.

 

[brimy311]

Turned out nicely! Chipping away.
