No. It most likely would hit the tire.
@brimy311 for the new rear bumper, does the hitch have a threaded hole for the hitch pin? I often use a hitch mounted bike rack and the pin which secures the rack to the hitch has threads in it and screws in snugly to the factory hitch. I just want to make sure the same is true for the new bumper.

Your rack has the threaded hole. The hitch just has a through hole, like the factory hitch.
I feel really dumb, thank you.

Our 2012 GX460 outside, all built. Going to be adding HD rear springs Friday. Tire carriers, tire, gear, rear bumper is around 350-375lbs of extra weight.

This looks awesome! Better than the others I've seen!
So... How soon and how much??
Quick question, have you had a tall person sit in the middle see to see if they hit their head on the rack?

Looks great!
Thanks for posting theses front bumper pics! I'm on week 8 as of the 16th of July, hoping it ships by the end of the month or 10 weeks!
Looking great. Do you have a thread or more pictures of the installation, fit and winch fit?
Thanks.. full disclosure: My mechanical ability isn’t to the level of most herebut happy to share my experience. Quality is good. Fit is spot on. Very happy overall. My Only minor gripe would be the tolerance between bumper and plastic at the forward-most points on each side. I’ll likely have to remove the bumper and recut the plastic.
Winch fit was no problem. I mounted a Warn EVO10 and didn’t need to relocate the controller due to space. There’s about 3” clearance above the top of the controller and 6” clearance behind the winch. plenty of room. That said, you might still relocate the controller for better visibility of the line from above.

Life's tough, but someone has to do it.
It's nice to see a company doing some real life testing to see what kind of side protection is needed!! Maybe Victory will do a exo-skeleton cage for the gX460's??
Hopefully not body damage on that last pic.
Does anyone know if Victory 4x4 does any sales? Really eyeing the front and rear strike bumpers and adventure carriers. Thinking I may wait until the holiday season in hopes that there is a discount.

Just go over to there website: Victory 4x4 - https://www.victory4x4.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjwxo6IBhBKEiwAXSYBs8nELHaCpWXjhaW_03lulcHTBC7mUIfOmB0tmgbVXNwWOIZgQwrpwhoCgZsQAvD_BwE
I've purchased their MOLLE rear quarter panels and love them. I'm now waiting for them to finish designing their rear MOLLE shelf rack!
As a Victory 4x4 employee, I think brimy311 uses us (the GX community) as a sounding board for many of their products.
Gotta love it when a vendor really want's to mix it up with their customers and willing to accept some criticism along with the kudos!
