87 days for me. I ordered mine in bare metal.
87 business days? I’m not opposed to running it bare metal for the trip and having it coated afterwards lol.
87 total days…87 days
That sounds pretty good. When I called them they were talking business days so it had me a little worried

I ordered on August 8th, 2021, and received on January 6th, 2022. Ish. Was missing some parts I had to wait a few days for while they expedited them. Strike front bumper, powder coated. 103 "business" days, not counting 6 holidays. 5 months, 150 calendar days, including weekends. Welcome to our new economy... Love the bumper, though! Glad to see wait times coming down.

If you don't have time for powder coating, just rattle can it for your trip. Do minimal prep, e.g. no primer or anything, just rattle can it since it'll only be on there a few months. Nice thing about that is you can rattle can any color you want to try out, then when you powder coat, you can go with basic black or if you liked the color of your spray can job, have it powder coated in that!
When you get back and have it powder coated, they'll have to sandblast it all anyways to get any impurities off the surface regardless of whether or not you painted. That's remove surface rust, oils, road grime, etc. and your rattle can paint before powder coating.
I received my rear bumper on July 5th. Order was placed on May 6th. I guess I got lucky.
Just installed the front Strike. Anybody have trouble with the turn signals? They work fine as hazard flashers, but as turn signals I get the fast flash and the bumper turn signals don't even light up. I assume this means I need resistors?

If your hazards are working fine, then a resistor won't help. Resistors are usually used when swapping out to LED's.
I suggest dropping the turn signals, literally, take them off the bumper and let them hang while still being wired and try all your signals again.
If they all work, then put on signal in at a time and test your signals, each one in turn. If you're having an electrical this may find it.
That's all assuming nothing has been cut or pinched during the bumper install.

Thanks for the reply, but this isn't making sense to me. They blink properly in tandem, when the hazards are engaged, so there isn't a bad connection. And they are LEDs, whereas the factory turn signals were incandescent, so I'm thinking that in tandem there is enough resistence to operate the flasher properly, but when only one is in use as a turn signal there isn't enough resistence.
I'm going to call Victory and see what they say.

I think you may be onto something. With the hazards on there may be enough resistance for them to flash at a slower speed, whereas just a left or right may need resistors.
I installed some resistor packs I bought years ago but never used. The turn signals still flash fast, but now the bumper LEDs are flashing, so at least I have function. I will probably look for stronger resistors to get the flash speed back to normal.
I'm surprised nobody else has encountered this problem here. Is my 2018 the newest GX to get a Strike here?

you faaaaancy...
No issues on my 2011 with Edison-era turn signals...
On many vehicles, we have found that the hazards don't need a resistor for fast flash while the turns do. It could be a difference in relay types or the load from 4 bulbs. Not sure.
We've had good luck with the resistors from Diode Dynamics, but there are a million options on the web:

Thanks for chiming in Victory!
Thanks for that, I assumed the resistors went in line, not pos to neg like that, so looks like I need to redo it.On many vehicles, we have found that the hazards don't need a resistor for fast flash while the turns do. It could be a difference in relay types or the load from 4 bulbs. Not sure.

Wish I'd seen this before I ordered additional resistors... that's four and a half dollars down the drain
Was the issue with winches sitting low(or maybe it was high?) rectified? Talked to someone at victory and they had no idea what I was talking about. Planning to order the strike front bumper soon and while I don’t plan to use the winch often, I’d rather not have to worry about it.
