Front Bumper Research

several of those companies arent in business anymore, and many new products have been released. Way out of date.

 

That’s why I included a disclaimer. The boutique aftermarket is ever changing. You are welcome to clone that thread with updated info.

 

Kinda what i did, but for a specific type. Thanks for allowing me the freedom to do so.

 

Sorry for wasting your time. Wtf?

 

I'm thinking pretty seriously about the Victory Blitz bumper in Aluminum and a set of their rock sliders. Wondering if bed liner as a finish would be better/more durable than powdercoat.

 

If you get aluminum, you don't need to worry about rust obviously and i would bet that bed liner would be easier to touch up. I think it would scratch off with some decent pressure.
I bed lined the wife's skid on her 4 runner which is aluminum, and its held up very well but she doesn't off road. I just put that on there because i got tired of dropping the stock plate for oil changes.
just from road debris, and gravel roads, its held up fine.

 

Personally I’m shopping for the same. I love this option from icon vehicle dynamics:

Can’t seem to find anyone else that has pictures of it on their vehicle. I’m going for a low profile look also

 

No experience yet, but I have one on order. I'll be putting an apex badlands 12k synthetic winch in it.

I have the sso roof rack for about a month or so. I dig their stuff. Long lead times though.

 

The only complaint i can see that most people would have is there are no recovery points on that one. It looks nice though if you're going for a more streamlined look.

 

Anyone have the Victory 4x4 aluminum model? Wondering how their powdercoat holds up over time. Pricey option, but I like the stealth look, minimum modification to OE, and lighter weight added to the front end.

 

most minimal i could find. bought it. Greenlane offroad

 

@fishhead90 & @seang

I recently purchased and installed the Icon Impact Bumper and it's been great so far and like you mentioned, it doesn't have any front mounting points (which funny enough was one of the attractive features for me i.e. clean OEM look), but I ended up modifying one of the gussets so i could reinstall my Relentless Fab passenger recovery point

 

Very nice, good work!

 

You should come up to new england area I've seen guys driving around with plows on in july... practice maybe?
