    Depends if @BobsonDugnutt has a opinion :)


    But really victory is a great company, veteran owned, make good quality products at a pretty good cost. They started doing more with aluminum now so you can get lighter weight bumpers. I dont think I have ever heard a bad thing about them as a company

    @monkeyevil is our contact from victory

    Has anyone gone with the Victory4x4 bed rack yet? Was checking this product out and think it really stands out from the field, due to the side opening doors on their rack system.

    Thanks for the kudos. Not veteran-owned, but we do fully support our armed forces and first responders :cheers:

    Just released in the last few weeks, so I don't think there are any in the wild of the new Overland Rack. If you have questions just let me know.

    I have been very impressed with the design of the products I have purchased. The aluminum is a great feature and saved a lot of weight. The only issue is none of the weld splatter was removed before it was powder coated and very sharp edges. Ultimately I had to have it re-powder coated after I polished the weld splatter off and buffed all the sharp edges. Great design but poor finish.

    Just got the roof rack on with a Rough Country 40" light bar attached. Still need to work through the wiring for that and two side lights I put on the roof rack. Install was relatively painless. Now starting the Victory bed rack!

    What are your thoughts on the Victory 4x4 bed rack. I'm considering making the move. Have you found the doors to be advantageous?

    Overall, it's a good product and I'm happy with it. The doors are a huge plus and make it a lot easier to get into the bed.

    Pros:
    1. Doors work great
    2. Closes off the bed from two sides, somewhat of a theft deterent, keeps contents of tour bed out of site.
    3. You can easily attach accessories to the doors
    4. Install is pretty painless, lots of extra hardware.

    Cons:
    1. It will put the bottom of your tent coaltitude with the top of your cab, in total, added 7-8 inches height to the truck with the RTT. Parking garages are basically no go, higher center of gravity also not advantageous for tougher trails.
    2. The corner bracket reinforces all cracked. Victory made replacements and shipped them quickly. +1 for customer service, -1 for original design specs being inadequate.

    In hindsight, I stand by the purchase.

    20220827_182739.jpgHere's where the brackets cracked. Make sure they send you the new, thicker corner brackets.

    It appears that you have the doors set up to open downward, and you mentioned that a Pro was good access to the bed? I was going to ask which direction you set yours up and what access was like. My current setup doesn't allow for good access from the sides, so trying to access the bed kind of sux. I'm unable to move things around easily.

    Another Pro you mentioned was the ability to attach accessories. Do you find that adding accessories is a problem for the doors staying closed as your rolling down a trail with obstacles?

    In the pictures you posted the material doesn't look all that solid. So, other than the corner pieces, has everything else held up.
