    Hey Ya'll,

    I recently installed an aluminum Victory 4X4 Blitz Front Bumper W/Tubework along with a light bar and Warn VR Evo 10K winch. For anyone wondering if the optional "Tubework" bull bar atop the bumper interferes with the truck's front-facing sensors mounted in the grill: it does not on my 2022 Tacoma DC OR Manual. Everything has functioned normally after 1,100 miles of testing.

    It's a very nicely engineered and manufactured bumper. Install took an afternoon, and it fits the bill for my truck's usage.

    Hope this helps folks considering pulling the trigger on one of these fine bolt-on bumpers.

    Cheers!
    Danno

    It is a good looking bumper.

    When you say “bolt on bumper,” do you mean you didn’t cut anything and it bolts on over top of the existing truck parts?

    I sorta like the idea of this bumper but really, if I was putting on an aftermarket bumper, it would be to reduce the massive chin in the front, not add more inches sticking out. I would look more closely at SSO or Greenlane for a slimmer option I think. I do see a nice draw for some though with it being low cut and pretty easily reversible to stock

    You have to cut one piece of trim. But it's a minor cut that can be replaced if you decide to go back to stock. I went with this bumper also because you don't need to hack apart the front of your truck to install it. If you're really interested you can go to their website and they have a very good install video that will show you exactly what you need to do.

    Thanks for the info, and to be honest I didn’t think about checking out their website.

    My main thought was during a hard pull, does the bumper deflect any? It seems like the pull would be trying to pivot the bumper downward since the pull force is from above the mounting spot.
