just a thought, it would probably sell better without that logo.

I am interested in the aluminum bumper
As mentioned earlier here, our off-roading is mainly deep sand and dunes. It needs to handle some bash plate duty and be able to pull the ‘other’ trucks when they’re stuck ;)
Bonus: Can it hold lifting the truck with a hi-lift jack?

I would be interested in a bumper with a hitch mount, I want to mount my winch on a hitch so I can move it front to back and don't have the weight of the hitch permanently up front. Or even just a cost effective hidden hitch mount that gets the hitch area up higher in the bumper than what is currently out there.

Great design. Obviously a 30” light bar will not fit. And I presume you can no longer use a hidden light bar mount like the Rago? Do you think you might offer a bracket to make it work.
Hate to mount my Baja S8 30” on top just due to theft

I really be interested if that light cutout was for a 20" rigid E-series. but you've already shot that option down when I asked about you doing that for me with a steel bumper.

If I ever decide to go that route for some reason, totally aluminum.
I fail to grasp the strength concerns and I wheel in rocks often. If the rocks are so big as to require dragging bumpers as a SoP, then it is Wrangler time. There is nothing substantial one can do about the departure angle anyway. And, as pointed out already, this is a hybrid bumper.
I have 3/16 armor underneath due to said rocks but that's a very different story from the front bumper.
Plus, I am averse to adding weight except where I believe it to be essential (see skids).

This is the same reasoning for me. If i can add a winch and bumper with recovery points with the least amount of weight added up front id be all for it.

Yes, interested. Cannot at all this year due to finances (house purchases, upgrades), but the weight aspect is appealing.
-I hardly off-road, and never have actually due to location, so weight adding as a daily driver is something I want to avoid.
-I am not a fan of the logo, completely understand about product brand display, but something more subtle would be better.
-I like the light bar.
-That bull bar thing or whatever it is called, not a fan of.
-Can that thing be coated in a factory color?

I like the idea of a 1/4-inch aluminum front bumper that is winch-capable.
I would *really* be interested in a full hoop design with stainless mesh screen (all powder coated) to protect from ice chunks, gravel, large flying insects/birds, from getting past the grill.
I would also prefer the the hitch point in the front so that a winch could be easily moved between front and rear, as well as being stowed at home during times when I'm not off-roading. Some kind of nice plate/cover for the front and rear receivers (perhaps put the Victory logo on it) for when the winch is not in use.

Definitely into this. Will be purchasing when you release it. Please consider the no logo offer. It just is so much cleaner. Would even pay an extra $50 for it. Let us know if you will have a group buy with discount for the first batch!

Yes. I like this option.
