What kind of things do you guys use the fold down table for? Not sure I’d use it too much
Any thoughts on making an aluminum version for those of us that are not going to bash it hard, but want the utility. Maybe keeping the factory hitch to save cost and development time?
Be great to knock the weight down as much as your aluminum Blitz bumper did. Realizing it would cost more. Only one aluminum bumper out there as far as I know and researching rear bumpers aluminum comes up regularly.
still trying to confirm how this will play out with a c4 ladder installed.
does anyone know?
also, I will be using 315/70r/17 ko2's. based on the photos above it looks like theres about an inch(?) of gap between the 265's and the jerry cans.
will the 315's even fit?
is there some type of adjustability sideways of the jerry can holder?
thanks
Is there a licence plate mount solution available for those who may only want to use one adventure carrier but use it with the dual jerry can carrier instead of the tire carrier or at least retain that flexibility of swapping out the mounts?
We do not have a separate license plate mount for that case, but you should be able to mount the outer portion to of the license plate mount to the top CB hole on the carrier.
Thank you. Do you guys do installations? I just moved to the Chicagoland area and wouldn't mind making the trip later this year to get it installed.
Is there any possibility to relocate the back-up camera somewhere other than the middle of the tire? Alternately, would a 33" tire on a pass side single swing-out obstruct the factory camera location on a 2008 Limited (toward the left end of the rear gate handle area)?
I'm planning to hang a trasharoo or similar bag on my tire, which would obstruct the camera in that location.
Separately, would the light cube openings in this bumper accommodate surface-mount pods as well as the bracket-mounted cubes shown on the v4x4 website?

made a custom bracket with some home depot steel and a drill press & 2 cycle engine oil. it also puts the camera in damn near the stock location.
Bought another company's license plate mount, but could have made my own.
I also flipped the bolts and used weld nuts so it would not rub in the gas can. my switch them out for rivet nuts.
I figure with rivnuts and a good drill, I can mount the plate almost anywhere I need to. Still haven't decided if I'm going to get a driver side swing-out or just stick with the pass side only for the tire, since I'mnot sure if overlanding is in my near future and most trail runs can be done without much need for extra gas if you don't head out low (nice thing about the modular design, I can add on if I need it). Suppose I can always wire in an after-market camera instead of the factory unit if I have to, since the runner I'm buying has it displaying on an aftermarket HU screen anyway. I do need to find out if the HU can run 2 cameras since a spotting camera up front is a good idea for crawling in a vehicle I'm not yet used to.
I currently have my spare 285/70/17 MT under the back of my 4runner and rather like the set up for now. I am thinking I want to run this bumper with no swing outs and still keep that spare under the back. Anyone have any idea how this bumper impacts room for a spare tire underneath? Pictures of underneath with our without a spare underneath would be helpful.
The spare will still fit in its factory location. You will probably have a little more tire visible from the rear because the Victory bumper is cut higher. I don't have pictures at the moment but could get some later today when I get home from work. The will just be open space pictures, though, as I removed all of my spare tire mounting system.

The bumper doesn't change the amount of room you have for the spare. You will still be able to fit your 285/70/17 underneath :thumb3:
Awesome! Thanks for the response! Has it ever been confirmed that the bumper works with a gobi ladder?
