    It's probably a nice bumper and if you really want it, get it. I just wanted to make you aware of why Victory is not mentioned a lot anymore. RCI still has a decent rep here.

    Thank you. I’m also looking at C4 which looks very similar to RCI and Victory. Seems like everyone and their grandma has C4, which probably is a good thing, lol!

    ADD Stealthfighter is another but not sure about the style of that one yet.

    Give me a few and I can upload some photos from my last trip to Big Bend Ranch State Park. Bumper did great and took a hit or two on some rocks. Approach angle is great

    I have the Victory Blitz (their middle section bumper that mounts up to stock bumper) and its okay, there are some issues with it but I like it for what it is. That said, I'll be going after this RCI full front when I can justify it. I like that their bullbar works with the non Pro grille. Most like C4, force you to the Pro grille since their bullbar interferes with the location of the sensor in the non-pro grille. And since I don't want to drop another ~$800 for the grille and sensor cover that leaves RCI unless I drop the bullbar but I like having it and how it looks.

    I already have the Pro Grill so I would have to go C4 if I get a bull bar. Decisions, decisions….

    I am about to pull the trigger on this bumper, the only thing that concerns me is there looks to be no way to open/close the clutch for the winch.. Can you reach under or around to get access to the winch?
