    I didn't have the tools needed to do the job myself so I had everything shipped to a very well regarded, experienced and local 4x4 shop who got me squared away. Their comments:

    "Very impressive stuff"... "Well built"... "Nice to see another option (Blitz) like this for the Tundra"... "Top quality"...

    I agree :)

    Blitz bumper + Warn VR10s + Factor 55 ProLink + Warn Epic Shackles + Rigid SR Pro 20" Combo = Me likey

    The bumper requires the control box be relocated. Rather than extend the wires and find somewhere under the hood, they used the same wiring that comes with it, found a spot behind the grill then ran a control lead extension. Pretty slick IMHO.

    I'm running the TRD engine skid and the bumper is not a direct fit with it. The skid had to be trimmed about an inch to clear the bumper. The install otherwise was straight forward and relatively easy.

    20190420_070617.jpg

    The sliders were a different story... this being their first install of these meant that they didn't fully understand what needed to be done and how, especially given the lack of instructions (better instructions were the only suggestion from the guys. Would have saved some time and frustrations on their part, and Victory's tech support time). A few calls to Victory4x4 got them set straight though and once on the right track, they went on just fine.

    20190420_163637.jpg

    All in all I'm thrilled with the improved functionality and form. Good stuff!

    I dig that front bumper. I wonder if they offer it w/o the shackle mounts?

    @brimy311 If so, can there be cutouts in place of those shackle mounts for two additional lights?

    Sliders did their job today out on the trail (had one case where a tight turn around a bolder on the inside bumped 'em). And having the winch gave me confidence to try a pond crossing I probably would have otherwise turned around at (10mi of slow roll in!)

    Thanks! Really digging it.

    Only thing I'm not sold on looks wise is the ProLink. Kinda sticks out like a pacifier :D.

    I put mine on over the weekend. I notice that they had to trim your skid plate. I have an rci skid that I had to trim also.

    As far as getting a bumper w/o shackle mounts, I don’t think they offer it like that because you remove the factory tow hooks, they won’t fit w blitz bumper installed. Unless you bolt them back up backwards

    Waiting on my Blitz to be delivered. Your truck looks awesome with it! What did the bumper/winch install cost you?

    Thank you!

    Hard to break out the costs as it was one bill for all labor (install bumper, modify the TRD skid, light bar+wiring, winch+wiring, and install sliders) but for all they charged me 11 hours. They said they had another 2 hours in the learning curve on the sliders (between trying, calling Victory, trying again, calling Victory back etc) but didn't charge me for that. The 11 hours seemed super reasonable to me, as I think Brian says in his Blitz vid to expect the bumper alone to take about 6 (not including any time for skid mod/light bar/winch/wiring).

    We only offer them as shown on the website. So it's either with a tube or with a tube, bare or powder coated.

    Resurrecting an old topic, but I was looking at the same front bumper too. Did you go with the Hoop or without? I also have the RCI skid, how much did you have to trim and was that hard to do? Any new pics with all installed?
    Thanks
