Victory 4X4 Visit

Hi everyone; I recently made the decision to install a Victory 4X4 Blitz aluminum bumper on my ORP, to fit a Warn VR Evo 10s winch. I live in southern Ontario, and since I was relatively close to Victory's location in Portage, Michigan, I coordinated some other business and decided to pick up the bumper myself. After we loaded the box containing the bumper, Mitchell offered to give me a tour of their facility. Too cool! Here's a few photos of the place where those great Victory and JCR products come from.


This is my sales guy and tour guide Mitchell.

We bumped into Darryl, anyone considering a Victory purchase will know Darryl as the guy on their YouTube installation videos. He's famous!


We started in the shipping department, where Victory even has their own box machine for making shipping boxes out of sheet cardboard.


Welding! The bumpers and parts are made one at a time by hand. Its great to see high quality manufacturing still thrives in the USA!


I equate Victory with great, clean design, and high quality. This is a good example of a high tech lathe that makes the spindles used for the swing outs on their rear bumpers. They even make the aluminum end caps that seal the bearings and install on the top.


Powder coating! Nice a clean. They use a two step process and bake the coats.


Here's the Victory garage, where they develop their products and prototypes. There's lots of cool projects underway here!


Here's the end of the tour with a recent installation of their rear bumper with two swing outs and a camera relocate on a Pro. There was a discussion on another thread about ladder design, and this is their existing design which i really like. However they are apparently working on another one as well.
The End! Also, I'm just an old toyota guy, and a customer and I am not affiliated with Victory or receiving anything from them other than excellent products and kind and friendly treatment as a customer. Keep up the good work and great products, guys!

 

Thank you for the kind words! Glad you could make the trip, stop by any time!
