As do I and it actually doesn't fit too bad. But I really plan on trying out some new styles of hats for future runs before anything. I don't really like the high profile and crown of the snapbacks which is the only reason I don't want to do them again. Going to try to find something lower... hopefully. The next hat design I'm releasing will be a new favorite I am guessing. I'm excited to own one myself. Probably will double down on the quantities for it

I have the same problem with flex fits. I need a m/l and everyone always carries fat head hats lol. If you came out with them in m/l I would probably order one myself.

Yeah, I'm honestly surprised you got rid of that one.

What I've always been curious about... what is that section in the center (With the "V")? It looks like a cover for something? Or just a design feature?

Motor mounts? If so aren't those bushings a little on the small side for that application?

1.5" bushings. It look small because the housing are huge

No. I welded them up this morning and I need to move my jeep in the garage so I can install them. They fit nicely into the spare engine I have on the floor and on the part-out MJ in the driveway

The Vanguard is without question a nicer bumper overall. I honestly don't think it's possible to design a bumper that looks any better than the Vanguard on an XJ, but obviously that is just my opinion. Also, I have a feeling that since Victory is making Yota bumpers now that the XJ bumpers will be dropped entirely. This is just a suspicion, but they aren't listed on the website anymore. I sent a message to Daryl to try to get some scoop on it, but haven't heard back yet. And that rectangle V cover is just removable to allow access to the winch bolts.


EDIT: Just confirmed from Daryl. Victory is Yota only now.
