Can someone indicate what the pricing is on these? The website did not seem to have that info. I like the looks better then the ranch hand.

Thanks

At least you're moving up in the world!

I hit a small deer a month ago which exploded my grill, and bent my bumper back 4 inches. The fiberglass on the bumper was also smashed to hell.

I threw the deer off the road with one hand.

I am picking my truck up tomorrow with the new custom bumper / brush guard. I'll post pics.

You can put winches in them, they work well for pushing bales, you can open gates on a farm or ranch without having to get outta the truck. Other stuff I can't really remember, but they really are useful doing anything on a farm or ranch.

Ding ding ding...:)

Not really a knockoff considering it looks nothing like the ranchhands, and doesn't use a heavy ass piece of pipe.

Just cause it has diamond plate and is painted black don't make it a knockoff....;)

They are made my a company that was formed from employees laid off from another company that made these bumpers... I don't have the bumper part, but what I do have, I know for sure that these things are not light duty... They may or may not be of the same quality has Ranch Hand, but I know that they will take some abuse and retain their integrity.

Here's some pics of my new bumper. Just got the truck back today.

It's custom made by Twinkle Welding in Libby, Montana. I love the look of it - it's not "overbearing" and gaudy. It's kind of simple and goes well with the truck.

WTF... you have one so you tell me. No I haven't done a side by side crash test, but I have seen aftermath pics of incidents and they didn't SEEM to hold up as well. Someone sure has been pissing in your Cheerios lately.
