I would like to install a Ranch Hand bump on my truck, but I am concerned about having room to install my winter grill cover. Does anyone in a cold state have one? Can yo install the cover or does it require 5 elbows to do it?

I live in Mass, can you get Ranch Hands bumpers shipped to the NE? Only because I see that the only dealers are in Texas.

Sure. They are on ebay regularly. Shipping is between 100 & 150
They look great and it appear that the reciever is mounted higher that mine. I would hope that would give me a better approach angle.
However, here in Maine I need the winter cover for at least 4 months a year.

I installed Ranch Hand's Bull nose replacement this week. (I'm in Texas) Plenty of room with this bumper.

i think your best bet is to contact drew at DOC fab at DOCfab@comocast.net he has a ranch hand bumber on his truck and am pretty sure he has a winter cover, as we are in md and it gets almost as cold as you guys get.

Why don't you look into the Cloudshield winter covers? I think they're metal pieces that fit inside the grille area, instead of fastening to the bumper. I also understand the factory winter cover is a pain to install when it's cold, not true with the Cloudshield product.
