I trashed a trailblazer yesterday when it ran into my truck, the front end of that trailblazer was not pretty.

Bent and dinged the my rear bumper.

Anyways while waiting on the settlement, I am curious what a new GM rear bumper costs? thinking of using that money for an aftermarket ranch hand bumper.

Got any ideas?

If insureance is involved probably $2000 grand.;)

Oem bumper retails for $500-600. Ranch hand runs about $300.

Tell them you want to settle quickly and will take that money that it will cost to buy a Ranch Hand.. They will gladly pay, or you can hold out and get all the money and do what you wish with it... Depends on your conscience..

If you want to go back with a stocker (perfect shape), I have mine from when I put on an aftermarket one. That is assuming an '02 would fit?

Since you are local to me, wouldn't have to worry about shipping.

When I read the headline I was a little concerned, then I read on......

BMCD ~ how is you neck? What would your neck be like in a couple?

BMCD, I did not consider the accident itself, was thinking more along the lines of your truck. Like ShumDit said, I would have your neck checked out by a local Chiro if you can. Talk to the insurance company about this and tell them you need it. They will understand. Let me know if you need help locating one as I am in the Houston area and can help in those regards. I am a Chiro so I can speak from experience, I have seen some patients that were in 5 mph accidents with major damage, headaches, etc.. It can get worse if untreated... Let me know if you need my help...Good luck

Where can I get a Ranch Hand for $300??

I did have a moment seconds after she hit me were i thought i should jump out and scream! "My Liver! My Liver!" Just did not want to get my work clothes dirty.

Best price i found on the ranch hand was $440 for the 8inch drop. Anyone got a better price?

B&H Customs in Austin was under $400 last year when I priced them.

Apparently Ranch Hand won't sell you an 8inch drop for a HD truck. So i got a cowboy 10inch drop for $430 w/o lights.

We shall see. Pick it up tommorrow.

Yeah, that is about the price they quoted me. Where did you get it? An outlet?

a Local shop in Katy. Gary's Auto. That price does not include installation though.

Can anyone get me an internet address for ranch hand that I could look up some of these bumpers I am thinking of getting a front bumper for my truck from them and also what do ya'll think of an 02 with one of their bumpers. Do they look good? What are your ideas?

They have two different styles, the pipe style and the summit style. The pipe styles are a lot heavier, I believe.

If you want a stock one, I have a like new chrome factory rear bumper off an 05 chevy.
