You gonna fill that one with cement too? :)
Who makes that? Got it on yet? Pics on the truck?
Na this one is already too heavy. I got the Ranch Hands front and rear but wasn't satisfied with the lower lip and corner reinforcement. I had a buddy box out the bottom lip with angle iron and box out the corners with 1/8" steel plate and run roll bar tubing from the corner to the main part of the bumper. Then I sprayed the back with Wurth undercoating. I still have to spray the front to match the blacked out grill and bezel. It's taking forever due to the two other projects I'm trying to finish. As soon as everything is done I'll post pics.

I looked at the Ranchand stuff and it's anything but ranch-worthy in my opinion. It's pretty wimpy for what I need...
I want to be able to schmuck a moose at 70 and not even have to hit the brakes... :)
Is yours a lot stouter now?
I looked into a few bumper companies before I bought the Ranch Hands. I liked the looks of the bumper since I wanted a pre-runner style bumper, not a screen door. I also like the receiver up front so I don't have to lug around a winch if I don't need to. Finally the price seemed very reasonable for the product compared to alot of other companies. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of bracing on the bottom and corners. This was easily remedied by some steel stock and a mig welder, no biggie. As far as hitting a moose at 70, good luck. If there is a bumper on the market that can honestly do that and survive I want to see pictures.

Is that the "bullnose" model?
Is that the "bullnose" model?
yeah. The Legend and Summit series have full grille-guards.
