how much are they?

I haven't seen anyone on here with one but I live in Salina,KS where they are out of. I have seen a few trucks around town with them and they are SWEEET lookin'. Their big thing is that they use square tube instead of round for the light guards...its stronger. From what I have seen the quality is very high and they are built to order. They will do pretty much whatever you want. As far as prices go they are about the same at most other front bumper replacements and guards are, but not quite as high as Ranchand is. Ranchand are kinda high priced. Hope this helps

i e-mailed them and they said $650.00.

Personally I don't like the way it looks. I prefer to have the middle open for additional lighting.

Here's mine:
(Hoping to get lights soon.)


Cost me about 300 bucks on Amazon and then another 80 or so for the Taillight guards that match.

ive always had frontier-gear on my F150s, and i think they are bettwer designed than ranch hand with respect to front end ergonomics

I have a westin on mine, have no complaints about it

I use Go Rhino! because it's the same brand that we have one the front of our patrol cars. It works great. Mine is all smashed up, but the truck is fine. Without it, my front end would be all smashed up.

Is it for astetics or for function? Reason I ask, when I was in the Army I was stationed with a guy from Texas and he had a homemade guard on his truck, he claimed if you spooked an armadillo on the highway at night they jumped close to headlight high. If that's true, then the screen over the grill could be useful if it's solid enough (never could tell as he was something of a joker). The other thing I can't tell is it looks like the wings around the headlights have a pipe that parallels the bumper but there's a gap between them. If that's true then if someone bumps you in front in that area it may bend that side into your fender.

Just thoughts
