the difference between the ranch hand and big country is that the ranch hand is all steel welded and will take a hit. The big country is just like a westin or similar that is thin and bolted together. If you want it to actually ****ion then go with the ranch hand.

 

I agree with you

 

ranchhand

 

X3.

 

my vote is for Ranch Hand, I've seen what they can take and it is the only one I would consider.

 

i feel the same way about billet grills...not trying to be a jerk though.

 

the frontier-gear is made by a guy that left ranch hand to work on his own ideas that ranch hand wouldn't let him implement/try.

go to a dealer, they'll show you where the frontier is just a little better built than the ranch hand...and a few bucks less in price.

 

I like this one.

 

That one makes the truck look like a tundra!

 

It does look like a tundra.

 

Looks like its made out of aluminum foil, put that up against the Ranch Hand and it'll get crushed...

 

same here

 

Are those things just for looks, Or do you guys really push cows outta the way on the farm . Just being funny!

 

Best looking guard I *EVER* saw was a Frontier guard that had the mesh cut out on a King Ranch. The entire guard had been Line-X'd Arizona Beige. It was *awesome*.

The Frontier Guards are made by a company founded by former Ranch Hand guys. As I recall, those suckers are one of the more expensive options.


Given that you're in Texas, I would say get the Ranch Hand, because you can resell it on Craigslist in one weekend's time if you get tired of it.

 

Yeah, I think after further research, the Frontier is what I will probably get...too bad the pictures aren't still linked in that thread!
