I want either a ranch hand or something new for my front end.

Ideas are welcomed..

heres a pic of my truck right now.

 

A Ranch hand?

 

I say go for it. I just got one for mine and I think it looks great.

 

Don't do it...

 

Like a full bumper replacement? or just the guard?

 

Get a full bumper replacement. You keep your tow hooks

 

i vote painted mirror caps instead

 

The ranch hand grille guard actually allows you to keep the tow hooks. I wouldn't go with the full bumper replacement because of the weight.

 

do the grille guard, Then later on you can fab up some light tabs and mount the lights on

 

Well I am talking more like just the guard it self... Ugacoop16's grille guard looks good in my opinion. I am thinking of doing my lights just like how he did his.. and then start saving for a lift and gears is my next goal

 

I mounted these this past weekend. I just cut a 6" diameter into the grill then welded a piece of 3"x1" metal to the bar that runs across and drilled some holes in the metal and mounted them.
Do yall know anybody else with this setup?

 

Looks great man, thats exactly what im looking for, where did you buy your grille guard?

 

dude go with the guard....i do not regret buying mine at all...and it being one big welded piece....bitch is stout.

now the thing with ranch hand is you have to find a dealer, but seeing you live in texas that should not be an issue for you. if you go to their website you can enter your zip and it will show you the closest dealers. now me on the other hand, i had to drive 3 hours to get mine, but idc....im glad i did. its already saved my *** from dodging deer.

 

Mine was on my truck when I bought it and I wouldnt dream of removing it.

 

How much does that bad boy weigh? I have painted bumpers on the Lariat and I am about fed up with inconsiderate people parking retarded.....
