I am really struggling with this. Need a brush guard. I love the Ranchhand had one before, strong, look awsome...problem they won't hold a winch. I have looked and a full replacement just ain't worth it for me. with the added weight, price and some of them won't hold a winch either.

Now Warn has the grill guard that will hold a winch but it just looks kind of plain jane to me.

I really like the old saftey net of a Winch but I guess it is not a necessity. Anyone put a Winch on a ranchhand how did you do it. Any help is appreciated.

 

I have the warn kit with the 9.5 XP. excellent winch, pulled a chevy right out of the mud.

ohh yes I will have a warn winch just trying to decide on mounting it that is the problem. I love the ranchhand but won't hold a winch. The ago old question looks or preformance probably have to go with the warn because if I don't get a winch I am sure I will be doomed to get stuck.

 

The warn transformer kit is really nice looking and very solid

 

I also have the Warn Trans4mer and I can say that it is an aweosme set up.

But there is no reason you cant use a winch with a Ranchhand. Order it with a reciever in the front and get a multi mount winch. Problem solved.

 

I THINK the ranchhand is the best looking one , but having the ease of a winch with the warn would be nice! i agree u can probably get the ranchhand with a winch setup! i gite the westin, but that is because mine is 98 and the ranchhand starts with 99 models! i also gite it because of the matching taillight guards! back to subject , go with the better looking RANCHHAND and find a way to put a winch on there!

 

my friend has a ranchhand with a winch, he put his winch where the license plate goes & moved the license plate to the side, its kinda like jmc's, I'll see if i can get some pics for you

 

pics would be appreciated if possible
