Rear bumper toast!
Didn't take me long to destory that flimsy rear chrome bumper on my truck. Now need a new and MUCH STRONGER one. If I lived in Texas, I would have a ranch hand on it ASAP, but i'm here in the midwest. Any suggestions?

If you still like the chrome and want something strong, my Luverne bumper has absorbed a van and a drunk lady driving a Rav4. I'd give them a serious look, it may not be as stout as a Ranchand but it is strong and looks really nice.

That's alot considering they run about $400 here I think.
I had their grill guard on my old truck, it was $350 the full frontend replacements were $700. Don't see how a rear bumper could cost that much.

So I wont post a direct link, but....
Goto ranchhand.com click on dealer locations, type in 77304 for the zip, dealer within 10miles.... it'll be the one in Conroe, Tx. Where I got mine.
I may be off on the rear bumpers, but my grill gaurd was $350, full frontend repleacements started at $700(probably the bullnose)
Prices are from about 2 years ago.
::edit to add
There are factory Ranchhand outlet stores around Tx aswell, but I always found their prices alittle higher then the aftermarket shops around town.

I could see a $400 ranch hand rear bumper being $1000 shipped. That sucker weighs every bit of 200 lbs. It's all one person can do to lift one. What yall need to do is find a buddy with a rear ranch hand that wants a stock bumper and do an even swap like I did. $400 bumper for free.
