Im trying to make up my mind between the Ranch hand grill guard and Go Ind. Rancher grill gaurd. Anyone have pics to help make up my mind.

 

I had one on my truck (pic) and it was great. I had to loose it though because it wouldn't fit with the new IC. My dad got an 06 and we ordered one for it. Nightmare and a half. Tried for a month with Go and never could get it right. It's on there but I had to make some shims and bend the brackets around to make it so it didn't rub the bumper cover and make noise in the cab from vibrating on the bumper. Now, it shakes going down the road. Just not the same quality as mine was for some reason. He's going to sell it and just buy a TDK bumper like I have now. Grill guards don't hold up to a deer hit anyway. BTW, his truck is a Laramie. They said it would fit the Laramie and Sport but I don't even think it would fit an SLT. Good luck.

 

Ranch hand all the way! Everyone else tries to copy them but not near as heavy or powder coated. just my 2 cents.

 

That's a good point I forgot. The powder coating on the Go Rancher is very thin. I had rust coming through on mine in several places when I off'd it.

 

I agree. If you can afford to get it....go ahead and get the whole replacement from Buckstop, Ranch Hand or Road Armor etc.

Here's a couple pics of my bumper I just shot with my phone. Not the best pics but you get the idea. Supposed to stand up to multiple hits. I don't want to try it out but.....

 

go ranchhand they are nice, but very heavy it took three of us to get it mounted on my truck!
