I know this is not High Performance, but does anybody out there from TX know who has the best price on Ranch Hand bumpers? Looking to get the full replacement front & rear. Don't mind a little drive to save some $$$. The best price I've found in my state is $ 1,800.00

900 bucks pm for details

 

Well it does depend on the model, I have priced the Bull Nose at the shop down the street from the office and it was around $1000 installed.

The other series were around that some more and some less depending on the options.

 

Don't know if this is in Texas, but the price is pretty good.

liquid off road is in Greenville, Tx

 

I had my front and back bumper replacements installed at B&H Customs in Austin, Texas. Those two items where about $1200 installed. I have pictures in my gallery.

 

Ranch Hand outlet in Houston, i think they quoted me $925.00 installed on a bull nose with a winch mount. just go to Ranchhand.com and it should bring up the site.

 

Be carefull, what you buy! Some manufacturers are making replacement bumpers from thin-walled steel tubing instead of the schedule 40 tubing. These are quite a bit lighter in weight but, probably not nearly as strong.
If you want them just for looks, then, they may be allright. But, if you want them to provide greater protection, you may want to consider the heavier walled products.

Last year, at the SEMA Show, I even saw these bumpers made out of a composite material. A girl, in the display picked up the front-end replacement, by herself. My Brown's Welding front-end replacement weighs in at around 400 lbs. Took 4 guys and a forklift to install it.

I'm not trying to "knock" anyone's product, just letting you guys that are interested know that there are different quality products out there and they all look pretty much the same.

Check this place out, their bumpers and grill guards are the heavy duty ones.

Heavier is NOT always stronger. It is possible to make something light and strong with a proper design.

 

Liquid Off Road - The best deal I have found so far & I've searching everwhere. I'm going with the Legend front replacement & Cowboy rear, wanted the Longhorn rear but not being produced any more. Legend & cowboy are made from 4" S40 pipe (.237" wall). Plan to drive to Greenville and have them installed in the next couple of weeks.

 

I'll second B&H in Austin. I got the north stores first front and rear Ranch Hands. Ranch Hand wanted $900 not installed and John @ B&H sold it to me for $795 installed. Don't really remember how much the rear was, $375 I think with reverse light and I think Ranch Hand wanted like $485.
