Howdy all. I'm looking to buy Ranch Hand replacement bumpers, but am on a tight budget. I'm wondering if anybody knows the best (cheapest) place in TX to buy them. I called a place here in Abilene and they wanted $795 for the front bumper (plus $45 to install it) and $450 for the rear bumper. I travel around the state a lot and would get it someplace else if the price was right. So...let me know what you know. Thanks!

 

I have had good dealings with each of these locations.
My favorite is Yah-Te-Hay

from what I had to go through to get one up here I would pay anything under 1K to the first guy that had it, I had a bumper made by the perry co called the roughneck and sold it well much to my dismay it took 5 months to get a new one. and now I am bummed as the roughneck was way better built then my new ranchhand....oh well lesson learned

 

there is a local guy in corsicana,tx who has a tire and wheel shop in town. he has his own line of bumpers made by a fab shop,but they are very similar to the ranch hand. its called warren' s tire and wheel

 

Not quite ranchhands

But in laredo, many whole salers pass by and sell them for cheap.. ive seen full replacements for 325 dollars not painted or anything (fronts) and rears as low as 175 dollars in the same conditions..

Being on a tight budget, I'd go for a different brand than Ranchhand. There are a dozen other brands that are close to or equal quality, and some are half the price. I have a Frontier front end replacement on mine. It's a little lighter, but it was more than half the price of a ranchhand when I bought it a few years ago. It's bounced 2 deer off so far and not even a scratch in the paint.

 

Good point. Photos/links?

 

There is a place out of Ballinger, I think, that makes some nice bumpers for not too much cash. If you pass through there, maybe you can track them down.

You could pm dodgebowhunter. He got a factory 2nd somewhere at a great price. I cant see where it is a 2nd , but the price is knocked way down.

I agree... so many better bumpers than ranchhand at a lesser price. The company in ballinger does make some nice stuff, thats where my frontend replacement came from. And I am kinda partial to South West Fabricators products, I think they make the best rear bumpers. I know a good place to buy bumpers in Burnet, and one in Levelland if you ever go through one of those towns.

 

Phil,
Check out "12valves" Mexican bumper in the pics here... https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...ad.php?t=82875
It's personal preference, I know, but they look "mean" to me!
Sold by Western Depot in Seminole.
