Second Hand Ranch Hand
Just bought a Ranch Hand brush guard for $200. Was nice and straight, no rust, and solid as hell. Down side is that it wasn't for the exact model. So since I don't have a welder to modify it, which cost me another $350. I still think i made out on this deal. Since i can't post pics yet, the pic is posted in my garage.

Looks great! Ranch Hand's are the best. We use them on all of our ranch trucks and nothing holds up like they do and we punish them. Even at $550 I think you got a good deal. New it would be at least $700 and that is without installation. They are all that anybody uses in West Texas. A lot of bump gates in this area and without a Ranch Hand grill guard our trucks would always be in the shop. Tried others but nothing compares.

Where in west Texas? I am in the boot heel of New Mexico, and all the ranchers here have the full replacement Ranch Hands. I see a few of the Top Gun bumpers, but Ranch Hand is dominate. Still have to add the 2 6" off road lights yet for the dark nights around here. Then going to work on getting the lower body line either sprayed with bed liner or try the Bed Armour. Once that gets done will post pics. Here is another question, has anyone seen a clean install with a weather proof box to clean up the look of the block heater plug?

I got a boat plug cover from Englund Marine in Newport OR.
mounted it on a 1/4 inch thick peice of aluminium milled and drilled to fit over the recovery hook.
I got the Idea on one of these fourms bot it was older and the guys drilled holes in their bumpers.
You could just put a big gusset on one of the inside corners and mount somthing like that.
