Looks awesome. Whose bumper? After I get my rockers painted, I want to do something like that as well.

Well since this a truck forum....you have a dirty mind.



It's called a frontier. I like it because it doesn't mess with the tow hooks. They stay attached to the frame, unlike the ranch hand.

Very nice. Looks a little sleaker than the Ranch Hands. Is it winch ready?

Whew; good thing we can't get dinged with negative reps anymore.

Agreed with the tow hooks; I use mine and like the fact that they attach to the frame. Very cool.

My Ranchand retains the factory tow hooks attached to the frame.
Might be a difference in models.

Here is mine, nice to see another Frontier! Had mine since truck was new. Been backed into a couple of times.

You still have the tow hooks they are just recessed now but still there.

Thanks Shane. I really like it. I know that was pricey, did you change the rear bumper too? I'm afraid if I ever did that I would be very uncomfortable if both bumpers were not the same.

Looks good, thanks for the pic. Hope you're well.

Looks good Shane... I personally like it better than my Ranch Hand -

My ranch hand retains the tow hooks also... Maybe an older model?

No sir didn't change the rear. With the black step on the rear bumper and the black accents...looks fine. Plus I don't really want a Ranch truck....

Yup maybe older models.

I like the less cover up of the front end, was the main reason for my choice. I just love the beefy nose of these super dutys.

Wonder how it will hold up on hitting a deer or something.

I think that was when he lost a sensor or something.
