Bumper is the Ranch Hand Sport Winch mount. Winch is the Warn Heavyweight M12000.

Bumper is 344lbs and winch another 130lbs.

nice upgrade.


Did you hook up the power to the passenger battery? That is where I put mine.

Looks good. Do the bars in front of the lights effect the beam of the light (throwing a shadow)?

Thanks! They hooked the power to the driver side battery. This was confusing to me because I was always told to run it to the passenger side (like I did on my previous truck). They said that Warn specifically instructs that on Ford Super Duty trucks with dual batteries, it should be wired to the driver side. Crazy even considering it would have been easier to run it to the passenger side since that's closer to the kill switch I had them install.

We are good down here in Texas... Parking spaces are designed for stupidly large trucks with cattle catchers.

No sir. The headlight output is good, even though they aimed my fog lights all over the place. Need to fix that.

How much was the set up without the winch? I have been on the fence about buying the same brand. Also do you think there will be a significant loss in MPG with the added weight?

Those things don't weigh as much as you would think. I had the heavier duty ranch hand on my last truck and even that was lighter than I imagined. I've got a road armor front bumper now and the weight isn't enough to notice any difference in fuel economy.

Removing the plastic wind guard under the bumper likely has a greater impact on fuel economy than the weight of the bumper does.

How is the light out of reusing the factory fog lights? Could led lights be fitted?

On the rear, what type of lights come with the bumper, the bigger oval ones? Also how well do the reverse sensors fit?

I am looking at Ranch Hand for my truck

Thanks
