Probably going to get ranch hand replacements front and rear. Legend and cowboy respectively. Never really seen anything else like them. I just wanted to make sure I was not missing anything.

fyi Ranchhand

Thanks y'all

 

Hmm, here are a few that have caught my eye...

Tough Country Bumpers

Hanson Enterprises

Safari Gard

Warn Bumper

 

I have ranchhand, but really like road armor, just too much $$$ for me.

 

Thank you for the replies. I thought the ranch hands were pricey, but after looking at some of the others...

 

yup, to much for me. i just spent enough and am going to put the 05' bumper, grill, and headlights on my 01' limited 4x4 v10

 

I make my own....

Nothing ... but nothing can come as close to "impact" proof. Not for everyone... but they work. I'm a Baja Racer kind ... so it suits my style too.

My OLD '00 Exco had this bumper (I just need to make one now for my '05)

Here it is before powdercoating, bumper fascia, and lights

Here's some of the parts that come off;

The jig saw puzzle... what makes this bumper what it is;

I also have a set of those lights (pictured) and blinkers IN THE BOX at my house... Interested?? PM me... I don't need them as they shipped two on accident.

Sorry to "brag" or show off 'my bumper'... but, I'm pretty excited about it and will be making another one. (I was in business for myself for a while doing this kind of work... during a lay off phase). Enjoy!!!

 

My favorite bumper replacement?
Not having to do so.

 

You might want to check out South Texas Outfitters as they make some really nice front end and rear replacement bumpers.

Another replacement co is Monster Bumpers which is also mfg'd in Texas.
I have one of their bumpers on my vehicle and they did a really nice job. They mfg and install the bumpers on site.

To my knowledge, both of the above companys still Line-x the bumpers as an option.

 

I like south texas the most, but theyre pretty expensive too
