Can't go wrong with the Ranch Hands though. It saved my buddy's Tundra from being totalled in a 40 mph collision when the Tundra was parked. It was hit by a Nissan Xterra with a Westin grille guard on it and it hit at like a 45* angle to the headlight driving it back toward the Bpillar. 8K worth of damage to the Tundra - Woulda been totaled otherwise. The xterra was mangled up.

Dang, I like the way the T3 looks. At first glance on the Tundra (what I drive) it looked like the Tough Country bumper.

most people dont believe it when i tell them this but owners of the bumper usually do. a buddy of mine in is 01 f350 hit a guardrail doing 55 mph, the only damage was the powdercoat had flaked off in a handprint sized spot and the guard in front of the headlight was pushed in about 1/4 inch.. the guardrail was messed up but the truck was just fine..
worth the money in the long run, if you ask my opinion. plus i live in deer country and there is nothing better to have on your vehicle than a front end replacement.

I read about some chick that got Tboned by a Ram in her Tundra. Her Tundra is totaled completely. The Ram had a Ranch Hand Grille guard on the front and isn't totaled. The airbags did deploy though but it was a 60 mph wreck. Ridiculous.
Also, the Tundra in the first story was an '06 and in the second it's an 07. Both Ranch Hands in the story are only grille guards, which is what I have on my truck
So far it's been good at pushing dirt when climbing hills and clearing trees.
Pardon the fact that it's a Tundra, but damn that RH is a sexy piece of machinery. I wish I had one on my '98 Expy but I didn't know about 'em until I came to the south.

you can get one like mine, ive hit steel posts, wood posts, deer, cars, and pushed countless things around the ranch here. Not a ding or dent on it, it weights almost 400lbs but it is great.

A local metal fab shop made it, they make all of the ones in my neck of the woods. They make hundreds for all of the meathaners and oil and gas rigs up here they do flat beds too. Its Bollinger Welding in Buffalo WY good luck in finding it on the web. If you are really serious i will dig out the bill and see how much it was and get you the phone number. Those things are nearly indestructible I have seen pickups that have gone end over end, roll side ways and hit everything, I mean everything and only just roll the corners in a little. They are great.
