I was just looking at some Take3 bumpers in Brenham today. $750 for the "ranch style." Nice bumper.

Thanks, if anyone even has a bought one I would like to see pics of them also!!!
Thanks, I did not do a grille guard because a buddy of mine has a bumper with a grill guard and it is a PITA to work on his truck with it on there. I never weighed it but it's a two man bumper to install. The pipe is schedule 80 thick wall and the diamond plate is 3/16 inch

Very nice plowhand. That bumper looks very simple but effective. It looks like you could probly stand it to service the old girl.
Thanks, I built it so that I could stand on it to do service. It has come in handy, especially out in the fields when I had to do some repairs on her.

WAG, Wild A## Guess. I looked at some other bumpers that I like and took some measurements and then used some 1/4 rod and bent it until I liked the shape and then transfferred that to the pipe and cut it and test fitted and trimmed until it was like I wanted it. If you just have to have it I can try and get an angle gauge and get you an angle measurement.

dang plowhand, that looks really good, but i do like the looks of the brush guard with the pipe bumper also. my buddy roy just got a ranch hand full replacement not long ago off craigslist austin for like $150. the bottom bar was bent, but that was an easy fix for us.. i would build one like plowhands, then find a ranch hand bolt on brush gaurd and build that onto the pipe bumper to make a ranch hand style bumper. i have always liked the look of the ranch hand bumpers on the obs trucks.
