Any one have a Ranchhand front bumper on their X and would like to share their thoughts on it? Also, please post some pics if you have some.
Thanks
Scott

I have a friend here in town with one on his ex.....I think they are too farm truck looking with the treadplate on them but they seem built really well. I am more partial to the Road Armor bumpers my self as far as looks and off road functionality but it really just depends on what you like.

CHPMustang,
Did you do the install yourself? I know that the RH is heavy and is kinda like putting on a snowplow.
Looks nice  |

The manufacturer/retailer here in Dallas removed the stock bumper & blocker beam to install the new bumper. The new bumper weighs in at 250 lbs which is about the limit I'll put on the V codes

We look toward adding the matching rear bumper next year,perhaps re-powdercoating the front to match the grey rear could be in the works.

I ordered mine up yesterday and it should be here by Friday. I opted for the Ranchhand rover grille guard instead of the full replacement. That also leaves me enough left over to also get the Cowboy model rear bumper. I will post pics of the install this weekend.

Aren't RH bumpers made in China, now? I can't imagine they to be the quality of old. Might try looking into Maverick or some other made in the US. Maverick is made in Lancaster, TX, just S. of Dallas.
