Ranch Hand Owners...

[chicoc48]

Ok, by now I'm sure someone out there has put on a ranch hand bumper or two.
I had my first incident with my truck this weekend, which resulted in a trashed rear bumper and some sheet metal damage. :mad: :mad: :mad: I'm leaning towards some kind of an aftermarket replacement. The ranch hand stuff looks nice, but is hard to find any around this area to look at. I was only planning on doing the rear, since that's all that really got damaged, but I really like the looks of their front "Bullnose". Anyone out there put one on a new HD?
Also- any recommendations on the rear replacement and/or options? It appears that you must order a reciever tube as an option? What about access to the spare?
Can anyone point me towards a dealer that will work with me on shipping to WI? Last of all, what should all this stuff set me back?

Thanks for your time...

I have the Ranch Hand rear "Cowboy" bumper. No problem with access to the spare tire or to the stock receiver tube EXCEPT I had to buy an extended mount for the ball. It that is a problem you just order the bolt-on receiver option. In my case, I only use the 2" receiver hitch to pull a light-weight trailer that I use to go to the dump. The big trailer uses a 5th wheel hitch.

I talked to Joel at Precision Sports, in Oshkosh, WI. this past summer, and he said he was just starting to selling Ranch Hand. At that time, he was starting to order, and at least initially, he didn't plan on ordering a huge inventory.
I have never delt with this business before, so I know nothing more about him or his business.
