Bull bars. Well, they catch part of one. Now if you want to really protect the front of a truck buy a RanchHand full front cowcatcher. That bad boy will stop a bull at 70 mph and not flinch…..nor set off your boogeyman baker’s dozen air bags. I’ve seen it so this is not hyperbole. And yes, it did knock the shit out of that bull, less to drag off.
A friend pulled up one morning and I noticed he had a deer head lodged between the pushbar and the center protection. I mentioned it and he was surprised. He said he thought he heard/felt something but never saw anything. Be advised though, they aren’t inexpensive but damned if they don’t work. Probably keeping the airbags from deploying was worth well more than the RanchHand.
For anyone wanting to have something that does the job and is not just looks, give them my email and I’ll build them something that they can be thankful for in a situation, even another vehicle situation.
I had a friend who tried to out RanchHand RanchHand by building his own. It was formidable and when he attached it to the F 150 it just about hit the floor. He rethought the entire idea….since it was already made, and put it on a 4WD 250 Powerstroke. He probably, at some point, had to add a spring or two anyway. But damned if that thing wasn’t indestructible. And that’s where Ranch Hand comes in handy. It’s fairly much indestructible but doesn’t weigh 500 lbs. The best ones replace the bumper. Then you have a bumper for sale.
How many HP does it add?
