Deer guard Ranch Hand

Has anyone experience with the Ranch Hand bumper/deer guards?
Excluding the Bullnose style I see three:

Midnight $1700 261 lbs
Legend $700 154 lbs
Summit $1200 217 lbs

Sort of worried about the heavier ones pulling the nose down.

I have the Legend
There a few members on here that have the full replacement bumper
Haven't seen anyone with the bullnose Ranch Hand

 

Your info says you have a 2003 Tundra, the link you posted starts off with 2004

 

I changed my sig line but it’s not showing up. Here;
“2020 Tundra SR5 4WD
purchased Aug 22 2020 but haven't taken delivery yet; it's killing me!”

Can’t figure out how to change the Vehicle!

 

Click on “You” in upper right, scroll down to vehicle one line description, edit and save.

 

I have the middle one
Few others on here have bottom one

 

Think I got it thank you
Maybe it’s not showing up

The Midnight is pricier but lighter
However RH just told me there is a 3mo+ hold on shipping the Midnight b/c they are redesigning that model. They are not recalling warehouse stock but it seems to me the new ones are going to have some thing about them which is ‘better’ so I am a little gunshy of the old version.

Thinking of getting a Summit now.

 

Got a midnight on my 2020. Really like it on my truck. Guess we'll see what RH redesigns.

 

Anyone have the adaptive cruise control?
Apparently all Ranch Hand brush guard models block out the sonic device because it's in the logo (in the center of the grill).
I have not been able to find either solutions nor complaints so I'm guessing no one uses the ACC anyway.
Some say you can punch a hole in that center portion, others are not so sure.

 

You got any pics of trucks with these on? I’m thinking more the arb/hybrid look, but these look like they’d be pretty effective.

 

I’m in the Same boat... I started looking at ranch hand front bumpers to match my rear summit bumper. I saw the midnight and really like it. So I’m now holding off till around the first of the year to pick up one.

 

Here's a couple of pics
The grill guard will work with the cruise control ,but you have to trim the section out in front of it. I know a couple of guys that didn't & are having no issues.

 

I've had several of them on different trucks and suburbans. They are pretty stout, but I've seen two different guys on a ranch I had leased hit deer and take out their radiator... they were Ford F250's though...lol One of them took out a tranny cooler also. Not a good thing in West Texas.

 

Thanks for the pictures!!! That’s just what I want!!!

 

Have the same truck as you and am also about to order the ranchhand midnight. I was wondering if you had any side profile pictures and was interested to see if you are still liking the bumper. Thank you

 

I had one on my '07 Tundra. Really liked it.

 

Good stuff! Pics do no justice, great quality construction!

 

I have the bullnose model like the two pics above. I do think it pulls front end down. I would guess 1”.

 

Went with this one. Heavier than the midnight but tougher for the deer and such. Seen lots of ranch trucks saved from deer strikes using ranch hands out here in west Texas.

 

Of course weight and gravity have effects, then add a little distance from the fulcrum and it worsens. The solution is adjustable coilovers with 700 lb spring rate. Works well and ez to lift more too.

 

I hit the search bar looking for coilovers for my sr5. I installed the Tough country winch bumper brush guard today
It's heavy af. It's what I wanted to protect from deer hits. I hit four deer this year with this companies bumper brush guard on my Silverado. No damage what so ever..

Here's a picture of my bumper it doesn't interfere with the sensor in the grill emblem to my surprise.

Just gotta get some front coilovers now the weight dropped the front end and ⅜ of a inch..

 

Might look into Fat Bob's Garage Vated coilovers. Affordable and holding up well for me.

 

Thanks I'm looking into that now. Never heard of that brand... How would you rate the ride quality compared to stock
The only experience I have ith coilovers is the opposite direction. On lowers cars I've had over the years..

 

I honestly can't compare because I swapped at very low mileage.
