I love how you give each brand their fair share of good and bad criticism. Most people are too "brand biased." I think you do a great job of illustrating each brands strengths and weaknesses, not just in this video, but every video. That's why I subscribed.
Mark Monhollen: much appreciated.
Big Truck Big RV no problem! Thanks for the pinned comment and great videos.
Quality videos like this are a joy to watch , seeing craftsmen making something .
Ron Spins: thanks!
He is going to be real happy when he sees his truck. Those guys give a damn about their work! Sure is nice to see in this day and age.
That's one badass grill guard and bumper guard! Looks awesome too!
It looks very nice.
I love it
The exact video I needed to see, l have been thinking about doing this to my Ram 1500 ECO diesel . Thanks for the video.
+ricky safer: no problem
Big Truck Big RV i know u do mostly hd trucks but have or do u plan to review half tons? i would really like to get your impressions of the ecodiesel. maybe a 10k lb trailer on ed vs 10k lb trailer 2500. yes i know 2500 can tow 20k lbs but most people dont pull that much. i have a 10k lb truck and trailer i pull to sled pulls. an ed could be my daily and tow rig. a 2500 sucks so bad on mpg it couldnt be my daily. thanks
Andy Hass: I've actually posted reviews on all 1/2 ton trucks except the Titan and Ecodiesel
Big Truck Big RV well get on it hehe. thanks! titan xd diesel vs eco diesel towing review
With these amounts of protection and quality , I worry about the people who hit the car not worry about my car 😂😂😂
Why all the dislikes? There is nothing to dislike here??!!
Really enyoj how professional, calm and seriously they to their job, no need to show off, the work and quality speeks for itself!
Please forward all these positive comments on your channel to the workshop!
Keep up the good work!!
Greetings from Sweden!
Be Amazed: I will and I agree! thanks!
Be Amazed pretty simple... it's a Mopar, the Ford diehards that follow this channel are the ones piling up the dislikes....
Man they really do an awesome job of installing bumpers. I can't tell you how many crooked bumpers I've seen driving around. I'm definitely driving the 3 hrs just to have them install the bumpers on my next truck.
This video is informative and helped me make a decision on which brand to purchase. I have a 2017 Ram eco diesel and will be getting a Ranch Hand setup.
Thanks for doing this video. I got a 2021 Ram 1500 Quad Cab Big Horn and am thinking about getting one of these bumpers put on it since I seem to be a deer magnet. I’m planning on getting the Midnight Front Bumper W/ Grille Guard specifically because of the fact that I have the front parking sensors on my truck and because I figured I’d give my truck the much added protection it deserves.
looks great
Excellent video as usual. Very impressive camera work and commentary.
Big Truck Big RV, I lived in TX for a few years, and My boss (cousins husband) Had a 2011 F350 right when they came out, and He had a colormatched Ranch Hand bumper installed by the Ford dealership, they are one badass Bumper, and i say that because about 6 months later he had a trailer axle with tire come flying off the trailer in front of him (home made truck axle trailer) and hit that Ranch Hand, and it barely even scuffed the Paint.
This looks amazing! This takes a run of the mill white Big Horn Ram and completely transforms it into a different looking truck. It's crazy how popular these are down south but you almost never see them here in Pittsburgh and when you do it's almost always on a truck owned by and oil and gas company. My only is worry when I do see them they're almost always rusty even on a new truck I think after one winters salt they start to rust. There are also very few Ranch Hand authorized dealers here.
Clean looking truck
Are the parking sensor holes on the bumper custom drilled? I cant find any with the holes already drilled anywhere. Have a 2017 Ram Lone Star 1500 4x4
i really enjoy the quality of videos you put out here, I think their products look great but they don't have anything for my 2016 colorado. hopefully its in the near future
Great video!
Robert Kohut: thanks
what are the two square tubes for? vertical off both sides of the frame? behind the frame ends. snow plow?
How is it replacing the head lights since you have to remove not only the grill but the light fixtures themselves?
Wait, the bumper is model specific and I still have to modify a factory harness?
Nice review
Good job ..
So the holes for sensors on the front replacement had to be drilled, or did they start doing that from the factory? Last I knew they weren't offering that.
HELP PLEASE! I have a 2017 Ram with front and rear sensors and I cannot find this bumper on the Ranch Hand website. I can't imagine that there is much difference between 16 and 17 as far as the bumper. Do you know the PN#? Who are these guys doing the install. The local place here seems kinda sketchy as they told me that they would need to cut the sensors off. Heck, the sensors have a plug!
what are the differences from a 3rd gen 1500 and 4th gens?
i got a 08 3rd gen 1500 and im wanting to get a ranch hand just like this
How did you get the OEM fog lights mounted? Does the bumper come with a bracket? I Bought a used truck with a ranch hand front bumper on it but there is no mounting location for the OEM fog lights.
Ranchhand makes the best after market bumpers
Nice setup..
mr magoo: indeed
Could you let me know what the part number is for the front Summit Bumper with the exact mounts for a ram 1500? It would be greatly appreciated.
why doesnt ranch hand front bumper fit the express model? I have a 2017 ram 1500 express and would love to put a ranch hand on it, but I think I might have to settle for a hammerhead bumper.
Very nice setup. Would've been interesting to see that setup with a toolbox installed! Maybe the owner doesn't need it, but the eye wants something too! :)
How did you get this Ranch Hand to come with pre drilled holes for the parking sensor. On their website it says it is not sensor compatible?
Love these bumper best quality, when they rust just blast and paint em again
awesome video. thanks for putting some together like this and the rest of yours. I love the detail, and level of information. plus, that stuff looked wicked, and durable, on that ram. 1 question though, in another video, you talked about the different series of Ranch hand bumpers, and how they are built, this one looked like either end was based on a square tube; am I right. And in regards to you posting a video about your viewers rides, once a month or so, I think it's a great idea. Keep up the great work, and I know what kind of bumper I'm putting on my next truck.
Blaise Boudreau: thanks! this bumper is 12awg diamond plate to reduce weight. the Legend is Schedule 40 pipe and the Sport is 1/4" steel C channel. all are super tough and overbuilt
So Ranch Hand doesnt do front bumpers for '12 Ram 1500s? None are showing on the site but I'd love to put a summit series on mine
Who drill the holes for the front bumper? Because I have ask and they don't pre-drill the holes.
very nice... need to save up some moolah
not a bad price at all thank you for the info
Russ B.: welcome
Make a video for a 2016 Ford F-150 with the replacement bumpers front & back. Always wanted to see one haha!
Nice
What model front bumper is this?? I cant seem to find one with the cutouts for front sensors!
Is that with stock suspension? If so, have you noticed any slouching on the front end?
I kind of want something like this on my 95 blazer (S10 chassis) but while there are things for the 1998+ model years, there isnt anything specified for the 95, and while for the most part the 90s s10s and blazers were built quite similarly, i dont have a way to check if the mounting is exactly the same, i have a feeling it is, but i dont want to spend all that money only to find out that it wont work
Will the ranch hand summit series fit on a 2012 Ram 1500?
I wish these bumpers would come in more colors than black. A big chrome bumper would look fantastic.
Once again only you could get me to watch a Ram video :)
TShull: haha. seems to be a common occurrence now :)
Looked really nice with the new bumpers! Man interesting on how thin those boxed frames looks.
TShull: now go out and check out your frame and I'll put a smile on your face. even the front boxed section is 1/4".
Do they take the factory bumper as trade in or does the owner need to find a home for it? As always a great video.
I work at ranch hand!! 😂
for the new equipment being installed has anyone thought of getting them sprayed with a line ex type coating? I think they would be rust free for a much greater time for people in northern climates.
Does it make the front end rake any more than factory?
Great video 📹 do you happen to know shops like this in Houston that you couls recommend?
U know I didn’t think I was going to like it. But I kinda do. The front around the lights seam kinda bulky but it’s probably me just never seeing a half ton like that. Kinda disturbing how thin the metal is on the rear and front. That back end mounts up to the trailer hitch and I know ours twists with the travel trailer hooked up so my bumper moves too. Wonder how the truck and bumper will hold up in a collision
What is the height of the level or lift on the truck
Before and after measurements would be great on the front and rear fenders to see how much the truck dropped with the added weight.
Chubby672: I'll check, but I don't think I dropped at all. I have before measurements, just not after.
hope that someday I can't afford to buy that bumper for front and rear as of right now the funds are not there, but I will buy one someday. thank you for the video. Thank you.
mark ruby: hope you entered the Ranch Hand sweepstakes
Big Truck Big RV. how do I enter???
What about the big gaps left at each corner in the front under the headlights. The factory bumper is molded to fit that and this one leaves a huge gap for wind and anything else to get in and wrecj havoc on all the internals.
Nathan Wedrick: notice the Ranch Hand fills those gaps. look closely
What diameter are the parking sensor holes?
So the rear bumper just uses factory bolts and such?
What size lift and tires did this guy have?
Does ranch hand make bumpers for jeeps????? I dont think they do but im not sure.
BDH: they do. they look awesome also. check out their site
I’m getting a ranchhand for my 2015 Silverado, thankfully I don’t have any parking sensors to mess with😂
I want to know why ranch hand won't make winch bumpers for 1500 trucks
How heavy is this bumper?
Slick bumper and Tires on the truck. Any chance you know the size on those tires? Thanks
Cruhcifix I can can tell you those are the factory 20" wheels. However, I'm unsure if those tires are larger than stock. They appear to be.
I'd guess they're 33's. Suspension doesn't appear to be altered, although I could be wrong.
+Supa Doopa: 275/65/20
I wish they made the front / rear bumpers for the midsize trucks, primarily the Colorado / Canyon. I just love the look of these full steel bumpers but Ranch hand doesnt make one unfortunately (at least they dont have one on their website) :(
It looks like the bumper is essentially tougher than the frame that's supporting it.
Well this is what I have been waiting for. I'm glad I went with the summit for my 3/4 ton. It's clean and looks natural. May have to order a light bar now too cause that looks great.
I have a concern on the wiring harness for the parking sensors. I am not sure my installer has had to do that before so I'll have to call Monday and say HEY MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT MATERIALS. Last thing I want is for it not to work.
Great video.
PS. Do you know if Ranch hand makes a rear bumper that accommodates aftermarket hitches? I have a Curt class V+ and it's defiantly more beefy than my original hitch.
+C Nevs: great! I believe most of their bumpers allow for the factory hitch to remain.
We just drilled holes exactly where you all did an seansors are still beeping help please what can we do to make them stop??? Same exact year make an model 2016 dodge ram 1500????
Did u cut your harness? If so, you messed up the impedance of the wire. You'll have to do the math and repair the harness to match the OEM wire impedance
Thank you so much ya'll guys are awesome I will try that basically same size wire has to be used correct ?
How is this compared to reunal ?
Rick.Mary Arkansas Van Buren, Where is this place at what city or town!!
Bumper is massive lol
What are those vertical pieces of square tubing on the front of the frame for?
Darpan: jack points
But I dont have sensors as I have 1500 express
are these bumpers just for appearance or are they really used for something ... but they sure look good on trucks
F-150 KING OF TRUCKS: they come in very handy on ranch roads. Lots of deer strikes around here.
Looks Great..... The shop guys seem friendly too, that goes a long way. ( asshole merchants loose business )
Those bumpers look nice, much better then many on the market.
The light duty truck is fine as a car, its not must more then that.
The RAM trucks rate very poorly in the crash tests, the front wheel crushes into the seat (O.o) Sheet metal delaminates too!
Does the f250 has the same frame thickness as of that f350 on the video?
Carlos Quirindongo: no, the 2017 Super Duty Pickup is far thinner.
Wish they made one for my 2018 tundra. They said they will not be making one for the tundras because of the active cruise control even tho they list “2018”. So I guess no ranch hand protection from deer for me.
a total price with installation would be great
+Russ B.: About $1800 total (front and rear including install)
Big Truck Big RV great price
Do you guys sell and install for this price?
The exhaust is when you get the v8 it's straight. If you have the v6 it's curved behind the rear tire
OJ1209 Hobs not true. I have a 5.7 with the exhaust near the tire
If that was my truck, the added bumpers would be LineX coated in white! Then they would not be so huge looking! Or even just an off white powder coating.
Definitely a Very sexy setup!
Does a big bumper like that change fuel economy drastically
Wow! Lots of little bits and pieces under there which are not on the older trucks! No wonder they cost so much to repair after minor crashes. That frame rail comparison was a pretty good demonstration of why heavy duty trucks weigh so much more and carry so much more than half tonners! They may look a lot alike, but are not even close under the skin. How many of the viewers caught all the details on that 1500 to make it play nice when it crashes into a car or minivan or baby SUV and match up with their crash structures so as to reduce injuries? Does the design of your bumpers meet compatibility standards for automotive crash standards? I did not see the under ride protection structure on your bumpers. Is it there?
That's one horny looking Ram. The combination of the white paintwork, and those lovely new bumpers look absolutely awesome. Love it.
Matthew Godwin: I agree.
I would really like some ranch hand bumpers for my truck but I can't seem to find a dealer within Canada. Importanting them would just be to expensive.
I guess I'll have to settle for some shitty overpriced and underbuilt road armour bumpers...
at 6:00 you can see the crumple Zone in the frame I wonder how that's going to like all the weight of the bumper hanging off of it
+fuzzy wuzzy: front impacts subject thousands of PSI towards those crumple zones. The bumper should not cause them to fail, if that's ur concern
Hey you guys wouldn't happen to know what kind of tires those are? Or anyone here in the comments, I'd like to know cause I need new tires soon and I'm shopping around lol
Is it made to mount a winch?
Bacon Nator unfortunately no it's not. There are other ranch hands that are.
Nice big heavy duty bumper! Holy crap 💩If that's a lighter duty for a 1/2 ton what is the weight difference between a bumper for a heavy duty truck? Besides ranch duty why would you want something that heavy on the front? The bumper itself I get but, why all the heavy brush guard structure?
What happens to the old but good bumpers?
Carl Scott Amos: owner decides
I got barracuda rear step bumper
Maybe I missed it, but are you gonna have a video for that Chevy?
Parker Jessen: yep, truck is on order specifically for this build.
Big Truck Big RV thanks for the reply, really enjoyed this video!!!
Parker Jessen: no problem
I’ll purchase that white front bumper cover if you want to sell.
to bad they don't make bumpers for ford rangers / mazda b-series...
The frame on my 1991 Ford Ranger is thicker than the frame on that 2016 Ram 1500... I will stick to buying and refurbishing classic trucks for my uses lol
FireFighter#47 do you think the alloys are the same? 😂
I don't like how the rear frame by tow hitch on the RAM i wouldn't trust that curved bar
Nothing negative, but i really never liked the ranch hand bumpers they seemed a bit to plane or boring. Really just more cosmetic issue for me then anynthing else. Great video thanks big trucks. And by they way bug truck can you do some more videos on some ram mega cab cummins please.
The rear bumper doesn't match the body lines at all a little more time on the design would go a long way!
