Yep, it always makes me laugh when people say they put one of those on for deer protection… All they are good for is small brush at low speed. A lot of times the deer pushes the brush guard into more of the truck then it would have hurt to begin with. Hood/fenders/etc.

They have a little more value besides small brush.



Right front main vertical had a lot of deer hair and blood on it t bumper we didn't see in the dark being black. Noticed it later So it looks like it saved the right middle of my truck...but it sure didn't save that bottom corner.



F350 hit a pig near Stamford with a little ripple in the front of that same vertical piece on a Ranchhand. That same Ranchhand brushguard did not win the battle against the gas station concrete post I ran over at the end of the concrete walkway after being parked. The cross member had a nice U in it.....but it saved everything behind that cross bar.

They definitely lessen damage, but 9 times out of 10, it’s still a deductible.

I believe in the full replacement.

I hit a round bale doing about 60, a buzzard doing....a lot[emoji15], and numerous pigs. The buzzard was quite an impact, and mess.

Of course ... we all do. But I was always of the thinking think it’s too much on a half ton. ... glad to see they are making them lighter these days..

If the bale didn’t fall off a trailer.....I’d love to hear that story.

Ranch hand makes the Summit series that are a little lighter gauge steel but still full replacement. I believe it would do away with that ferring thing that hangs off below the stock bumper too.

Curious how that lighter gauge steel handles a 70-150 lb deer at 70 mph. Because if its just a less bent, more expensive front bumper, then it sounds like I'm wasting my time.
