Check out the Grille Guard that fits a Raptor. It's from Ranch Hand and costs $739.
Part # BSF09HBL1


SPAM.... actually, it fits the regular F150. When its on a regular F150 the bumper extends past the front end, lol... this is what you get when you have a bumper laying around and try to stick it on something else...


What else ya got Troll? :flipthebird: I have a 2011 Tundra Limited Crew looking for a ranch hand, the kid here tells me it will fit, but the Limited has a full one-piece bumper, not two piece like the SR5 or any of the chrome bumpers.

I told him to go ahead and order it, so when it gets here and he sees it won't work without cutting the OEM bumper, he can eat the shipping and give me my $$ back.

****** me off when you are a customer and you know more than the guys trying to sell it to you. :shooter::shooter:

Ranch Hand makes some good bumpers. I have them on my F350. Here is a pic of the rear bumper and headache rack. I have the full bumper replacement on the front end of the truck.

They are what they are. They are made with ranchers and farmers in mind. They are heavy duty and work. I would never think about putting one on my Raptor. Way too heavy.

see what happens to an already 8700lb truck with a 200+ pound RanchHand on the front?

I didn't mind getting stuck, the mosquitos were bad.... and the funny thing, the guy who pulled me out charged me $100..... on the way back he fell into a hole and flipped his truck up on its side... my 625hp/1000ft lbs of torque (yes, 1000) had to pull his ass back up out of the ditch, two other trucks tried... I got my $$ back, lol..

actually HE started with $400, I told him to go home... 5 minutes later I was out and he had $100.... when he got stuck, I told him I wanted $200..... same deal, he said he would give me my $100 back...lol


OH, and that pic is after we had spent almost 2 hours digging it out with 2 shovels, and countless attempts to pull it out... at one point we had a Chevy 4x4 6.0 pulling another Chevy, trying to pull me.... serious pulling, damn thing didn't move too much.

This is what It looked like after he got behind me and dragged it (I was gonna say got behind me and pulled it out, but I may have distracted a few of you guys up North )

Actually it SELLS for less than $800... that big ass bull-nose Ranch Hand bumper for the front AND rear (installed) was $1100....

The main reason these bumpers from SDHQ and ADD are spendy is 1) you can only get em from them, 2) its one at a time, 3) some use Chromoly materials, 4) Raptor guys seem to have no issue with spending $2,000 for a front bumper, lol... If everyone didn't line up to get the newest thing (iPad 2), they wouldn't cost so much :)

** these are not facts, I had a dream about this answer last night and I wanted to post it up.
