CBears Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I'm going to be putting a grill guard on my 250 when it gets here. I live in Kansas where deer just hang out in the middle of the road all day every day. ? I'm wanting something that, should I hit one, all I have to do to fix my truck afterward is go to a car wash. My buddy recommended a Ranch Hand Legend with the bumper built in. My brother in law said he's had good luck with his that does not include the front bumper. I'd rather keep the factory front bumper I think. I'm looking for opinions and pictures of current model super duties if anyone has them.

One piece all welded, I talked to a guy that hit 2 deer with his and could not tell, they bolt to the frame in 4 spots and seem very solid. they have them in stainless or black powder coated, after this picture I re adjust it so it followed the body lines better. I also put a rough country 2" leveling kit, and Good year kevlar Adventure tires in 34" and color matched cap.

Very substantial looking. I also like the idea of getting it in stainless steel maybe. Hadn't really thought of that option. Thank you for the reply! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielj Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 This is the bumper I'm going to order for my truck if it ever gets scheduled. It's made by steel craft. And I called steelcraft and they said all the bumpers come with a adapter now to fit the new led style fog lights. I live on the river. So I have deer on my road and backyard often. I've hit a few deer and never needed anything but a car wash. https://www.peacemakerbumpers.com/2017-2022-super-duty.html 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielj Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I would very much like to see a picture of the console display of the front camera from someone that has a bumper already. I want to see how much is obstructed with the added bumper. Even more so if someone has the 360 view! How much does it affect it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure I want to keep the stock bumper though. Thank you for the reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottK1 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I completely disagree with you guys. You want a grille with spits sticking out the front so you don't have to stop and pick it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual use as a deer pusher/splitter? ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottK1 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Plow with spits. Perfect. Not too many deer running through deep snow, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
