With investigating hundreds of Deer/Elk/Black Bear/Horse/Cow/1 Goat and a flock of domestic geese vs. Car/Truck accidents.

Oh, yeah, some place to hang a Warn 16.5 Winch and enough lights to turn the road in front of me from night, to day. For that, the easy pick was a Ranch Hand Bumper CLICKY. While there are many prettier bumpers out there, I would just challenge someone to whether some of these really attractive bumpers provide protection from the aforementioned dangers, or just provide an opportunity to hang lights, winches and an occasional protection from concrete filled yellow steel posts. Your choice, pretty or functional. One doesn't always follow the other.

Thanks, Bryan. Protection is what I'm looking for, too. I always liked your winch bumper, but didn't remember the make. I'm glad you responded. I'll give Ranch Hand a serious look. How much did you pay for yours and did you also purchase the winch through them?
