I dont really like the looks of the Ranchhand.

Ive looked at the Ranch hand, Trail Ready, Arb, alien, road armour, HERD, UTE, but they either dont have what I want, or are priced way too high.

Hoping someone else had one, to know how it worked for them. Some hang too low, or are way too long.

Send a telegram to China and thank em for the high cost of steel when you get a chance. I priced out the steel in my Ranch hand some months back and taking into consideration that I have to buy everything in 20 lengths unless you get lucky and the yard has some cutoffs layin around, it's not much more to buy the bumper then it is to build it. The price of steel is insane and only gettin worse.

I wanna make me some new nerf bars, but I've been puttin it off cause i'm scared of what the material is gonna cost. I'm want to use 2" X 3" X 3/8" Box channel. I bought some of this a year ago for around $3 a ft. I know I'm gonna be over $5 per ft this time, just don't know how much over.
