Pics are below, truck(1500 chevy) that hit it was doing 55+ and the driver had to be life flighted. Also collected the three cars that were in front of it... Thats by far the hardest hit I have seen in a while, but if you look the rear ranch hand isn't even bent, it went pritty much all the way through the other truck and pinned the legs of the other driver, they had to cut that truck in half to get her out....

Phuck you. ;) :D

Take a look at the pictures. That's a Ranchhand Bumper.

If you put one on a RC, you would probably exceed the load rating of the truck.;)
 
Ranch hand bumper (n.) - Large metal bumper constructed of 4" pipe and 1/4" diamond plate commonly found on most truck in Texas and most trucks south of 1-10. Used for one of three reasons 1. To protect you vehical from wildlife (cows, hogs, deer) 2. Increased weight for 4x4 (back bumper is 500lbs the front is 450) 3. Taking a hit like this...

I'm sore, but way better off than the other people involved. My dad was driving, I was in the pasenger seat...

Sorry to hear about the accident and hope all are or get well soon.

I have one of those Ranch Hand bumpers on the front of my K1500 short bed. The bumper is thickwall (sch 80 at least) 4" D pipe, 1/4" diamond plate with full grille protection. Most people think twice about pulling out in front of me, once they see that big a$$ bumper staring at them.
 
WOW.... Would not want to be the one who hit that thing. Thats some serious iron...
