Did you get that from an old Locomotive :-laf:-laf:-laf:-laf:-laf

 

[SierraRam]

No doubt the score will be Ram-1. Deer-0!

How heavy is that beast?

I was thinking the same thing!!! Where's the Union Pacific stickers on the train engine? :-laf

Looks like it, i see you got you a new 2014 Ram, only paid 500.00 for the bumper, deer and HOGS better look out, Looks heavier than it really is too

 

[JR]

That's a mean lookin' bumper for sure. I bet it weighs around 225-250 pounds. The bumper I put on my truck doesn't have the two horizontal cross pieces in the center, and instead of the angle up top it's all 1" and 2" sch 40 pipe, with similar design on the bumper and it weighs 225.

 

[mfurrh55]

yeah i was figuring around 200#

Company bought it for my new service truck. Your missing the winch that goes in the middle.

 

[mfurrh55]

The winch is still sitting in my shop, i'm trying to decide how i want to mount it, any suggestions?,Monte

 

[RVTRKN]

The only winch I ever mounted was on a Deuce and a half.

 

[mfurrh55]

I've been thinking about installing it behind the bumper, that entails making a frame and cutting a slot in the front and i am up to it, just didn't want to mess up the powdercoat that was done to it, monte

 

[HGreen]

I have a Trail Ready on my Dodge, not quite as massive, everyone teases me that the deer is processed and ready for the freezer by the time I get stopped.

A deer won't stand a chance.

Neither will his front springs,shocks and ball joints!

I run air on the front, besides the grill guard doesn't weigh anymore than you probably

 

[JDamron]

What is it with Texans and their "grill" guards? Ego boaster? According to State Farm, Texas is 39th among the states in deer accidents. At least this one is not one of the styled "damage enhancer" types.

That's because enough people have deer slayers on the front very few actually have to report them
Kinda surprising they're that far down the list, I wonder what Ohio is ranked. I know in my area you gotta have your head on a swivel during rut, but that may not be the case everywhere else.

 

[JDamron]

Ohio is 15th. Number 1 is WVA.

 

[JR]

Having driven through West Virginia many times that is not surprising.

I've had my "top gun" on my 06 CTD 8 yrs w/no problem w/shocks or springs--waiting on my 1st deer or hog or cow or horse or dog or coyote--buffalo might present a problem
