Guys I just scored a 3 month old Ranchhand brush guard on Craigslist to fit my 07 1500 for $200. I would like to install it myself. Does anyone happen to have the installation instructions they could send me? Thanks! I already "Searched" and couldn't fit anything.

 

Just hold it up to the bumper and match up the holes. Pretty simple...

 

It's not that simple. There are a box of nuts, bolts and about 4 different types of brackets.

 

Call them:
1-800-366-9712
They should be able to send you out the install sheet.

 

I sent them an email already but I was hoping to get lucky and someone on here would have one and that way I could put it on tonight.

 

It is that simple. Figure it out, your not making an A bomb it a brush guard for **** sake...

 

IDK. I remember my Warn guard being a b!tch to put up. Plus the thing was so damn heavy and because I was doing it alone (like usual) I had to use my engine lift to hold the damn thing up so I could mount it and line the bumper up. Mine had a lot of brackets also. There are two flat plates that go through the holes where the tow hooks go, then there were two more long bars that went through the space for the tow hooks and went to the frame. The verticle bars that go through the air damn went to the frame and then there are two more smaller brackets that go from each brush guard and go between the headlight and bumper to something back there. I know mine isnt a Ranchhand (nice score BTW) but maybe this will help. Are you going to add a winch?

 

Thanks for the advice. I took the easy way out and got the guys at the local 4wd shop to install it at lunch for $40. Not a bad deal, $240 for a Ranchhand which costs $575!

I will post pics later!

 

40 bucks is a good deal because about the time you buy a case of beer, find out you need a couple friends and more beer, screw something up need a new bolt or something and get it on 4 hours later....

Yeah its just cheaper to have a shop do it... but no where near as fun....

 

That's an awesome find, and nice deal with the install. When do we get pics?
