Legend Grille Guard 
The original icon of the vehicle-protection industry, Ranch Hand’s Legend grille guard earned its name for good reason.

These front-end defenders feature custom-punched grille inserts to match a vehicle’s OEM style, offering invaluable yet affordable protection. Learn more by watching the video below: 

Midnight Front Bumper with Grille Guard 
The hand-forged Midnight front bumper is Ranch Hand’s lightest and most customizable front bumper to date, weighing only about 175 lb and providing a stylish base for light bars and pods, a winch, personalized inserts, and more. And because it’s from Ranch Hand, the Midnight is built to take a hit, born from 3/16” thick steel in a sleek, aggressive, and tight-fitting profile. Learn more by watching the video below: 

Running Steps 
Taking toughness cues from the company’s front and back protection products, Ranch Hand Running Steps bring strength, resilience, and utility to lifted and stock vehicles. Made from 3” diameter tubing secured with 3/16” brackets, Ranch Hand Running Steps install with no drilling. Their 1 1/2” drop-down tubes hold 4” wide, 12-gauge punch plates that are the perfect platform to gather footing and step into the cab. Available with four or six steps (for bed access).

MultiPro™/Multi-Flex™ Tailgate Sensor

QuickPin™ No-Latch Coupler
A traditional coupler latch is a hassle to use—so the QuickPin™ coupler doesn’t have one!
