Ranch Hand Grille Guard

[Green monster]

I'm looking to purchase a Ranch Hand Grille Guard for My Hoe ( got in an accident and insurance is fixing it but factory grille guard is discontinued). The problem is I dont know if it will work. My Hoe is a 2000 Z71 OBS with fog lights in center of bumper and dont know if i can mount it to my truck.

It should work, the ones I've seen mount through the tow hook holes just like the one in your pictures. You might even look into the "take 3" one since it's a couple hundred cheaper than the ranch hand and every bit as hefty.

I see ur taking my advice It will work, my kuz had a 2000 obs z71 after he totalled a smaller car with his stock brush guard he replaced it with a ranch hand. I'll try to find a pic of it..

Heres the only one I could find

Now the fun is trying to find a dealer up here in Canada, Never heard of Take 3 grille guards.

Now I wish someone would ruin my front end. Any grille guard get should be better than the cheap GM gard you had.

Wicked want to sell me yours?...lol I love the look of the factory grille guard and it basicly saved the truck.

Sorry but I had to cut the bottom were it bolts to the frame because of the body lift. The only thing holding it up is the two front screws. Still need to fabricate brackets, but since its light weight its fine like that right now.

Well Now I getting fustrated, Can't find a Canadian dealer for the Ranch hand grille Guard. Insurance is giving me a hard time, they don't want to pay because GM discontinued factory grille guard . Who else makes a decent Grille Guard that will fit a Z71 bumper?

 

[destroyer1362]

Westin maybe? Whats the deal with fitment? I know the bumper has fog light cut outs, but I don't see any issues with that. Heres a pic of a Westin btw (yes it comes in black):

The Westin is a good product, but I also like the Go Industries one. The only official distributor of Ranch Hand bumpers in Canada are these guys, but I don't know how close they are to you.

Thanks hotrod. I gonna be calling tomorrow. I checked out Westin web site and found 1 I like than tried to get part #. The website had note This product will not fit 99-00 with Z71 option. F*CK!!! This truck has been a nightmare since the accident. Bumper discontinued, Grille guard discontinued. Had to order from LMC and its almost a month and nothing has been done. Sorry starting to lose it again.

Are these grilles still available today? they are very old, you'll likely find one on junkyards or specialty stores. Try online auto parts stores.
