Howdy all! I FINALLY have pictures online of my new (well, new to me at least) 2001 Ram 2500! I'm wondering if y'all can figure out what brand my replacement bumpers (front and rear) and running boards are. I don't see any logos anywhere so I'm not sure. But I'd like to know. Maybe some older Ranch Hand or Maverick models? Check out MY ALBUM and see what you think. Thanks a bunch!

Looks great. Southwest Fabricators maybe? Brown's? Ranch Hand? I didn't see any exact similarities.

 

Just a guess, but I would say Southwest Fabricators.

 

That looks like a Tough Country front end from Mark's Machine.

Thanks for the compliment, those of you who liked it.

As you can probably tell from my signature, I finally figured out what everything is. Actually, before checking this thread for replies, I stopped by the shop that installed all this stuff for the previous owner (The Muffler Shop--Canton, TX), and just asked what everything was. Then I came home, looked at this thread, did a little bit of double checking online, and changed my signature to reflect my setup.

Both the front and rear bumpers were done by Lone Star Truck Equipment. They're from their Wild West series of products.

The running boards are absolutely awesome and according to the shop, were done by Tough Country (www.toughcountry.com). However, I must admit that the running boards shown by Lone Star Truck Equipment on their website (http://www.lonestartruckequipment.com/wildwest2.html) look VERY similar to me. Perhaps it's the same product with different names on it. <shrugs>

Anyway, the stuff looks great on this truck and I feel like I'm stepping into an Abrams battle tank when I climb into it. Driving it, on the other hand, feels quite different.


P.S.-Anyone want to nominate me for the DTR Truck of the Month?

 

How do the tough country running boards mount. Is there any drilling? Acme truck accessories is selling them for $499. Is that a good price? How much do they weigh?
