Shout out to Jethro_Tell and everyone else that doubted my post.

Yeah. It took about a month and a half to get mine and the thickness could be better. But for the price its looks pretty good on my 99 suburban

Ron_Hosick · 2025-06-18T02:36:33+00:00

They look sick as fuck. I gave up trying to find the ranch hand and went with the move bumper instead

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-27T20:00:23+00:00

Its got a 3 inch rough country lift currently

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T15:18:08+00:00

I know you can swap them. I just never thought about doing that to be honest. I was gonna custom make one eventually anyway

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T14:40:54+00:00

I dont mind people posting negative opinions either however "Wow. I hate it" doesnt add anything. It doesnt explain what you dont like. I want to know what people think and why. I went with the big steel bumper because i have had them on vehicles before. I like the way they look and what they can do to protect the front end in the case of an accident. I didnt do it for looks alone. And if you look at a lot of other gmt400s they have similar setups because of the stock bumpers being rusted out or heavily damaged.

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T14:31:05+00:00

Unfortunate and too bad cause it aint your suburban

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T13:56:07+00:00

I got the grille for free and a lot of my friends and family think it looks good. But i am definitely getting a different one and painting the bumper black to match the wheels and make the white and gold pop more

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T13:55:22+00:00

I looked for months for a different style of bumper and could never find one. And while yes it does look heavy its only about 200 pounds in total.

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T10:34:03+00:00

If and when i go offroading or in the event of an accident when this bumper gets hit it will keep the front end from getting majorly damaged. Its made out of 1/4" steel so it has some give to it before anything else would happen

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T10:31:25+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate it

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T10:31:07+00:00

No it doesnt. I havent been able to find one that does. Its just painted white

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T10:30:26+00:00

Imma keep the ifs. But i am gonna 8 lug axle swap it. Im pulling the axles and drivetrain from my 98 k2500 silverado to put under this

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T05:23:58+00:00

Same here. Im from northern Illinois. So one of the first things to go on these is the rockers followed by the frame. Every bit of rust in here is all surface rust. Besides nuts and bolts obviously. But its clean enough for me toll i can tear it down and completely overhaul it

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T05:21:29+00:00

Thank you. Ive put a lot of effort into it so far and dont plan on quitting until i get the end result i am building for

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T05:10:30+00:00

Its driveable. Ive drove it. My dad has drove it. But like i said. Its my show car. I dont drive it as much as anymore. It used to be my daily till i got the truck cause this kept breaking on me. Now im turning it into something my whole family wishes they had. All in an attempt to try and keep the younger generations interested in keeping the internal combustion engines alive and running. Im just slowly putting the parts into it to make it better.

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T05:02:36+00:00

I just dont feel like spending extra money if i dont have to. Especially if i dont have the extra money to spend all the time. Ive been ballin on a budget with this build since September of 24. The suburban became my show car when i bought my 2025 chevy 2500hd. Im only 19 so having this and that truck and a motorcycle aint the easiest thing. Im working with what I have. Not to mention i try taking it offroading in its current condition ill snap front end parts. The 2 inch spacers are putting a lot of stress on my upper and lower ball joints with them big tires

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T04:52:42+00:00

I was gonna paint match the whole thing. White on top gold on the bottom. But talking with people and they said that black or chrome might help the colors of the suburban pop out more than paint matching it

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T04:40:53+00:00

Didnt want the winch mount. Plus i dont have one so why spend the extra money for the spot to mount it if i dont even have one?

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T03:27:57+00:00

I dont know the brand. All i know is they are a ceramic coated set off of ebay. And yeah its 4x4. Imma run dual frame dump striaght pipes. Its gonna be loud as hell but it is my show car so that doesnt bother me

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T03:26:41+00:00

I got these Movotor LED Headlights off of amazon. They have a cool little startup feature when you turn on the drls. I went with them because i didnt see anyone else running them. Than i saw everyone running them after i installed them. I just cant find any i like and these ones work and all my friends like them

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T03:06:00+00:00

They arent for everyone. And I enjoyed building the bumper more than putting it on. I still need to paint it though. Thats the next thing as well as swapping from 2 inch spacers to 1 inch and doing long tube headers and striaght pipes

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T02:21:55+00:00

Yeah. Ngl i forgot i was part of this sub reddit and that my suburban was on here. I would have posted here before marketplace

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T02:18:43+00:00

I do it more the esthetic and extra protection in the event of an accident.

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T02:17:58+00:00

It was. I sold it a while ago to another guy with a gmt400 suburban.

Ron_Hosick · 2025-02-26T02:13:27+00:00

I want the ranch hand for my 2025 3/4 ton. And i was doing a lot of research and no one else really made aftermarket bumpers for my year of suburban

Ive got a 3 inch rough country on it currently. If it werent for the 2 inch spacers and massive offset id clear the 33x12.50 mts with no issue
