2nd gen ranch hand bumpers on a 3rd gen?

Howdy from dallas tx,

Last week I bought a 2015 single cab long bed SR 2wd 5.7 tundra. It was a great price, but its got a few issues. It needed new front tires and I thought the stock wheels were ugly so I found a deal on some TSS wheels and tires and threw them on. Another issue is the rear bumper is trashed.

I am too OCD to have mismatched bumpers so I would like to swap both F/R out for some ranch hand type bumpers. I am too broke to spend 2k on a set of new bumpers, so I am looking used.

I have looked for 3rd gen ranch hand bumpers used and cant find any. I have found a few 2nd gen bumpers though. Would these be a direct swap onto my truck? For both front and rear.

Help is appreciated, thanks!

 

So how bad is the bumper you have now?

Nice truck too,not many of us here!

 

Congrats and welcome from Central Penna... Good looking Rig.

 

Welcome from SoCal. Nice RCLBs. My opinion is they would probably work, they do call gen3 gen2.5, but when it comes to spending big money, probably not worth the risk. I sure someone on here will be along who knows for sure, or you can search the site but thats a job in itself.

 

I think they will bolt up, but they won't fit right. The body lines are different. Not going to be a direct fit.

 

@ezdog That tundra is beautiful, love the color.

The back bumper needs the step pad, one of the end caps, and side step pad parts, which would cost me 260$ off ebay. That's more than I really want to spend on a stock bumper.

Based on y'alls replies I think 2nd gen ranch hands aren't gonna work so for now I am just going to leave it alone and keep an eye out for a good deal on something on craigslist. It looks ugly but its not hurting anything.

The prior owner backed into one of those yellow concrete poles you find in parking lots. Hit right on the passenger side corner. Little bit of body damage too but nothing significant. This was a big part of why it was such a good deal, the other part being that it has crank windows (lol).

 

Welcome from OKC! Love my Ranchhand bumpers, wait until you can get the real deal. Well worth it! Sport series on the rear, but don't have a pic handy. You can see it on the trail edition thread if interested.

 

Where are you located?

 

Update y'all!
Found a pair of ranch hand bumpers for 800$. Came all the required hardware and the light bar too. I originally wanted the "full mask" type front bumper, but the bullnose is growing on me.

Now to find some nerf bars that fit a regular cab...

 

Congrats! What a steal for some serious steel!! Love mine, it will grow on you!
