Good thing there aren't any moose in Arizona, I did hit a bird once on the freeway and it popped

I feel your pain, been there, done that. In Alaska, it's almost "when" not "if" you'll hit a moose.

On the bright side, it looks like you must've gotten her pretty well shut down before you hit

Also your color truck is one of the best looking IMO.

I agree.

That blue is easily the best color on the sports.

Good luck OP

Yeah totally agree. Last sled ride just on the drive up alone counted 13 moose. Once big snow comes they want out of the ditch and on the road.

Very glad you and your son are OK.

Glad to hear everyone ok. Hope the damage repairs aren't too bad. I'm in the 5th Ave dealer in Anchorage & know a guy at the Wasilla shop too if you need anything done that body shop can't do.

Stage 1 moose poop.

Stage 2 as it usually exists in nature:

My wife tagged a Moose.

When I was stationed at Ft Richardson from 02-07 I lived in Palmer and driving past the Palmer hay flats during the dark winter months at O-dark-30 on my way to base could be a scary deal. Saw many moose. Some alive, some dead after being hit (and the vehicles that hit them), and some that were in the process of being put down by troopers after being hit. Should've been on the roadkill list but never got around to signing up. I did love AK and wouldn't mind living up there again some day.

homebrew · Jan 22, 2017

I'm impressed you blew the ass out of a moose and your truck still looks as good as it does.

TruckNut · Jan 22, 2017

Wow! Glad you both are OK. Great color, guess the moose just didn't see it.

I hit a yearling moose in 98 12 valve I ton reg cab with a welding deck on it. The inside of cab and me were covered in fur and SHlT and this truck had a 4" lift and 33"s. I blew the engine cause the throttle Linkage to injector pump was smashed wide open and for some reason the key wouldn't shut it down. The rest of truck was totally fkuced. Your lucky u came out alive!!

Holy crap!! That's insane.
Yeah given that it's a heavy animal and trucks are mostly plastic and pretend metal I'd say the truck faired well haha. It's been almost a week since it got taken to the auto shop and still no word on an estimate. In past experiences with them I get the estimate within an hour. Has me worried. Going to call them today.

Glad everyone is alright!

I hit a deer at 60 once, did $3000 in damage to my '06 2500 I had at the time. That was still drivable although I couldn't open the hood. I couldn't imagine hitting a moose!

+3 on the Ranch Hand bumper idea. I have one on my '11 and fret about nothing :happy107:
