Well Friday I was driving to work when 2 deer decided to hit the side of my truck that is less than 2 months old :(

Now I have decided to throw the bank account at it.
Already ordered magnum front and rear bumpers and am pricing having them powdered to match the truck. A few pics from the start till the deer hit me.

i FEEL YOUR PAIN!! So sorry to see that. it is heart breaking, especialy because it is so new.

6 DAYS after I got my truck i was at Lows and walked out to a dent almost the full height of the bedside just in front of the passenger rear tire...6 F...ING DAYS!! ($1700) I was so utterly disgusted and sick to my stomach for 2 weeks. on top of that i couldn't get it into the shop for over a month because it was during "deer season" for the body shop.

soo. .. I feel your pain and all i can say is hang in their. on another note, when you take your truck to the body shop take it their SPOTLESS and shined up inside and out so they know you are particular about your truck and they know how to return it to you.

Good luck

Well hopefully your state isnt a "no fault" state like mine. They shouldnt raise your premium because it wasnt your fault. Me on the otherhand....i wasnt even driving my truck when it got hit and good old michigan insurance laws screwed me.

I hit a deer also. Insurance cash out was amazing. I got an IronBull bumper as a result.

I like it. I try to drive the back roads in reverse now. So I can hit a deer and get a rear bumper....haha

I've never been a fan of the Rebel's grill but looks good with that bumper grill combo. The safari bar matches the grill angles perfectly
