Rebuild of bumper and grill after hitting deer

[Ram Outdoorsman]

Last week a deer ran out in front of my truck and I had no way of dodging it. So I used the opportunity to upgrade my front end.

He can't be in jersey, he doesn't have a front license plate. I would guess PA, based on the yuengling plate.

*truck looks good, BTW!*

The bumper is from American trucks and it's the barricade extreme hd. The grille is from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Tuxo-Upgrade...=gateway&sprefix=2014+ram+&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1

Is there a chance we get a side view?

Most bumpers have an ugly ass underbite

It's dark but I think this gets it good. I'll get a better pic tomorrow.

Yea this one ran out of the tree line on a back road. I'm happy all it did was cosmetic damage and nothing mechanical or the frame

Could have been worse but hey look at that wicked bumper that deer allowed you to get!

 

[Jrod]

Nice! Now you need to Mad Max the rear end too!!

Can we get some of that deer sausage you made? You did pick it up and take it home, didn't you?

Haha. Unfortunately not. After the front of the truck hit it, it went underneath the truck and my truck crushed it.

Love that front bumper!

For around $600 shipped, that would be cheaper than getting a whole new plastic front bumper assembly, plus paint, labor, etc..

The plastic OEM front bumpers are bunch of separate pieces that add up to $$$. I bet all in, it would be $1200-1400 with paint and labor from a body shop.

I did the same thing to my 2017 Ram 1500 QC express back around November. Walloped a deer. My damage was lighter than yours, but the bumper face is all cracked. I'd do one of these style replacement bumpers before I put another OEM on it. I'm just worried about rust being in the rust belt. Not sure about those fogs either. I do kind of like the OEM fogs.
