well. 3 months and 6000 miles on the truck and its been wrecked by someone elses negligence. I tboned a guy after he decided to turn in front of me Friday. So needless to say I am waiting on the insurance company to haul it to the body shop for an estimate. I am thinking there is frame damage. Definitely going to file a diminished value case after repairs and i am going to go after him in the case of it being totaled for the difference in the value and loan since this is underwater and I dont have gap. ******* me I know.

Good luck with the settlement.

My buddy had a brush guard on his F150 and some guy brake checked him.

Let’s just say the car looked like an accordion and his brush guard was bent, truck was fine. It almost makes me want to buy one for mine.

I'd doesn't look all that bad in the pic......

Take it to the best body shop you can find, obviously.

That really stinks. But the good news is the truck is almost new, so the paint will match perfectly, and if you want to change grills, or whatever, you can.

Keep us posted.

From the picture, it looks fixable. Sorry this happened.

If you really want a grille guard, try this one out. My 2nd one (on 2 Rams). Have destroyed 4 deer so far with the white 2500 Ram.
Only got two with the 1500.
It's Made by GO Industries in Texas.

PS: Pictures were taken after hitting the deer. Rams 6, Deer 0.
