Involved in accident this morning!!! Hit a Deer!!

Went from looking like this




To this in a blink of an eye..

 

Hey man, if you wanted to get rid of that chrome trim, there are easier ways to do it.

P.S. Got any back strap?

P.P.S. Glad you're okay!

 

Aw shit hope you all good

 

Ouch, that's 6k to 8k damage, maybe more... Sorry, went through that last year.

 

Did you recover the deer?

 

here is the form you need

 

Looks like Bambi bounced off to the left rather than over...

 

Eh? Fender, fender flare, headlight, grille, bumper cover, shouldn't add up to 6k.

 

This was 6K and change, door was dented, along with rocker quarter size dent.His is worse, lot of internal structure, damaged.

 

^Was insurance paying? Looks like the shop really padded up the estimate.

 

Yes, 100% covered by insurance, no deductible on comp.

 

That sucks man i fear this every night going home i see deer, I slow down a good bit at night especially in winter when it gets cold and rut starts the deer are moving. I need to get a beefy brush guard just in case.

 

Brush guards cause more damage, usually cause frame to bend as well.

 

Sorry to see OP

total bummer

 

Oh man that suck's, glad you are ok.

 

Depends how hard of a hit I've had them save a couple of trucks from damage in light impact.

 

How fast were you going?

 

Brush guard won't help; it would have additionally dented the hood in this particular crash.

An ARB bumper would've probably saved the day, but that has significant drawbacks in daily use (adding half a foot to the front overhang, ~170 lb weight, not fully compatible with the millwave radar, etc., etc.)

 

That kind of damage looks like he sped up....
