    Well last night after a long ass day of working I am coming home around 10:00 pm.. A doe jumped out in front of me doing 55 MPH. I had very minimal time to react and ended up smashing the shit out of it. I moved the doe off the road and continued driving home. I only have one picture of the day time until I get off work later than I can take more.

    I am unsure of the damages so far, besides the obvious. I haven't looked under the truck nor have I looked under the hood. In the picture, the All-pro bumper is trashed. Fender looks smashed slightly. Grille is demolished. And lastly the headlight is messed up.

    Enjoy

    Wow, with a bumper like that I can only imagine the damage that would have been done if you did not have it.

    Sorry to hear that, maybe go with an ARB bumper next and give that one a wirl. The next deer you hit you can compare the durability..Seriously though, atleast your ok, could have been much worse if you had stock though.

    55MPH and that's all the damage? Nice. That'd be a write off if you were stock.

    glad you're alright. the allpro isn't all that strong, hence bending like that. maybe you can replace just that side and keep the bumper after all is fixed?

    Ouch! Could have been much worse at 55. I'd say you were lucky.

    I've hit two over the years so I know how you feel. By the way were you able to salvage any of the road kill? ;)

    Thanks for the concern guys. I am surprised that the bumper folded like it did, but on the other hand I know if I didn't have it, the truck would be totaled. Either way you look at it, it's a $500 deductible, however...

    After finally looking under the truck, the frame appears good. As for under the hood... Both headlights broke off their mounts and are just laying in the housing support. Can't believe they broke like that!!

    Surprised she's not splattered all over the road! That was a clean hit.
