Deer vs Truck both lost

Looking for aftermarket bumper recommendations and considerations. It’s a 2020 Sport 40k miles sees most dirt hunting in eastern Oregon.

Thinking of going with an aftermarket bumper but seems like there’s a lot to consider when deciding between keeping it stock vs a bumper that will protect from having to go through this again. Interested in all thoughts. It’s likely months till I can get it in and I have not heard from progressive yet on the claim. Thanks for your time and considerations!

 

Another one bites the dust. Sorry to see OP

doesn’t look like a total though

 

Glad to hear the %($*##**$$*# deer didn't make it... stupid azz animals useless...
Glad you are ok - that can be fixed up so you can take out the next stupid azz deer that
tries that sht again.

 

I believe the arb one is tested against deer, dont quote me on that tho

 

Don't want to see that test.

 

Do kangaroo count as dear?

Not totally useless, you can eat em.
Heck in WV if you hit one you can take it home, if you wanna go back and get it if there's anything left worth having.

 

Presumably he just wasn't driving fast enough to drive under it.

 

No the doe was salvaged. ODFW changed that here. She was done but not run over.

 

Damn deer need to stick to crossing at the designated deer crossing signs!!!

 

My votes for ARB, tested and approved on both kangaroos and dingos.

 

@dny , I'm happy you came out of it okay. Bummer about the Taco and I'm sure the deer regrets the decision as well.

 

We don't have kangaroos in N.C.

 

Geez, how big was the op's deer? My brother hit a 400 lb black bear at 55 mph with his highlander years ago, and didn't do that kind of damage. Btw, the bear was declared das.

 

Sucks this has to be your first post. Welcome to TW. Hopefully insurance plays nice.

 

I have been kicking around a idea to make a push Bar for my Hitch on my 2022 TRD. The Bumper is plastic and nothing back there to push on that is solid? Just a T-Bar made out of Box Steel. Seen Steps but not what I am looking for. Not a crash Bar but strong enough to push on or bump into. Maybe have ends too that slip into box steel like the hitch bolted off the frame. Keeping the stock look on the back end at the same time.

 

She was a big doe. I also skidded maybe 3-5 ft before contact. Before picking everything out of the front it looked way worse at first inspection.

 

I want your power driver’s seat! Oh, and welcome to the forum.

 

It’s way off from a total I’m thinking.
