ARB vs Deer

I was on my way to my stand yesterday morning when out of nowhere came a rut crazed buck from the right side of the road. I was going the posted speed limit of 55 and had no time to react when I struck the deer. I was impressed with how well the ARB protected the front end from severe damage but I was also amazed how much the bumper flexed. I can honestly say I am pleased with the ARB and thankful I have it simply because if I did not have it I would be looking at a lot more damage. The damage received is bent bumper and mounts, broken grille and bent passenger side fender.

I see dinner. Bumper took a hell of an impact and saved your truck. Nice.

Hear they're good for whacking jack-a-roos too.

Wouldn't the ARB direct the impact force to the frame? Everything still good with frame? - still drives straight I'm hoping hehe maybe an alignment to verify
Beats all that force going to the motor though!
