    How well is that going to do hitting a 100-130 pound doe at 75 mph?

    And, if it takes less damage than the stock bumper, won't it be more likely to set off the airbags?

    um itll f*ck up the bumper and not the front end of the truck.:notsure: better odds of driving away if the deer is smacking a big steel(or whatever metal) bumper covering the front end rather than a plastic grill/bumper

    edit..sorry i thought it said what instead of how well. im thinking pretty darn well vs. the stock bumper

    I would post a picture of a 3600 pound Subaru that met up with my bumper but I don't want to add salt to the driver's wound. My total damage was a cracked piece of plastic, a scrape on my headlight, and paint off of my wheel surround. All-in-all, it reinforced that I like these bumpers for things like deer! ;)

    Take a look at this one...
