Hit a deer :(

Hey folks,

I hit a deer





Which means its ARB bumper time!! Really its not that bad. I Almost missed her. All the damage is below the cut line and I only need a few parts, preferably used since new prices are uncalled for. I really want oem, however; I'm open to quality after market if anyone has any suggestions. I've sourced all the typical places.

So,

Anyone have or know a great place to find...

Passenger headlight w/led (mine is actually fine except for broken tabs - I may try to repair since a replacement is 350-1200$)
Passenger fender flare
Passenger inner fender liner



Thanks guys!

 

Glad you are ok, could have been 100x worse i actually didn't see any damage at first then noticed a hole haha---yep time for upgrades...

 

Too bad... At least the damage was light... I have been eyeballin' that Strike bumper from Victory.

Is your driveway heated?

 

Bummer, but at least humans are ok! Did you get to bring the deer home? Time for a new bumper, I vote bull bar

 

ARB FTW!

Edit: I am also glad you are ok.... I get excited sometimes lol.

 

Sorry to hear about this...however, it seems as though now you get assistance with getting the front bumper you really want. Glad you are ok. Question for you, if you are looking to get an ARB Front Bumper, like this one...



Why would you need a new fender flare and inner fender liner? Don’t you need to cut the fender flare up higher anyways and just can add some more 3M. Also, with the inner liner, doesn’t it go away with this front bumper or at least get cut up just as high?

 

Glad you are OK - Here's a pic of mine. I was doing ~ 50 mph with an ATV in bed and pulling a trailer. Didn't really "feel" like much of an impact - More of a loud POP ... no airbags, but I think this is still over $10k of damage (Canada, btw)

I didn't upgrade anything ... wished I had gone for PRO grille, but parts (in general) were hard to come by (this was 2 years ago)

 

Why not an insurance claim?

 

Only by the sun

 

Unfortunately the tabs behind that hold things together are busted

 

Yes i am finding that parts are hard to come by as well unless you want to overpay.

 

Did that, its time to upgrade!

 

Besides increasing the 'bro" status, this is why aftermarket bumpers exist.

 

Indeed I do! And next time I will punt that sucker 50yards off the road.

Hopefully

 

... My insurance CO covered full use of OEM parts ... good body shop too - They rejected some parts from Toyota because of flaws / defects - I Think it took about 2 months to get everything done

Was in a F250 4x4 Diesel CC for the duration ...
