    I say you keep the damage. I'm proud of the dents and scratches on my truck. I don't think I've washed our waxed it in about 6 months. The chunks of fur inside let everyone know that two badass dogs ride with me. The odd holes in the dash let people know that I am an amateur electrician. The dents let people know that you cannot drive but considering you have armor on the truck, you will probably fuck their car up more than your own. Plus, being lazy is just awesome.

    I've had this almost (knock on wood) happen to me a few times in the Santa Cruz Mountains and on 280 near SF. One of my buddies had a brand new Nissan and he smacked a 400lb deer too. He's lucky he didn't get hurt in the accident (my buddy not the deer lol) but the Nissan got smacked up really really bad...

    His words, probably really 150-175. The damage looked like it he hit a cow.

    I just ordered my 3 hoop on Monday along with some hybrid sliders from Demello. So stoked, but it will take 6-8 weeks. Can't wait :hungry:

    Yeah, Im driving the truck down to Demello to pick up the bumper. I will then drop the truck off at Beefed Taco's shop and he will design some of his double cab long bed sliders. He is also going to do a custom tube bumper in the rear for me that will go over the factory rear bumper.
