Ouchhhhhhh!!!

Well I was on my way back from my buddys house last night and this happned ......(see attachment)... Now the only question is since this is a street queen should i just go OEM, ARB, Brushguard? and do you think i can talk the body shop into putting in an aftermarket grill (inshurance expence of course)? Tell me what you think...

Schwartz

BTW it was a Deer

 

that sucks!!

 

Oh shit! That's blows. You should just get the ARB and pay the difference if there is any. The body shop is always willing to help if it involves making them more money.

 

You're not the only one schwartz, I put some lovely mall rash on mine yesterday too. Granted, mine's a strawberry, but still the most noticable one i've pulled off to date. Hey used to work at a body shop, and usually, no, they cannot replace with aftermarket stuff....(liability reasons)..... However, get the shebang estimates, and get a check from the ins. company, and, Kaboom, new ARB bumper hits the doorstep, imagine that? Persnally, I'd never use that "tin stuff" grille guard, etc... so either one extreme...(oem), or the other, (arb, shrockworks, or allpro).

 

Ouch bro- You can work out whatever you want with the body shop after the adjuster decides how much you'll be getting. You can take a check and buy/install whatever you'd like usually, they might give you a break if you buy more parts or whatever.

Adding the weight of an ARB on a street truck doesn't make sense...A brush guard could look good. I'd get it back to OEM if it were me and I was going for street. I'd throw the ARB or something like it on for me...cause I take it offroad.

 

im wishing i had that FJ last night so i could have impaled that deer though he didnt get up after it was said and done. But the FJ would have taken no damage

 

I have my stock bumper, It has a few marks on it but if you want it its yours.

 

Thanks man PM sent

 

Ouch ... I hope that deer is tasty

 

yeah if it wasn't movin, where are the pics of you loading it up in the back and takin it home lol

sux aboot the truck tho

 

It wasnt worth it it was the smallst buck ive ever seen (except for MS bucks)

 

that looks exactly like the damage done to my truck a few weeks ago lol

 

What was your estamate?

 

4000 canadian

 

The young bucks are the ones the taste the best.

 

Dang that SUCKS!!! Sorry dude!!!

 

Sorry to hear. Stupid deer!

 

Man i was in the same boat your in, check out my pics, 1300 worth of damage. My bullbar took the hit, if i was you i would go with the brushguard or a bullbar. Sorry that had to happen to you

 

I didn't read any of this thread other than the OP...but I have a black front bumper cover that I will be ready to sell soon. PM me if you are intersted....I am going to fabricate up a front bumper...I have been meaning to do it for two years.....if I sell the front bumper that will motivate me to get it done!!!!!
