Uhh ohh! Deer!

So I hit a deer in my brand new 2015 Tacoma this morning going 60 on highway. It will need a whole new front end. I know bummer but I'm ok so all good. So I'm curious about aftermarket bumpers and what you guys would recommend or should I just go with the stock bumper. Pics and prices appreciated. Thanks a bummed taco driver with no taco now for a couple weeks.

 

Check this thread out. This chick took out 2 full cows, I call her the cow slayer.

pics of damage or its a lie

 

If going aftermarket I would suggest an aluminum bumper as they weigh about half of the steel ones. Unless you are into hard core rock crawling where the bumper may be abused.

 

I vote aftermarket haha.. as TashcomerTexas said, I nailed two cows that got out of their ranch and were in the middle of a main highway.

 

Aftermarket for the win.

 

my biggest fear - I live in Mid Michigan, and see deer outside my deck almost daily.... glad you are ok...

 

Come at me deer.

 

Ive got the demello with three hoops on my wish list...it looks so damn good. That's the one on the cow slayer's truck. Sorry about your luck but now you have an excuse to buy a badass bumper!!

 

Thanks guys I'll check some of those out.

Ramon, I wish it was a lie, unfortunately I didn't think to snap a picture before the tow truck towed it away. My clients for the day were following me so I had to keep them ocupied untill another guide could get out there. Ill try to get the collision shop to shoot me a pic of it hopefully before they start dissasembing it. Only 2500 mile on it! The only thing that's been positive today is how well the insurance company took care of me. Oh well back to work tomorrow and won't have phone service again till Tuesday evening so no estimate till then.

 

Hope they get your truck all fixed up and it would obviously be a good time to upgrade the bumper.

 

I got sideswiped by a nice buck the other night. Truck and deer sustained minimal damage fortunately. I'd go aftermarket, for sure.
