So I was going to work this morning doing about 70mph down a back road.. when a doe appeared before my truck..but I could not stop.. even if I was going 30mph!! Smashed the darn thing so hard it split the deer in half! I pulled off in a feild drive and coolant was leaking out bad.. so I had it towed.. Talked with the shop.. needs new rad. A/C condensor.. bumper core support and headlights... ordered the headlights, rad, and A/C condensor this evening.. bumper and front plastic from a 1997 at the junk yard $150 and $60 for the fender well plastic... might even get a grill fom the bone yard as well.. here's the damage!

I would have used it as an excuse to get a HD bumper or one of the different ones from LMC.

Glad you ain't hurt.

See? The airbags don't go off unless there is serious crunchage.

like they say if you cant dodge it ram it and looks like you ramed it pretty good i would say that push bar did its job
i never new you had air horns on your truck?

Wow, Well that sucks man, Those headlights looked pretty new to begin with. Are you going with the one piece tinted ones again or the stock ones?

Wow, I wonder how much worse it would have been if you didn't have that pushbar? Looks like it barely phazed it. Glad you weren't hurt.

ouch. thats all i can say.

Ow...
I live in a heavy deer population.
Have a little push bar like that, too...

Hope I don't encounter one.

I was thinking about getting a push bar after seeing your truck I just ordered one..

Damn man, that sucks big time. Glad you didn't get hurt during that mess.

I have yet to hit a deer with mine, but I have plowed a few turkeys. Those are entertaining when they bounce off of your windshield at 55MPH. I am surprised, I haven't shattered the glass yet.

Damn dude. Glad your OK and the truck aint that bad. Be glad your driving a Dodge and have a push bar. Definitaly a good reason to get a bumper like a Ranch hand.
