So ok i went to my ranch over the weekend to work cows and hunt hogs, well sunday morning i left around 6:00 Am and it was foggy as heck so of course i slowed down a little.......hehe but i couldnt be late for work and its a 3 hour drive so i didnt slow down much. Well about 1 hour in a Buck came out of no where and i barely missed him.....so i think next install should be a brush gaurd i dont want to risk hitting a deer again, cuz i drive down there alot and i need some protection. Any ideas? Brands? Cost? Pics? PLease thanks ahead

If you hit a deer going at highway speeds, a brush guard isn't going to really protect your truck. You'll still have the potential for major damage.

There have been a lot of threads in the last week on brush guards. Poke around the appearance forum and you'll probably find them. If not, then do a simple search and you will find a ton of info.

 

I will totally agree with this statement. Heck just a month ago my buddy hit a deer at highway speeds and the deer skipped off the hood and caught the windshield right at the roof line and peeled the entire roof all the way back to the trunk of his car. He and his brother barely escaped death on that one!!

 

Are those brush guards bolted to the frame? If so, chances are much better for frame damage if you smack something good. FYI

 

Get what Impact9 has!!!!!!!!!!!!! No deer will ever cross your path then!

 

^^^agreed. i would look into a full metal replacement

 

theres impacts rig

 

Why not just buy some deer whistles for a few bucks? Do those things really work?

 

Like CRF250rider1000 said Impact9's truck is most likely the only truck on the site that would survive a highway speed impact with at deer, goat, small calf, or sub-compact car.

 

Holy chit!!!!

Nevermind what I said earlier

 

I agree that a brushguard may not save you or your truck from serious damage, but from personal experience I can tell you that more than likely it will save you most of the time. Apparently people are attraceted to red dodges. I've owned two dodges and had several people pull out in front of me and I have driven away all but once. That one time was a collision with a semi. Truck was still running, but the radiator was busted. The poor deer that jumped in front of me while I was doing 65 only took out my headlight. As soon as I can afford a brushguard I will have one on my truck.

Hopefully a new truck and a new color will prevent old men, women, and deer from crossing my path.
