I was driving home the other night and a deer runs right out in front of me. I'm standing on the brakes trying to stop, but had no luck. The deer was slipping on the road so I thought I hit him with all bumper. Well I get out of my truck to look at the damage. The drivers side of the bumper was pushed up and the grille insert was popped loose on the bottom. I was suprised that was all it did, so I thought. It turns out the lower valance is broken and my grille shell is broke, thats all I know right. I will find out if that is it when I start taking the front apart.

I found the front valance on ebay for $75, but I can't find a grille shell anywhere I need help finding one. Can someone help me?

 

did you get the deer

I deer was still alive, but I don't think it lived very long.

 

You should have jumped on him and cut his throat Rambo style. This happened to me a few years ago with my last truck. My insurance has this special "if you hit a deer clause" in the contract, only cost me a $100 deductible instead of my normal $500.

 

I would have loved to cut his throat. A little pay back for hitting my truck, but I didn't have a knife. I will just pay for it out of my pocket I hate using my insurance if I don't have to. I don't want to give them any reason to rise my rates.

 

Mine didn't go up at all after that. I figured they would.

 

Should be able to find un-painted grill shells on ebay too, I seen some there before. Bummer to hear though, Its amazing how much damage them deer can do because they are stupid.

 

I have searched ebay with no luck. I remember seeing some there awhile back, but can't find them now.
