1 clipped deer and one gashed tree...

All I gotta say is ** Built Ford Tough! **

 

If I were you I would replace the front bumper with a Ranch hand bumper like this expy has on it.

my friend had one on his chevy and he was hit by a big van and the bumper held up great.

 

Spartan: you look awful!!! The Beast, on the other hand, seems to have taken the hit much better than you did. You look like you tangled w/the "Rock" and lost.

 

Never swerved for a dang deer, and never will. I am not goning to slide off the road, roll over or hit a tree or anything else for some stupid animal. Hitting them straight on is best. That is why I have the center section of the grill guard. The bars over the lights just fold back against the fender antway. Just protect your radiator so you are not stranded out of town.

I have been in collisions with roos in Australia and kudos in South Africa. Most cars and trucks in Australia have roo bars on the front if they drive outside the city. These beasts will roll up your hood and come in the car or truck with you. Then the fun begins.

Sorry for your loss Spartan. You look worse than your truck! Get well soon.
