Damn deer!!

I was driving home from the city on sunday morning and a damn deer jumped out in front of me.. I ended up in the ditch side ways in the ditch and tore the shiat out of my front bumper and destroyed the intercooler radiator . I took her in for an estimate and they said 4300.00. Im pissed off but at least everyone was ok . I think if i would have been in the focus it would have rolled. Hopefully they fix her up as good as new.Ill take some pics later and post them .

Wow I can't believe how much that estimate was after looking at the damage. I can only imagine how expensive it would be if your headlights, hood were involved.

new hood, left fender ,bumper cover ,grill, left side ground effects ,intercooler radiator and misc body work. The cab is dented a little from the bed hitting it .hopefully my rims arent all scratched up . I already plan on putting an after market hod on instead of a stocker.The bodyshop said they would work with me on that .

Time for some billet grilles and a new hood. Hope you get everything straightened out.

Another reason everyone should all carry 12 gauges in their trucks and why gun racks should have been at least an option.

Key deer in the everglades. Although either the L or expy would blow straight thru those tiny suckers.

Have the dealership check your frame. It looks a bit bent in the last pics.....

I'm not sure if a deer could have bent your frame, but you can never be too sure!

Damn Jason that sucks, Did you hit the bastard or not ? I like Bambi but damn I see too many vehicles getting messed up by critters up here, In Texas all we have are Giant Amadillos(sp) to worry about.
