Elk vs bumper... replacement suggestions

Some ass clown chased a baby elk down a perpendicular side road onto the highway in front of me this morning. His excuse “I flashed my lights to warn you” guess that was better than stopping and letting it cross a fence into the giant fields?

Anyway my front end is toast and I’m looking for pictures and recommendations for offroad replacement. No hoops, no Baja and will not be adding a winch soon if at all. Thanks!

 

I really liked my fab fours premium, i hit a deer and took out the under headlight garnishes as well- it replaces those. I just ordered a C4 fab hybrid front bumper for my new truck though!

 

Tube style bumpers are absolutely stronger then plate. I won't wast my time on a plate bumper. So if you're looking for real protection go with a tube bumper

 

Glad to see your retrofits made it out unharmed

 

I like my DV8, it's HD and a good cost savings

 

I assume you took the back straps?

 

Since you killed it, do YOU get the meat?

 

That sucks, but that thing would be in my freezer if it was me.

 

At first glance, I was excited that elk hunter was back!

 

For HD in the looks department I like this one

I know you said no Baja but I think this bumper looks pretty bad ass

it popped off the shroud inside and broke all the mounting brackets. Also cracked the under side so it’s going to let moisture in. Unfortunately they’re done.

 

I tried. Idaho is a salvage state. I’m here working on a helicopter fire contract and have no way to deal with it. One of the brothers of a local crew member tried to get it but it was already picked up in the hour it took him to get there. He knows the guy who got it and I’m happy it won’t go to waste. would’ve been a great end of season BBQ.

 

I was just looking at that C4 bumper. Did you go with the front hoop? And did you get the parking sensors option? Post some pics when you get it.

 

High hoop, parking sensors and light bar slot- bummed my ONX6 wont fit in the slot though!

 

Ah crap

 

Same.

It was probably him who flushed it out.
