Tundra vs Deer

Happened on the way to work this morning. Guess I'm in the market for a new bumper and grill surround.

 

That sucks hope your ok

 

I'm fine. Deer ran right out in front on me. Didnt hit the brakes until it was aleady hit.

 

Now you have a good excuse for that serious bumper you've been after!

Luck and enjoy those Toyotas. : ^ )))

 

Glad you're OK. Second Tundra v Deer this week.

 

Glad you are okay.
The 3" lift might have saved you a bunch in terms of damage. A lot more to get damaged right above the bumper line.

 

Good point. Also fortunate I wasn't driving my wife's 4Runner

 

Any suggestions for a front bumper? Looking at Sparks parts, looks like I'm in around $625 for replacement parts for the bumper. Also, Can I replace just the grill surrond?

 

Check with @Roman

 

Deer hit my truck yesterday. Ran right into the side of my truck when i was going about 30 mph. Probably going to have to replace both doors and possibly need some work on the bed as well.

 

That sucks. I was lucky wasnt worse than what it was. I hit it at 55 mph.

 

Finally got it fix this weekend. I went with a Barricade front bumper along with getting the new grill and surround color matched.

 

Looks great! So glad you got the color matched bulge and grille surround. Looks like a new truck....now you can thank the deer

 

Repairs look great!

 

That looks good. I take mine in tomorrow to get the deer damage fixed.

 

That looks good!! Looks hefty!! I pity the next deer that runs into you!

 

I like that look! Yup, next deer better watch out!

 

I have around $1800 in it. Luckily, insurance covered most of it. Had to buy a new panel cover under the passenger headlight. Bought the grill and bulge from a forum member. It was $250 to have it and the panel under the headlight painted. $595 for the bumper from extreme terrain, 2 pair of baja designs sae and a rough country 20 in light bar.

 

Nice look, maybe a grill guard will be next.

 

I hit two deer a couple years ago. One with the front bumper like yours and did the same thing. Aftermarket front bumper. Then 9 months later the second one ran into the side of the truck at 50 mph. did 2800$ worth of body damage to rear passenger door and surrounding area. Disappointing part was it ran into ME and did all that damage. would have figured a lot less damage.

 

Glad to hear you are OK. I played this game last year and lost. I had 6 deer cross in front of me and I missed them all..........except for the 7th straggler. Caught her head in the front grill while her body wrapped around the front fender and took it out, then her butt spun around and caught the rear passenger door and the front of the bed all down the passenger side. It was about 12K in damage by the time it was all said and done. I thank God that I have a friend that owns one of the best body repair shops in Detroit. They only service Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, Bentley, Rolls Royce and Audi vehicles. He takes great care of me due to our 35 year friendship. The truck is back to new. But it was a not so fun time when it happened.

 

Yea, smacked a deer in the wifes 4r right before Christmas, dropping it off at the repair shop tomorrow. Driver side fender is rolled in and that headlight is destroyed as well

 

Take this as a lesson gentleman. If you are wanting to upgrade your bumper, without the misses complaining, simply "Hit a deer".

 

Exactly hahaha

 

That sucks. Nice looking 4Runner

 

I went with a Barricade front bumper along with getting the new grill and surround color matched.





How's the light bar output? Does you state not require a front license plate?

 

I haven't wired it up yet. I hope to get to it this coming weekend. SC doesn't require a front tag, but there was a bracket included with the bumper. It didn't look like it would interfere with the light bar.

 

looks good !

 

Looks sweet
