Wow, that is pretty significant. If that is the deer that caused all of that damage she is not very big either. Hey wait were did your other 3 legs go?

Hit it broadside ran right in front of me from the right side of the road I didn't even hit the brakes just nailed it and kept going. Was headed to a structure fire so didn't have time to stop and check it out.

Rest of bambi is inside the truck...I remember seeing more pictures of that somewhere else...but the inside of that truck looked like a bloodbank explosion from what I remember. Im thinking it made TV news....

I was looking at the ADD Stealth bumper yesterday I have still attached to the pallet. We were discussing how it could be made better, but that said, ANYTHING is better than that stock bumper the Raptor comes with...

In that GMC wreck, believe the Deer jumped off an overpass and its center of mass hit the leading edge of the roof.

Yeah it definately must have been in some sort of jump to leave that grille and front end intact.
Glad ya made it alright and it does speak volumes for the bumper!

I was wondering how the ADD bumper would do versus a deer. I'm glad to hear it works well!

About the pic of the GMC: It hit where there is no support pulling the roof back. Plus, it IS a GMC.

About the name change: I'm thinking "Slayer"

Glad you and the Raptor are OK.

I ran over a dead deer in my van last week, blood/guts all over the tires, in the wheels, bent plastic p.o.s bumper etc.

When people hit em and leave em on the road it's a pita for everyone else.
