Hit a deer… should I just sell it?


Honestly, might be better to just scrap it now… what do you think? I’d buy it off you for $10k as is. That’s fair, right?

Sounds like a decent offer, but maybe send it my way first for a ‘safety test’? You know, just to be sure it’s good… I’d totally send it back to you afterward, promise!

@Casey
Haha, yeah, I trust you… no one with two 5’s in their name would ever try to pull anything.

Alright, deal! :laughing:

Lucky that didn’t mess up your truck more… deer can do serious damage!

No joke! I was only going 35 mph since it was in town… weird place for a deer too.

Glad you and the truck are alright!

@Bailey
Same here… my kids got scared. Luckily, the deer just hit the bumper. I’ve seen trucks totaled by deer.

Man, an owl took out my front grill once… looked like someone threw a basketball at it :joy:

Only a scratch, right? Just a ‘flesh wound’!

Reminds me of my buddy who used to dip for years… his lip sits funny now because of it!

I got the ADD bumper with no frame cutting required. You might have to move that cruise control sensor, though. They charge around $600 for it, but honestly, you can find mounts much cheaper. If you’re close to Georgia, I’ve got a spare brand-new bumper in the garage.

@Drew
Thanks a ton! I just ordered an ADD Phantom and the ACC bracket. They sure don’t come cheap.

Yeah, they’ll charge you an arm and a leg for that small piece of metal. It used to be $150 less a while ago too.

Hey, maybe your insurance can throw in some new tires while they’re at it :+1:

Lucky it wasn’t worse or a bigger deer… two of our Raptors hit deer this year and repairs cost $23k and $21k each.

Not too bad… I hit a deer going 60 mph in my Tacoma, and it smashed up the bumper and grill. Thankfully the radiator was fine, so it drove okay, but it looked rough.
