I was in the left lane when 2 nearly ran broadside into my car. One made it across both lanes, but a truck nailed the 2nd one doing about 75 mph. It went airborne and through the windshield of a car in the right lane. I watched it all in the mirror. I attempted to stop, but the guy driving the car made it safely to the emergency lane and stopped. Several other cars were able to stop and assist. By the time I got into the right lane I was nearly 1/2 mile ahead anyway. Hope no one was hurt too badly. Most people don't really want the truth. They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I have a superduty now and don't think I can clear a ranch hand or similar bumper in the winter with my boss V plow mounted. Did you lose anything functionaly with your deer hit? Radiator, after cooler etc? or could you still drive it? Something clever here.

And yeah, I'm looking at cowcatcher bumpers...... AC condenser was what I lost on my last hit. Drivable, just looked like hell for a while. I had sort of a medium duty ranch hand with a bull bar to try to strong arm the deer out of the soft spot (radiator). Mine wasn't full blown winch plate heavy so the overall added weight wasn't terrible. Something clever here.

I have a brush guard on mine, with a small welded rack underneath the brush guard, where I have a 31x 10.50 tire mounted on top of.... Like several times before I centered the deer impact right there....deer parts went flying all over the place... only attention the truck needed was to wash off the blood and fur from parts of it.. and off the spare tire mounted up there... I learned that from owning a VW Camper with the spare time mounted on the front of it... a tire can take one hell of an impact and shake it off... pretty much the reason I have one up there even if it does look sorta hillbilly....but since I am from the border country of SE WVa and SW VA.. looking hillbilly doesn't bother me whatsoever.. The hood makes a good varmint shooting bench for sage rats, as shown also.....

So far, I've never hit one but I've had a lot standing on the shoulder looking longingly at my front bumper. Last fall I came within inches of tagging a cow elk one night, though. She was standing on the shoulder with her head in the driving lane. I just about got her with the mirror. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.

The closest calls I've had was a horse that reared up in dense fog. Had he not reared I would have smoked him. The other was broad daylight traveling from Glendive, MT to Fort Peck reservoir on a camping trip. Came over a rise doing about 80 mph in the GF's little car and there was a 2000 lb black angus bull standing broadside in the driving lane. I missed him by inches and he gave ME a dirty look.

Never saw it, but it hit the bug deflector on the hood and splattered across the windshield, leaving a nasty mess of splattered guts and gut contents that dried almost instantly. It seems like I'm always hitting something on I-76, the worst, well, maybe not the worst, but certainly the most interesting, was having a sagebrush lodge under the car and catch fire on the catalytic converter.

I got a new condenser, grill, header panel, headlights, led smoke taillights, smoke cab lights, steering damper and new shocks, hubcaps, and a fab-fours bumper. The bumper showed up faster than any of the other stuff... new header panel and condenser installed. new stlss wire grille. upgraded '08 towing mirrors. The other stuff is coming in tomorrow, Saturday and Monday... Can't install the bumper till the headlights are in.

Does that solid front bumper replacement cause any issues with air flow restriction? The one on my 6.0 PSD has a large opening, which I considered installing a winch in, but didn't want to cause any issues. Last edited by SockPuppet; 07/01/16.

Now I can get that 'Deer-in-the-Spotlight' look, before I run'em over.... a vid of the wireless remote...
