Oh deer!!!!!
Well it happened, 2nd deer in 5 yrs! This is horrible, the waiting game again for the truck.
If I knew how to gets pics here, I would. I am using my iPad and can't seem to get them to upload.
But if you cud imagine, deer leaping, catching chest cavity directly on my grill. Then deer exploding guts and blood everywhere! Core support and radiator are now part of the fan. Hood curled some, bumper messed up. So on and so forth. Ins says adjuster will get to it this week, then tear down, paint reassemble,
3 weeks no truck minimum. Bummer.

I use the photobucket app to upload them to my account, then copy and paste the link from there.

lift it about 6 inches and put some 37's on there and then you will be all good for the next deer. You get a small dent on your bumper from there head and hear a couple thumps under and that's it. Sorry to hear your truck got messed up. I got lucky when I hit one and it just took my license plate off
