Truck vs Deer
I hit a deer and the deer lost. Barely felt it doing 60ish. Messed up the grill, bumper and supports but nothing to the hood or fenders. I'm looking for an exploded drawing showing all the bits and pieces behind the grill w/ part numbers. Looking on ebay and LMC Truck it appears that ordering a grill just gets you a grill but I can't see the support stuff. If you know of a good source of parts that would be helpful also.
Thanks,
Joe

Illinois white tails can get big. You got lucky. Lots of expensive stuff right behind that plastic grille. I would suggest a grille guard.
A Ranch Hand may be a bit of over-kill, but not unwarranted.

This one picked me. It, with a few others, wandered into the street (2 lane blacktop) in front of the car in front of me. We slowed down and they turned back towards the corn field. Then after the first car passed, just as I got back on the gas, it darted back across the road in front of me. Dumb deer. Dead deer.
Yep, probably messed up the AC condenser but the radiator is untouched. Not a single piece of plastic behind the grill made it.

Never hit a deer but hit a full sized german shepard at 55. Can't believe I kept it upright.
Lived in MN good part of my life and missed allot of deers but never hit one. Now my daughters have hit two this year.
