I hit a Large Doe this morning on the way to work, I guess im luck, I had just passed a car so i was clicking along about 85 when there she was, Bang, hit so hard that she bent the left side toe loop on the front bumper down!! Got my grill, left (driver side) lights, bumper and the tweaked the left front fender a little!! I was suprised the air bag didnt go off!! Ive had this truck for 11 years now, never a scratch, just dropped full coverage about 3 months ago! Needless to say I need some parts, any recomendations??Richard

 

man, not a good way to start off the day. good thing you didn't get injured.

 

sorry to hear about that

we are looking for some of the same parts....i had a screw up last week...unlike yours....mine was totaly my fault

I have priced thru LMC, PartsGuyEd, partsgeek, and ebay. theres a lot of stuff out there...some cheap some not. see my new post on bumper differences.

 

Fix it yourself it's not that hard, once you unbolt the part's you will see, don't buy cheap part's, because they are really cheap! Also some insurance's will cover deer damage.

 

An old physics law is: "It's not the M, it's the V-squared that gets ya."

Eighty-five does many times more damage than fifty-five.

You can cheat on the vehicle code, but you can't fool Mother Nature.

Why would you drop full coverage on a truck that nice?

As others have said, "OEM, baby!"

Pop

 

and the cost justificatino of dropping full coverage was just lost

 

I'd also hit up a few junk yards....

Look on the brightside, you got some free deer sausage out of it!

 

Sorry to hear this. This is the resaon I keep full coverage on my truck. I hope you get her back like it was before.

 

Keep an eye on Craigslist. I see 99-'03 Super Dutys being parted out all the time.

 

I definately learned my lesson, OH SO Many lessons in life!! No longer will I haul *** on those 2 lane management area roads!! Kicken myself for dropping full coverage, but 10 yrs with no claim, I figured I had paid enough, sure wish I would have kept it a couple more months!!!!

 

Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market

That website searches junk yards across the country. You will probably be able to find color matched parts at a fraction of the cost of new (without paint). I just got all the replcement parts for an Explorer using this tool. All that stuff is bolt on, so i would suggest you do it yourself. There shouldn't be any frame damage.

RockAuto Auto Parts is also another place to look.

 

I have a '99 parts truck that I'm seeling parts off of. I have the fender but its green. In case there is more damage I have other parts. I'm in Little Rock, AR.
