  • Damm Deer!!!

    Those darn deer are so sneaky I didn't even see it coming...

    After and before..

    I know it is body parts from a Z, but it all I have and got only liability. Well and no cash.

      Yeah...That deer was rather large, I assume the doe to be about 4-5 years old 175 pounds and possibly pregnant or just gave birth, died on impact. The doe just came bolting from the side of the ditch, around here the grass grows tall, so I had like a second to react.

      I would have just replaced the headlight assembly but I figured I would replace a bit more.

      I replaced the impact bumper, driverside fender, hood, headlight assembly, side-markers, hood latch assembly with center bracket.

      The impact bumper was bent and the mount on the driverside was severly distorted but no frame damage or crumple zone damage, the fender was buckled all the way in rubbing on the strut plate. The hood was curled up bad on the driverside.
      Still has damage to outter frame body surrounding the AC radiator on the driver side where the headlight assembly smashed into it, and the battery box is slightly displaced but not much though. No inner structure damage

        Glad to hear you didn't get hurt though. I have seen deer end up flying over bumper and through the windshield.
