Hit a DEER and need a new bumper
i'm a new o/o driving a 2006 Coronado, i hit my first deer going about 70mph and put a big dent in the middle of my bumper. Anyone know a good web-site/shop for a good aftermarket chrome bumper? i live in GA.

Ive been driving almost 8 years and hit my first deer this past friday, i felt bad for the deer but all it did was knock my fairing a lil bit, just pulled back into place, the impact wasnt as bad as i thought it would be though :lol: i was doing about 55-60mph,

I was running up 83 between Junction and Abilene here in Texas and I was getting up some steam to pass this ol' Pete rock hauler in front of me. Suddenly, a blur from the left and WHAM! that old Pete bisected that deer.
I swear, I'd never imagined just how much $#!+ and blood is packed into a deer. It looked like a damn slasher movie on the white Pete- and on the front of my Freightliner. -p.

Well, we run 65. That's as fast as they get. :x
Luckily, I just winged them. Didnt do a lot of damage on the truck, but I there are bookoos of deer out here. I've hit a pig, too. |
