I hit a deer last week and didn't think the damage was that bad. Got an estimate today and they said $1625. So, instead of spending that much on replacing the paper thin factory bumper, I was thinking about going with an aftermarket one . I searched the site and also google and found a few I like but I really don't know what I'm looking for. Any particular brand you guys recommend? This is on my 2wd daily driver so it wont ever be wheeled but I do drive four hours one way to work a couple times a week through heavy deer population areas. Thanks

 

I don't have a bumper recommendation, but make sure part of that price is not for straightening the frame if its been tweaked. New parts won't line up if the frame rails are bent.

 

Thanks for the input. Thankfully, the frame is good. That was just parts, labor, and paint. Anyone have any recomendations on a beefy bumper for protection from deer?
