Bob, your old FJ Cruiser hit Bambi

***Corey*** · 11-02-2008, 09:20 AM

Jen threw an ARB bumper on it awhile back, and there is no damage to the rig.
Had the stock bumper been on there, I am sure she would have a few thousand dollars of damage to the front end.

Only damage is a bent license plate.

They are running a plugin or something to prevent direct linking to threads unless you are a member I guess.

But anyways, Bob's old rig hit a deer at 55 to 60 miles per hour, and the only damage was to the plate.

Wow, glad Jen and Wolfe are OK. That would've taken out most of the stock front end, holed the radiator and maybe deployed airbags. Close call with a happy ending, except for the deer.

Can't go wrong with an ARB. One thing I miss about getting rid of my Tacoma, no damage on mine with after hitting a deer at around 40...wifey said hell no to ordering one for our Tahoe..

Glad the FJC folks were OK...
