Not heavy, just well designed placement of structural tubing.

 

ya i'm at csu.
well designed sometimes means somewhat heavy though. lol

 

there is a bunch of ttora guys up that way. we should get together sometime, turn some wrenches, snow bash, or grab some beers (after of course).

 

ya for sure... for some reason whenever i have ttora send my conformation e mail in never sends so i cant join.lol but i'll keep tryin. we can turn some wrenches and fix my e locker!!!! haha

 

Save your money and zip tie the grille, they aren't heavy enough to need anything else. My grill is all zip ties because the nutsert/clip things were either gone or broken, not a problem.

 

same thing for me after my accident

 

I'd like to think my bumper will take on both a Deer and a Pathfinder without issue!

But I'd rather not find out.
That's been my experience.

 

ya yours might take on a deer lol

 

I hit a deer doing between 65 and 70 in my 86 Mustang. I was going like 85 or90 in the hill country at night and when I finally seen him coming i stood on the brakes and ducked behind the wheel. I just caught him on the right side so all it did was smash my bumper cover, headlights, and crumple the fender. Oh and the core support was a little tweaked. Oh and sice i just got him in the a@#, his head slung around and broke his antlers of on my fender. I went back the next day and got the antlers.

 

haha in a mustang!!! you musta hit it just right... if there is a right way to hit a deer. lol

 

there is.. if u know your going to hit it.. your going to hit it.. standing on the stoppers is actually the last thing you wana do.. more so in a car... it drops the hood down and make it more likely for it to go through the windshield and kill you... not so much in trucks.. but a rule of thumb if you know for sure your going to hit is to jam on the gas.. it lifts the front up and makes it more likely is going to hit and go under the car.. i know theres tons of variables. like if your on ice and what not..

 

That's very true about standing on the gas, not the brake. You have to remember that most of us are driving underpowered Toyota trucks, so there really isn't a lot of "going up with the front." But most of us are high enough to go over most of it anyway. Horses, Elk and Moose scare me more. Their that much higher to begin with.

 

stupid nissan

 

bump to the quote i got. on origional post.

 

time for a 1/4" steel bemper. a good solid block of it so it could put any nissan in it's place.

 

ha my bumper now is just a lil stronger than 1/4in plate... Its 2in 120wall tube. Just a little thicker i think. lol

 

how is everything going? hate to say it, but you wont always get STealership's quote from your insurance. you MIGHT. but i doubt it. they will find some common ground im sure.

 

2 deers hit me when i was going 70km an hour... the 4runner drove home striaght... only damamger the front quater pannel .. and small door dent and yeah and lots of fur and bloood in my grill....

 

its gong well i got all my replacement parts on hold and ready for order... i get the final insurance quote tomorrow morning and the check later this week probably. last time i got in an accident the took the stealership quote but this i a different insurnce company. hopefull all will turn out well.

o ya and i painted my bumpers silver and the front skid plate (not in the photos) is black with the toyota sign and 4runner below it in silver. i'll get pics of it all when i get it all fixed up. it looks so sick!!!

 

cool man. keep us updated. and pm me if you have insurance specific questions.
