Grill Gaurds

i like the big moose bumpers i think they look good and the added protection would be a good thing, however i don't like the pricetag, i have been waiting to put one on my truck, my hood is pretty stone chipped up so iv been waiting to clobber a deer get my hood re-done on the insurance company and then put one on the truck.

 

What are you worried about hitting that might mangle your radiator / engine?

OTR guy or are you Texas local (only an example - didn't see your location on profile)?

'Cause I wouldn't worry about an armadillo, rattlesnakes or the countless stray domestics... But as @Ezrider_48501 alludes to 'Moose....' that's a legit concern in my locality. Bear might be another one to be wary of around here.

 

I see.
I almost got one 4 nights ago. Saw an approaching pickup slow then shoulder his vehicle. About 100 feet past him there was a deer scrabbling for footing in the middle of the road. Not sure who hit who, but timing was on my side that night.

 

Yeppers. Already started seeing the red spots on the highways.

 

I cannot wait for someone to put one on the 2018 "New Cascadia" just hitting the dealerships now. They spent millions to make it as aerodynamic as possible. A moose is going to total one of them...

 

They may add some aesthetics too.
I killed at least 5 animals and twice the damage was severe. Ever since I put the guard, animals stay out of my way.

 

I don't #### around. $6000CDN for this herd super road train but it's paid for itself 5x already.

I run Alberta and there's a decent number of deer and moose. I've hit 5 deer with this thing and I don't even bother stopping anymore because there's nothing ever wrong, just blood and #### stains when I come barreling down a hill doing 70 with 140,000 and Bambi decides to step in front of this Bambi basher!

I had a bird fly through my grille and take out my CAC.

Not only do I now put these super road Trains on every truck, I won't buy a truck that thy don't make one for because all the fuel mileage savinga in the world doesn't help 30k in lost revenue and a insurance claim.

 

Michigan I think has the most deer.
