Deer = new ADD bumper

[mdax]

So this happened

My plan is either, replace with the stealth bumper that just has a light or go all the way with the one that has a winch and requires replacing the intercooler.
My decision will be partly driven by what USAA is going to give me to fix it.

OEM bumper will take many months, I'm concerned the grill and fairing below it will also take a while.

The new intercooler comes with the adaptive cruise control relocation bracket and is in stock now.
So I'll likely do that part first, then wait the 12 weeks for the ADD bumper and do that in Nov sometime.

Is insurance going to cover it? Not gonna lie, I was secretly hoping to have the same thing happen lol. But I just ended up going this route. https://dv8offroad.com/collections/...roducts/2021-22-ford-f-150-winch-front-bumper

I haven't installed it yet, but it's prepped and ready to go once I have time!

That's one tough dog! May want to keep him. I know you're just saying deer because he told you to. Blink twice if you need help...

I've been thinking about the Ranch Hand Summit but like the way the ADD (with the baja bar) and the DV8 look. I wasn't sure if the ADD would survive a deer. Did you anyone ever replace the bumper? How does it look? Think the ADD will actually hold up?

Here's some shots from the back side of the DV8. Looks like it's all 3/8 in. Steel. Welds look good too. Seems solid enough to me.

Finally got it installed. Love it!

 

[zflyz]

Looks great.

Looks great, man. How much chin does the truck have, now and how much did that weight drop the front?

 

[RedTailRay]

also curious about your front camera and the pre-runner bar..? Is the front camera even adjustable?

It sticks out some but isn't obnoxious. As far as weight, I can definitely feel it. I'd say the whole bumper and winch combo is about twice as heavy as stock. I haven't taken any measurements yet but it did drop a noticeable amount.

No idea if it is adjustable or not. If you don't get the bull bar it won't block nearly as much.

Rough measurements look like about 24.5 in the front and 27.5 in the back. This is with the Auto Spring 2.5in spacers front and RAS HD in the rear.

That looks really nice! Looks like it provides quite a bit more wheel clearance since bottom insides of stock bumper in front wheel wells curve closer to the tires.
What's your total investment on that bumper set up?

I hope it was buck at least, I just want to know what type of sight system you have in your camera. You centered it perfectly, the reason I'm asking is I have to run deer out of my driveway every day because they wait till I run over the chestnuts and dehull them then come and eat them. Thinking of thinning the herd some.

Right around 2300 to 2500 all in. Winch included.

That is an awesome deal! Did you need to relocate intercooler to fit the winch or no?
