haha yea it was pretty amazing the radiator wasnt even touched. Although, i think if it were a deer the radiator would have been gone and maybe some other stuff along with it bc deer are taller ya know. when i hit him the bears body was prob no higher than my bumper u know so it hit the bumper and just went under. the damage to the grill and lights and side panels were probibly from the traffic cones haha.

After the troopers came and took care of the bear and saw the damage to my truck they asked me if i wanted to keep the animal... i wanted to say some wise *** remark bc my truck wasnt drivable since the bumper was pushed all the way into my front drivers side tire (which they pointed out to me! haha)... but i had to be respectful bc theyre cops... and i had a lot of fireworks in my tool box haha.

 

ouch, time for a ranch hand.

they're bullet proof

 

heres a couple pics about 6 months after the accident, cant even tell!... and a few additions... i got the grill the day before the trip and was gunna put it on the truck but didnt have time.... good thing i didnt. And theres an intake thats not in the pics... shes an infant bomber but she'll be a blown out bomber shortly haha.

i plan on puttin dual 4" MBRP exhaust, turbo back... but i dont want to void my warranty so im still deciding on that one.

 

is that still the same license plate

 

no, thats from giving someone a little love tap haha, i pushed my buddys dodge neon though an intersection. It wasnt a busy one but a few ppl saw and were entertained .

 

 

Wow I would of thought a bear would of done more damage.

LOL we use to push each other around with our plows when I lived up north. It gets people attention when 2 trucks are playing bumper cars.

 

I thought a 250 pound bear getting hit about 75 would of done a whole lot more damage,looks like you got lucky. Glad no one was hert or your truck was damaged more than it was.

 

wow ive hit plenty of deer but never a bear, at least no harm was done to the frame or engine.

 

i was shocked too when i heard the news from the body shop that it was just body damage... really! the only damage the bear really did was bend my tow hook on the right down a little, and just screw my bumper up. the rest was the dozen traffic cones i hit after tryin to get control of the truck back after impact haha.
