It is hard to tell from those pics.... Looks like all those other parts should be fine... But if they are bent, then they need to be replaced!

Those last pics seem like the truck is at your house? If so, that won't help the ins. co. to hurry along. I found out once the hard way to not 'save' them any cost or trouble. By keeping it home, mine wasn't paying a storage fee on it so they seemed to have taken longer. Also, there is a vast difference between different ins. co. That is also a thing that you just have to shop around for. Basically you will never know unless you experience it (Like you are currently) or ask the right people. If you can find a person who deals with this daily (Like at a body shop) and will tell you the truth, then they can be a great source of who you want and who to stay away from. Basically you can figure it out just by their commercials. If they continually advertise then they have a large turn over of customers and constantly need to find new ones! Usually constant advertising is a bad sign. I don't know how we feel here about naming but I could list a few that I know I would recommend to stay away from.

I just got a Road Armor front bumper with the optional grill guard. I really like it! I am pretty sure looking at your truck that it would have prevented any damage to your truck in this instance! They are spendy to purchase outright; but, it would have saved you any damage and down time in this case! I will try to get some pics up of mine. I would highly recommend it! Only draw back that I can see is that it is about 100 - 150 LBS heavier than the OEM and if you are in a wreck (That has enough force) then your frame will be bent! I was told this: "Let's say you are in a wreck that cost around $5,k of body damage with your OEM bumper. Then get in the same wreck with that Road Armor and it will destroy your frame. It is no big deal as you can have your frame replaced for the small fee of only about $15,k".
The way I look at it: the Road Armor will protect and save money in small hits and if the impact is hard enough to destroy the frame of the truck, it will still protect my family. At that point the truck becomes a 'sacrificial anode' anyway. The main thing is to keep my family safe! If it costs me the truck, then so be it!
Another thing we should all be doing is to add deer advoidance devices to our rigs (All of them! Especially smaller ones . . . Like motorcycles!) The cheap ones will work above 40 or 50 MPH as long as bugs don't plug the small hole in front. The ones we should all get are these:

I know they look to be expensive but the alternative is much more so!! (Not having them!) After the first deer I hit, I put on the cheap wind whistle kind. We were on a road trip across the whole U.S. After installing them and traveling at freeway speeds, I noticed deer stopping what ever they were doing and watching me go by. Then as I was almost past they would return to eating or walking. The only time that whistle didn't catch their attention is when they were already in a full run.
The electronic, powered whistle I linked to is a much better device. I found his site some time ago, and I think I read on there that he has lost several family, friends to deer strikes. That is why he invented the device. Watch the CNN video on the home page. I am ordering some for my vehicles right now. It seems expensive, but it is much better than not having them. I also have to call my ins. agent this morning. My son backed into a friends new car. The small 'scratch' dent will cost $3,500 + to fix. My son's '85 W250 really didn't sustain any damage . . . . So I think some bright back up lights are going to be installed. (In fact, on all my vehicles! Especially the ones with tint. I think that contributed to this 'dent'.) I'm also going to install some very bright LED strobed brake lights on all my vehicles. Before you tell me they might be illegal; I'm not even going to check! I don't care! My wife was rear-ended late last year by a business 1 ton delivery van. It totalled our little Corolla. My wife still suffers from the wreck. I don't know if it was texting or just talking on a cell phone that contributed to the wreck. Only good thing about it was that their ins. is actually covering (And finally starting to pay for) the damages and medical bills. The driver didn't seem to hit her brakes at all before striking my wife (Who had come to a complete stop 30 to 45 seconds earlier!). I am hopeful that these extremely bright strobing LEDs will catch the attention of in attentive drivers in the future.

I'm making this way too long (A trade mark of mine!) My main point in all of this is just to make things as safe as possible. I would recommend the Road Armor bumper and some other devices. If anyone wants, I will try to get up a pic or two of it on my truck. I will have to say that it gets noticed lots!! It may be my imagination, but I think people are actually giving me a little wider birth too! That is a great thing! Most just don't realise an 8,000 LB pick up shouldn't have to brake that hard to miss them.

 

This is why i have found a ranchhand to be a very good inevestment. We have them on all the trucks. The 02 dump truck has hit 50+ all over 70mph, my 02 has hit 10+ (but mine were on purpose), 99 has hit 40+ all over 70mph. But i do live in the over populated southern iowa were i can hit a deer every day of the year if i wanted.

 

What does the eyeball looking at the truck yourself estimate say?

 

well im not putting a ranch hand bumper on my truck, personally i don't think they look good on my truck its green and chrome and its not a farm truck or a full time work truck i sled pull it and daily drive it. The pictures were taken the morning after right before i drove it to the body shop for the estimate so it sat at my house from about 12:30 to 10:30 when i drove it to the shop. The insurance company was dragging their feet to send an adjuster to look at it, the truck was at the shop the morning after i hit the deer and sat untouched awaiting the insurance adjuster untill this monday morning and the first estimate was wrote with out being able to get the hood up due to the damage, so the estimate went up after the shop opened the hood, the adjuster and the shop reached an agreement on price of $4600.00 and like i said the pictures do not show the full amount of damage. the lower core support was what took the blunt of the hit and that trashed everything around it the fan shroud broke off the radiator and the radiator intercooler and ac condenser are all shaped like a U the fan hit the radiator and looks to be bent so its being replaced also, and last but not least everything thats being replaced is all OEM parts.

 

Sounds like they are going to take good care of you! Finally!!
Like I said earlier; there is a huge difference between different companies!

 

i just had the exact thing happen to me on my 96, found place in cleveland called certifit got a brand new chrome bumper for 89$ the bottom grey valence for 20 even as well as the black valence for 20, all brand new original parts made to fit exactly like oem for half the cost. when i hit my deer the top of the bumper was a 1/16th of a inch from the inercooler and pinched the smaller cooler in the front but didnt bust the core. close call there

 

Yeah insurance companies suck! The damage on my truck from my accident in July was $1800, all front-end stuff not as bad as yours, and they said my insurance might go up to $4600 a year....I have only one speeding ticket on my record from a year ago, and NO accidents other than this one... insurance companies drive me nuts. I will tell them if they do that they can cancel my policy, purely on principle. I'll go through someone else even if it's the same rate just to show them that they don't own me.

 

yea ive fought with this insurance company for a few years now and ive had it with them i spend all this money ever month and never late anything i have one point on my license so my rates are affected by that but they keep trying to raise my premiums when my policy renews i have to call and threaten them to make it right, then i have this happen and they say get it to the shop and well get someone out their the next day so i do it and it sets at the shop for a week before someone shows up, the guy that owns the shop told me for the time its sat at his shop it could have been fixed already. i had to go to my insurance company and bitch then call my claims adviser and bitch and threaten them too get something done but i pass the shop everyday on my way to work i seen it inside today its going back together and the shop owner said if he didnt run into any problems with parts or anything i should have it back by the end of the week so im looking forward to getting my truck back.

 

if u wann see what it would look like with a aftermarket bumper, u can look at my pics, sme color as urs

hope they get urs fixed asap

 

My wife hit a deer with the Jetta and we have progressive Insurance. They asked if we wanted to use one of their approved shoppes (repair then has a life time guarantee) or use the shop of my choice. We went with their shop and we had the car back in 5 days. They put on new hood,front fender,bumper and headlights. I was happy with the speedy repair.
