Default Deer and D2's are not good combos
Hit a deer this morning and took out my grill and front (plastic) bumper. Same spot I hit a deer in my Jeep rubicon a few years back. Fun stuff.

So, the old adage does apply..."Those that can not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

As soon as I get mine on the road I will drive it down to SC to have my buddy design a low pro style one for me. Then he should be able to make them for the rest of y'all. #soon.

Default New bull bar
Would like to see what type and style you get. Just got my D2 this past Sept. So I am just beginning to upgrade and bling it.

My deer hit happened in mid-November. Grill survived, deer survived, bumper did not! I also have a nice cloven dent in the front of the hood. Not sure how was able to make that indentation and not take out the grill.

Over the past few years I've hit enough Deer that I should have a Hunting License instead of a Drivers License.

Why is it, when you hunt, you barely get a deer, but you drive and get one every couple years?
