Already have that part figured out. TF HD front bumper plus Land Rover A-Frame brush bar welded together. I dont like how traditional bull bars look, and I want a very clean almost stock look on my truck. So I figure, paint the bumper to match the color of my truck and add a LR a-frame to it and it will be hard to tell that its aftermarket.

I also figure that with a 3" lift on a already tall truck, maybe an animal such as a Moose will be less likly to roll over my hood and through the windshield VS tiny *** cars that strike the legs at high speed forcing the body of the Moose to roll over the hood, through the windshield and collapsing the roof.

Sounds like a joke but in all seriousness.... Im very serious about this. There are tons and tons of Moose, Deer and Bear up in Alaska, more than in New England. People hit them all the day time. So I want to do everything possible to help decrease the odds of me striking one. My plan is the above mentioned HD bumper, upgrade braking, Deer whistling device, and a LED light bar mounted on the bumper. I want any animals traveling over the road ways to hear me coming before ever I reach them and I want to be able to see far far ahead of me so I have time to brake. I need great brakes that will stop when before I hit the animal and I need an HD bumper in case all else fails.

 

Put spikes on the front, free dinner.

 

Sounds like a lot of work. Id look into this if I were you.

Sorry I can't help but chuckle at this Elk/Moose rated bumper idea. Deer, small trees and ISIS thugs are one thing. But then your windshield will also probably be smashed as well. You will need much more beef on the bumper than what protection a TF will offer to be moose, Elk or Big Foot proof and not get twisted up.

 

You're going to want something a little sleeker than the TF though, more along these lines.

 

I hit a smallish deer (4' to it's back) at 50mph 25 years ago in a Rover 827 (Honda) and it virtually totalled the car. It smashed the front, hood, windshield and flattened (reshaped) the roof. Lot of damage so a bumper is a pretty useless addition for even bigger animals as they will sail over the top of it onto the hood at least. You need the full monty Aus type 'roo bars to stop any serious damage from even medium weight animals.

 

I hit a drunk sasquatch in a bearskin coat riding a 3 legged moose chasing a herd of pigmy elk wearing alaska state trooper uniforms once... or twice can't remember. Barely knocked my hat off.... and all I had was a pair of terrafirma sunglasses.

 

There' s the BEEF! BigFoot, Moose/Elk nor Grizzly will stand a chance!

 

Hilarious....LMAO!
