Well I hit a deer this morning. Does anyone know where to find the fender flares that came on the mark III trucks. I'm going to have to replace the
driver fender
Fender flare
Grille
Surround
Head light and Corner
And the bumper.


On the bright side tho. No one was hurt. I didn't try to swerve, i just slammed on brakes. There was a car Ridin beside me I coulda prolly missed the deer and hit the car but I decided to hit the deer instead of the car.

Also the app won't allow me to post pics so I'll try to do it on the computer later.

Well I tore down the front end. The core support was bent and also the fiberglass thing the holds the grill and headlights was broke a little. I was able to straighten the core support. I straightened the fender and fixed the fiberglass piece with a little resin and some mat, and I was able to get bumper lookin good too. Also I I went to the jy and was able to get a grille ( unfortunately it was a 98 so it don't match my bumper. ) and a set of headlights/corners for $50 I'm Goin back tomorrow to get the fender he has so I don't have to paint the one I have. If anyone knows about the markIII flares please let me know.

Wow, it's amazing that a deer would damage the front of these trucks worse than a Honda Civic. I rear ended a Civic back around Labor Day and totaled the crap outta her car. Only bent my bumper a little, broke my fog light, cracked the valance (barely), and a few scratches. Those deer are tough, lol.
