It could have been worse. It looks to be just the bumper. The lights seem to be intact at my first visual assessment. I think my alignment is off as well. But I found a replacement bumper for $50 on Craigslist so maybe I can fix it for cheap.

I don't think its due to frame damage, but I am going to let the body shop make that determination. It just appears to be the bumper, which will be cheaper to replace than the actual cost of my deductible. I was only going 15-20 MPH when I hit the other truck. We shall see.
Stay tuned for more!

I guess you are lucky that the air bag did not go off...
Good luck!

Ouch that sucks when I first bought my jeep I hit two deer first one I hit going 135km and did 7100$ damage thanks for insurance, the second was foggy and only doing 70km only clipped my fender I built a bumper for it now so hopefully itll take the impacts better
