Default AEV front bumper extra strong
My wife and I hit a big deer last night running about 60 mph. The deer hit right on the left front corner and there was no damage. The only thing we can find is the shackle went back and hit the steel that holds it and chipped the paint, a little hair in the front left springs, and blood in rear fender well and back bumper. I was sure the bumper was going to be bent back towards the wheel. I would say that makes the AEV bumper pretty strong.

Glad you guys stayed safe, and there was little damage.

Good AEV PR no doubt...!!!

Really is nothing to show. It is hard to believe that you cannot see any damage.

Glad to hear nobody was hurt. When I was younger we hit a deer and the hoof came through the window - not pretty. It destroyed the entire front end too.

Another reason I want with AEV bumper.
