I had a "lowly" Base SAS first and loved it, just had an oppt'y to get this Raptor....the push bar is from Stickerfab, not expensive at all, and literally took 5 minutes to screw on!
In Texas, if you hit a cow on the highway, it's the rancher's fault for not maintaining his fence and he could be liable. However, if you're on their property and hit a cow (say, on an oilfield lease road), you're absolutely liable for it. Guaranteed that whatever cow you hit, it will inexplicably end up being his most prized show cow that costs several times more than what a regular cow would cost.
Is it Bronco MEATS cow? Sorry for your loss but do you get to fire up the grill at least?I hit a cow on the way home. Black cow and dark rainy roads don’t mix. I only saw it’s eyes eyes and stomped on the breaks but still managed to hit it. At least it wasn’t a huge cow and I was going below the speed limit. The air bags didn’t deploy and nobody was hurt (besides the poor cow that is). It would’ve been way worse in a sedan or anything lower than a Bronco.
The grille, air condenser, radiator/support and fans are damaged beyond repair. A lot of crumbly plastic pieces broke as well. The mod bumper appears to be undamaged. I have no idea how long the repair will take. I can only hope it will be quick. Stay safe everyone.
Disagree since the bumper wasn’t damaged. If it was hard enough to cave the bumper. Yes
I'd say this puts him on the horns of a dilemma. All I can truly say is that I've got a fever and the only cure is more cowbell.
So many puns
Sorry you are dealing with this and I hope it's a quick fix. I noticed in your profile pic that your turn signal bar is amber instead of white. Did you modify your factory signature lights or are those aftermarkets?So many puns
And holy cow are those signature headlights expensive. I was quoted $1,500 each with shipping and tax.
It’s a Forscan mod. It only works when the DRLs are on and not in Park. The DRLs are white when the headlights are on.
Looking great so far!Quick update. Got the first batch of parts in. I installed the fans, radiator, radiator support, top active shutter assembly and the grille. I'm searching for a shop to install the AC condenser and do the R1234YF refrigerant refill.
For lighting, I went with the Morimoto XRGB headlamps, the Oracle triple fog-lamps and a generic set of ditch lights wired up to the uplifter switches all off StickerFab.
I'm still waiting for the hood, OEM grille letters, front camera and various other plastic parts to arrive. It feels great having it back on the road (event without a working AC in 90F weather). Shout out to @StickerFab for the awesome service.
