Deer steak for everyone
I think you can come up with a better story than a DEER.
anybody can hit a DEER.
I would have told everyone you hit a SASQUATCH
Glad your ok , I have a black Sahara as well and would really hate to see it that way. GOOD LUCK.

Glad that you're OK - that's what really matters, but I'm sorry for your temporary Jeep loss, just the same...

I was very surprised at how thin the fender sheet metal was. I knew the fender flare was just plastic, but the fender its self got bent up so bad that it cracked my power steering reservoir and pushed my air box back into the engine. Pretty sure it wouldn’t have done that much damage in my old TJ.
So now I'm in the market for a deer defending bumper. Something that sits a little higher and closer to the fender flares. I'm thinking the AEV or Fab Four bumpers would have helped in this case.

sorry for your loss... i would defintely pursue insurance for that much damage... and dump on so fun mods while i was at it.

Wow! Very sorry to hear about your Jeep. That totally sucks that it happened on the very first day of ownership. I remember the day I picked up mine. I was totally on cloud 9 driving home. When I first heard about the new 4-dr. Wrangler, I knew I had to have one, and I patiently waited for months, like so many others on here. To have something like that happen on the way home would have been devastating. I hope they get it all fixed up for you and that you end up with some nice upgrades as well.
Insurance didn't total it, but did pay for the repairs minus deductible ofcourse. I made 4 full payments before I got it back. I actually went and got it before the rear seat was replaced, it was still on back order.
Hopefully DC will get the parts out soon.
Good to hear everyone was ok.

Glad to hear everyone is ok. I think the deer are pissed cause we keep building condo's. I'm nervous myself now. My two best friends have also been hit by deer within the last month,they're not jk's though so its no big deal!!
