Found the speed nuts I was looking for at NAPA today so I pulled the grille back off this evening and put the new FORD letters on. I know they ain't everybody's style, but man, those little red letters sure do pop and complete the front end! I thought about painting them white but we decided to...

I sure hope not. And unfortunately, I did not. I was in south Texas working when it happened.

Tried talking the wife into putting that bumper on hers but she wouldn't bite. Hahaha

This really was easy brother. I'm a hotrod fella and wrench on old cars and trucks pretty regularly. I was kinda surprised how easy this was to do being that it is new. It seems the newer the vehicle, the harder the manufacturer's have made it for the average Joe to work on it themselves. I have...

They definitely can push that "oh shit" button. Every single time we have a get together at our house the 1st thing we say to folks leaving is watch for the deer. We are in BFE north Louisiana and deer are everywhere, year round. I even gave my wife a hard time due to this little fact. HAHA

I have a buddy who hit a turtle on a bike. It was a bad day for him and the turtle. Bottom line, I don't wanna hit anything, not even a june bug, on a bike.

I tore it down to see what all needed to be replaced, got all the part descriptions and #'s together, ordered everything from the local dealer parts counter, and submitted pictures and receipts to the insurance company. I've received two checks so far. Still ain't done. I will admit, it is a...

From looking at pictures and watching videos of folks painting and modifying other trim grilles I would think so.

Removing and replacing parts was very simple. I only needed a few sockets, a few torx bits, a push pin removal tool, and three hose/line clamps to keep from losing all the coolant. I had a local shop pull down the AC system so I could replace the condenser and then had them recharge it. I did...

Decided to paint the grille edge body color. I think it looks and blends much better this way. Subtle change but a good one in my opinion.

That looks awesome! I want larger FORD letters for our Heritage grille. I like how you added the silver base/border and upsized them. Easily legible unlike the scrunched original ones that we have now. My wife hit a deer and I had to replace the grille and letters since Ford melted the posts of...

It is more than ridiculous! Prices for parts are a very small factor in insurance premiums though in my opinion. All the insurance companies want you to take your vehicle to their "trusted", "select", "platinum", etc. repair centers for a reason. And it ain't cause they do good work. It's all a...

Not the case this time cause I don't think this pony will ever leave our coral. If the wife ever gets tired of dailyin' it, I'll gladly take over. 😁

It is being covered by insurance. I chose to do repairs myself is all. I'm savvy with 10mm's and do not trust other folks to touch my vehicles. Been burnt too many times so now I just resort to doing it right the 1st time.....AKA myself.

I was a little shocked but extremely happy that steel bumper (thanks for a REAL bumper by the way FoMoCo) handled it without a ding.

I feel ya. I don't want them eradicated as I am an avid whitetail hunter and we eat deer meat almost everyday, but I sure wish they would learn to use their posted crossing zones for all our sake! HAHAHAHA

Almost $5K in parts alone from the dealership. Probably could've saved a little if I had time to shop around but I wanted all OE parts to go back on so the local dealer parts counter was my quickest bet. Here's the list: Radiator: MB3Z-8005-A Condenser: MB3Z-19712-A Grille shutter assembly...

Apparently I can't attach photos from my phone. I can send the photos from my phone to a memory stick then attach & upload from my computer. Pretty lame and will definitely hinder the number of photos I'll post as it's inconvenient and time consuming. Anyway, Here's a few shots of the damage...

:crackup: Not this one. I was in south Texas working when she hit it.
