[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 4171396, member: 14646"] I commute 108 miles each way for work. Both ways in the dark this time of year. Drive a company F250. After the first time I made pink mist (literally) out of a doe on the long, dark, narrow stretch of Hwy 48 doing 70mph I had this Ranch Hand put on my truck. Hit my second deer on Hwy 16 three months later and it didn't hurt the bumper a bit. Last month I unfortunately his a big dog on Hwy 48 at 70mph and it put a slight bend in the lower bar on the bumper. THe dog would have done serious damage had the factory chrome bumper been on the truck. Not everyone can put one of these bumpers on there cars but the deer and wildlife are why my wife will never drive anthing smaller than a large SUV or 3/4 ton truck. I will tell you, if you've never hit a deer crossing the road you'd be amazed at how fast the hit/accident happens from the time you see the deer to impact. Incredibly fast! The deer also blend in extremely well with the sides of the road. I also put a set of these lights on my truck with switch that allows me to see very far down the hwy and on the shoulders compared to the factory headlights. I do use them on the Hwy when there are no other vehicles within a half mile coming my direction. THey may only be 4" diameter but they throw a hell of a beam.
