Deer verses 4Runner – 4Runner wins…………..sort of

How are the headlights? :cheers:

They are amazing, $$$$ but worth every penny in my book! Excellent out put, nice wide spread, and crisp cut off. Alignment of both projectors are horizontally spot on, LW's did an excellent job.

I am jealous of wife's LS 430 no more!

Last update:

Two months later she's finally done :dancin: arty:

Picked her up tonight at the detailer. Clear bra installed - complete front end, headlights, full hood wrap including hood scoop insert, mirrors, both A pillars, and a 10" piece above windshield. Passenger front door and both fenders gloss sealed. Passenger front fender liner mod complete. AVS bug deflector installed. Just waiting on back ordered DRL, but as far as I'm concerned it's done!!!!

Very happy with how it turned out. Out of pocket expense after insurance was $700 ($500 deductible), not bad eh.

Saturday is our maiden voyage up to Jericho ATV park to meet up with some friends to tear up some trails..........umm, I mean ride responsibly :behindsofa:

One thing for sure, I'm not leading the caravan on the drive up...........lol :lasercannon:

This thread brought me back to 12 months ago. Tagged a deer at 50MPH in my new 4Runner. One month and $8k later I got it back in good as new condition.

Hey Jhalko, know you're on the fence about this mod, but last night was our first real experience with low beams without crapping weather. Heading back (late last night) from up north after a great day of riding 4 wheelers (6 four wheelers, one sport quad, three side by side's) with friends. Thought I'd share this photo for reference, sorry for the poor quality.



Light spread is phenomenal, H9 mod doesn't even come close!

Also happy to report no deer were spotted all day (or night) :naughty:

How did the talk with the insurance company go regarding the loss of value?

Unfortunately it didn't go well, there's a clause in my policy that prevents it. Although claim was a no go, my insurance company (Central) was awesome to deal with, never any hassles or pushback. Checks were sent in a timely manner and when promised.

Deer hit me.

Sorry to see this happen, but it could have been worse. This happened to me about 3 1/2 weeks ago. Darn deer jumped out from behind a wood fence and I had no time to react. Was done in like 2 seconds. Deer was dead and $1800 (including rental car for a week) later I had a new bumper, fender lining, and DRL's. No damage at all behind bumper outside of a few broken clips. Fender was find too. Was only going about 35-40mph.

Thanks. Glad no one was injured and damage was minor.
