Had someone run me off the road last night and into a fence. I hit the fence at about 35-40mph and took out 5 posts that are the diameter of a phone pole and about 3-4' tall. The guy never stopped. Went this morning and ordered a new hood, headlights, fog lights and mounting brackets for the 06-08 bumper along with the lower valence.

The truck actually held up pretty well I think. It needs an alignment though, it pulls to the right just a tad. The passenger fender is tweaked a little bit right above the headlight. I'm hoping it can be straightened.

Thanks guys. It actually handled the impact well, barely even noticed I was plowing through a fence

This is the hood I bought, I'm hoping I'll like it. It's a Reflexxion rfx705700. I really wanted an OEM hood but they are ridiculously priced. This one doesn't offend me but I'm really thinking I'll need bigger tires to pull it off.

I didn't realize that was the hood you had Will. I hope mine looks as good with it as yours does.

Hell, I could stock it with bass, sunnies, bluegill, catfish, turtles and frogs if I wanted. I had half a freezer full of bratwurst down here. They can have that, - it sat out to long dangit!
