The deer around here are in rut, and hunting season opened a several weeks ago. The area between here and Austin are thick with deer. One jumped out about 30 ft in front of me last Friday when I was coming back home and was gone before I could even hit my brakes. I hate driving that road after dark. There is a reason for deer to be so addle brained. Drivers that drive stupid...not so much. Some drives scare me to death!


Got in the Ram and ran to Post Office and do some other errands today. Think I will take it to Austin this week. Less gas milage that Tacoma, but a more comfortable ride. Been trying to drive it a little each weekend when I get home to keep battery up and make sure everything is OK.

 

my aunts boyfriend totaled his Subaru 9 days ago after he hit a deer. apparently this deer was not quick enough.

 

I am all mobile today, but I will try to get something up in a few minutes.

 

The rock has natural colors of yellows and browns/tans, etc. My sliders don't touch those rocks. They are multicolored b/c I had my girls paint them.



Wombat -- Now you're gonna get a build on!!

srsly -- sorry about the wreck. it's like once you've got it set....another bite in the ****.

 

I had thought about that, just didn't put it in the thread..

 

My bumper was using brackets from a stock bumper, so it was pushed in pretty bad. The entire impact was focused on the one corner for my truck, but for the other guy the impact was spread over the fender and both doors, so it looks worse for me. It's kind of embarrassing haha, but if I had the 1/4" plate steel brackets I used to mount that bumper to my power wagon, or something similar, it wouldn't have budged. Without further ado...

 

For the Ford axle?

 

Sucks Wombat, but it doesn't look too bad. Gonna keep the pending check and fix her yourself?

 

Were you locked up prior to the hit?

Heck yea I am! It needs a head light, fender, hood, core support, frame horns straightened, grill, bumper brackets, and then paint. I figure when I hit up the dealer for an appraisal and have the check cut to my name I might be able to pay for the entire truck, everything I've done to it, from start to finish


Fingers crossed... Gdstock I might need a crash course in body work... Otherwise this thing might end up spray bombed. Maybe I will get lucky and find straight red body parts in the yard with good paint!
