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 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...

Were you locked up prior to the hit?

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!
