Damn. Maybe I should tie some dead deers around my truck for added protection.

BTW. How are/were you liking those tires? I had thesame set previously and I got just about 70k miles out of them and only one was just about bald.

They might seeing as how the airbags went off. My sister hit a deer with an 2008 F250 and the airbags went off and they was the reason they totaled it. I wish you and your truck the best though, good luck!

LOL!

Well In my opinion, I wasnt too satisfied with them once i got them into a little mud, but that could be cause i didnt have it locked into 4x4, and I stoped. (stupid)

I put them on about 2 years agoe,probably put 30,000 to 40,000 miles on them. I was thinkin that i was gonna be needing new tires before winter hit. I was thinking of goin with General Grabber AT2's but now i dont know.

That sucks Cowboy. Well, hopefully the insurance adjuster doesn't total the thing. The problem with our trucks is, they don't hold their value (compared to other mid-sized trucks, Tacoma). As long as the cost to repair "X" is less than the value of the vehicle "Y", then it should not be a total-loss claim.
