So a mule deer ran out in front of me, I hit him, he got caught under my front end, I started to slide sideways, I rolled several times, got airborne just enough to jump a culvert and landed on all four tires. I don't remember any of it. I walked away and apparently called 911 and used my first aid kit to treat my cuts. I have no recollection of this.

Thanks for all the nice words everyone. I am not exactly sure yet what I am going to be replacing it with. It will be a Jeep but I own several other vehicles so I might just wait a bit. We will see.......Wear your seat belts folks!

Glad you walked away.

Sorry for the Jeep...

Any insurance response yet? Curious to see how they handle the mods, etc. What Insurance carrier if you don't mind my asking?

Glad your okay.

Ever get a front swaybar on that thing?

Glad I just had a extra $25,000 in coverage added to my KJ's insurance,they have copies of all my receipts and pictures so no hassle.

Wow :shock:

Glad you're ok, man. What, if any, effect do you think the SFA/ height had on the outcome? Would the deer have not gone under if it hadn't been lifted, or would it maybe have not fishtailed and gotten sideways if you hadn't had the SFA? Just curious as to your opinion.
