Sucks Larry, glad YOUR ok but think of it as upgrade time for the Jeep :pepper:

Thinkin of throwin the old factory bumper on mine to see if mileage goes up since momma is driving it so much. If it does then maybe we can tweek my franken bumper to yours if ya want :twisted:

ya know I have been tossin around the idea for a while now, plus not only that I really want to see if there is a gain in mpg :shock:

ORRRRRRRRRRR Larry could use some of that useless steel takin up space in his old "work shop" :SOMBRERO:

TAHOE · **Posted:** Thu Aug 09, 2012 11:03 am

Tom, does look much better. I've always hated those gray flares on ours, maybe paint them black someday or plastidip

Larry, glad you okay man. Sounds like deer and Jeep both got the bad end of the deal.

Well, if anyone ever wants to know how to fix a starter on a Twin Onan small engine, ....first ya got to pull it :banghead:

Good thing though I guess, needs drive belts and some other parts located behind engine.

KJWildman · **Posted:** Thu Aug 09, 2012 1:55 pm

Finally got pics up on photobucket. Doesn't really look all that bad. Just a few bent suspension pieces and a new bumper and will be ready for the next DEER!!!!! :ROTFL:

Already talked to the insurance guy on the phone, he said it sounded like a total loss! I guess he's gonna come and look at it first tho and then decide. I already told him if it's a loss then I want to buy it back! A complete new 6" suspension lift with all new springs, tie rod, control arms and all the goodies that got bent can be had for between $800 and $1000 or even less if I shop right!! :BANANA:

Of course there are more expensive 6" and even 8" long arm kits out there! :twisted:

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Aug 09, 2012 4:23 pm

mmmmm
guess I about tore both rear flares off at Bundy, knew they were a little loose
BUT finish cleaning it today and the right rear fell off in my hands :ROTFL:

Couldn't find the ones I got from HF so off to NAPA for some
Came back laid the ones ( rivits) down I just bought and there the HF ones were hanging in front of me :banghead:

Oh well spares for when I install the Rene flares :furious:

KJWildman · **Posted:** Thu Aug 09, 2012 4:37 pm

Starting to feel the muscles tightening up in the back and shoulders now :furious:

This is BS. Now that everyone knows I go offroading, now everyone wants to do it!

Co worker: Just looking at your Jeep and these tires, that doo doo looks fun as hell.

REALLY? :lol:

Larry bought some of them :-)r

was at my place laid them on the hood and ah well forgot to install them and they blew off somewhere along the road :banghead:

Those deer whistles don't work. When the Indian Highway Patrol had them mounted them their deer/car collisions actually went up. Most likely due to a false sense of security.

Well Butler bound this AM for three days
then Takoma Park Maryland for 3 days or so

I have them on mine

none since but then haven't had any jump off the hillsides down home like they did
so who knows like anything else very hard to prove

Deer whistles have been thoroughly debunked for two reasons:

1. Whitetail deer, for example, have a hearing range of about 2-6 KHz. Many whistles produce sound far above that level, so the deer aren't going to hear it.

2. The most important point is that deer have no instincts or learned behavior of what to do IF they could hear the sound. If the sound produced reminded them of a predator, they would run. If the sound has no evolutionary history, let's say that whistle was the sound of a giant bird that killed their young, well natural selection would favor those deer that ran away! Since deer probably don't pass on learned behavior, if one deer figures out that the whistle means a killing machine is coming, he can't pass it along to another deer. But even that logic is specious, since how a deer could figure it out. I suppose some deer might figure it out, but it would be "oh *&^^&*, that's what that whistle is trying to do......" CRUNCH.

Have a great time and enjoy! :JEEPIN:

this subject has been beat to death at work :banghead:

Depending on what deer whistles are used, yes they do work. We have had them our our trucks for years, some pencil pusher thought we should save thousands by not using them any longer because said debunking research. Guess what, deer collisions are up so much that they are relooking into them because we have never spent so much on body work before while we were using them. We used to see maybe 1 or 2 a year, always found whistles clogged with debris/bugs when the truck was inspected and also the driver would state he had never seen so many deer on that run before. Mythbuster need to be contacted but the facts of what is going on with our trucks kinda debunks the debunkers :jester:

On a different note..............................I found the piping for my frankenexhaust set up for my bike!!!!!! :twisted:

Now off to the shed for some hackin and wackin :pepper:
