Deer vs. Lifted Suburban =

[bowtiefreak]

Well, it's really dark and hard to see but that poor deer never stood a chance. Some scuffs is all I can see tonight. More info to come in the morning.

I was around 45MPH, never touched the brakes. He hit me on the side around the passenger front corner or there abouts. My wife freaked and had no idea what really happened. I assumed a big dent in a door. But I'm left with some scuffs, maybe a scratch and a bunch of hair on the running board.

Dang man! sorry to hear, hope the damage isn't bad.

From what I see with a flashlight, what is there will buff out by hand. I didn't even stop until I got home. The baby never even woke up and the dog didn't budge. A quick loud bang and that was it. I barely felt it....I may have run him over too....not sure. Not proud of that. Honestly it was the first deer I ever hit and we have a lot out here

Hope all is good.. that's how I hit my 1st deer. He actually hit me. But I bedside got smashed

get a pic of the deer and attach to grill for memorial and call the vehicle the deeraburb.

Jk

Bastard scratch my teflon coated wheel!

All the damage I can see:
Right rear tire:

Right rear scuff with some dirt:

Running board with scratches and hair. The door is scuffed but will buff out in a second

Front right wheel:

Moral of the story is the burb won. I needed to wash it anyway.

Wow, you lucked out on that one!

 

[bowtiefreak]

I know right. Stock height or lowered would be a mess. 6,000+ pounds of rolling fury wins again

 

[Gzes]

Nice. Glad you lucked out but should have brought it home and made some jerky

 

[fiatdale]

Nice. Glad you lucked out but should have brought it home and made some jerky

And sent us all some as a TYF care package.

Glad your okay. But seriously next time you hit something didn't see it al all and possibly ran it over after you have to stop!!!!!! I can tell you a very horrible story about somebody I know who didn't know what they hit and didn't stop at about the same speed and it almost ruined their life.

it was a deer, I'm sure of it. That's why title of the thread is what it is. I live in the country and saw him hit my truck. Would you like me to bag the deer hair up for you and sent it over?

hit one on power tour this year with my Camaro.$11k in damages but state farm let me up grade to ZL1 front end for difference in part price, $10.96. Quite a deal now it looks better than ever.

Time for any upgrade since deer is an act of God and usually no deductible.

 

[bowtiefreak]

Just washed the truck and a really small dent and minor scuffs. Blends right in lol.

I was wondering what ever happen to your car. Guess I missed that it got upgrades

I smacked one head-on last fall. I was able to see it and slam on the brakes, but still hit pretty hard. I'm REALLY glad I had the Westin brush guard installed. It took the brunt of the force and protected my grill, headlights, etc. Only damage was a bent lower crossbar on the grill guard. I was quite surprised at how well the grill guard actually held up and did its job, considering it's only held on with 4 small bolts.

hit one in my old lighting one time. I locked it up and almost got stopped but hit her anyway ... she spun around ran off then came back and ran full force into the pass door, while I was sitting still!!!! decided to SLOWLY drive away and she fallowed the truck about 20 yards and nailed it again WTF !?!?! after that I just gunned it and took off.

 

[bowtiefreak]

He was in a full run I saw him and he was basically next too me. I think braking would have been worse for me
