Jeep 1, Deer 0

So I flew out to Philly to pick up a my new Jeep on Saturday. About 10 miles outside of 270 on 70 I hit a deer doing about 75mph. I went ahead and got off the next exit to take a look at how badly I had messed up my frontend. I was amazed by what I saw. There was zero damage! (note: the gap in the bumper was there before) Just a little bit of deer guts on the bumper and side of it.

The worst part was trying to get the fat off the bumper.

 

On that note, my new toy is a 91 Cherokee 5 speed 4x4 with a 3" lift, 4.7L crate and a bunch of other goodies.

The unique thing about it is the exterior and interior are both painted with bed liner. Its neat, I like the idea I never have to worry about waxing it.

 

Its a good start but still needs a lot of work.

 

I like it, its fun to drive and doesn't get half bad gas mileage.

Interesting exterior for sure, doesn't look half bad though. Funny story though cause I about hit a dear on 270 about an hour ago. Getting on 270 off of main street and this deer was just standing in the exit lane.

Sounds almost like when i hit a deer a couple weeks ago, or i should say a deer hit me. driving along normal ones in the road so i slam on the brakes doing prob 70 and here comes out out of the side slams into my denali, not even a scratch. a couple brown hairs on my door handle.

Awesome, I want that. Or maybe an older 4Runner. And I don't think it was luck. IT was that huge, pissed off bumper that saved your new jeep. Good thing. I've never seen a whole truck painted with bedliner. I did do the bottom panels on a Dodge truck a long time ago. No worries about branches and rocks when you go offroading now!
