Ran up to see 100acre and found better campsite for the 4th. Next to a big creek it’ll be nice.

You weren't the only one to do this, @Cuoutdoors don't you have something to share?
Sunday night at about 9:15 PM As I pulled out of my driveway I thought...i should probably put my seatbelt on for the road. Took it out of "cheat mode" aka unbuckled the passenger belt from my latch and buckled my seat belt. I put it on when I'm not working around the yard.


I was headed to the neighbors going 60 down a back road when a fat doe came out of the ditch faster than greased lighting. I was still probably going 50 when I hit it on the passenger front. She tried to make an angle away as did i. The bumper is totaled, the mount tube collapsed and the bumper is pushed into the plastic. I think the plastic is salvageable. The black grill is broken in several places. The change in momentum broke the window latches and the window slammed shut. The radiator mount is bent but I think it's all repairable. I dont have my doors on and I'm really glad the deer didn't come into the cab.

If I had my old front bumper it wouldn't have even left a scratch. I miss it.

Kind of sounds like what happened to me but had no damage

Glad you’re ok. I’ve got to agree with you on your old bumper, that would’ve faired much better then anything it was attached to lol.

Got lucky ourselves this weekend.
We had some passengers from out of state along for the ride. I’d told them to buckle up, I heard a bunch of clicks then as backed up I heard the “tink tink” against the rear cage, I looked back it wasn’t buckled. He explained it wouldn’t come out so I tore it apart and about 5 minutes later it worked fine.
As we got deeper into the brush following a friend we were very close running on exact path, it was sketchy with side hill and heavy brush. Restricted as a walking path.
My friend got out and was sawing some crossed up trees down while my passengers got out to go bathroom, when they got in the group was just moving out with my daughter in front of me. We were behind a little and as we went through the brush the soft ground gave out on my right rear sending my driver wheel skyward, we sat there I had both feet on brakes As the rig teetered, we were already on tilted ground and after about 30sec of sitting like that I felt rear move again.
We had already looked out to see what we were faced with and knew it was around 15ft down, had calmed the group down and asked them to grab handles and heads down towards center. Every move inside the machine moved more dirt. She slowly went, I turned off engine and held on.
We landed on side 1.75 rolls. Asked everyone ok and we all were. By then the rest of the group got there lead by my daughter who had walked back to check on us. A couple people helped our group and tipped it back over. Couldn’t for the life of me drive it back up so she needed winched by my buddy but his rig moved so had to anchor to @100Acre as well.
Long story short I’m so glad heard seatbelt flopping around and took the time to make sure it worked. Would’ve been different outcome!
