    Goof-off has always been good to me. I think it’d work good for that ? OR I just remembered that Lowe’s sells something called “Zep” orange citrus cleaner which worked excellent on removing road tar off my wife’s Cadillac paint, that’d probably eork great too? Hope it helps good luck!!

    Sure did. Guy was driving a uhaul van and apparently thought it was a semi truck. Thanking the wildpeaks I had put on a few months ago or else I would’ve been pit-maneuvered into oncoming traffic. I wasn’t going too fast and there’s no damage to the frame/underneath other than a big dent in the rocker so I’m hoping it can get sorted out quickly.

    If not looks like I’ll be getting wile e coyote stickers like above haha.

    I dont like the look of flat beds, i like having fenders. I thought about tubing it out and laying the panels over the top, but without a cage to build off of it wasnt worth it right now. This setup wont last forever, ill smash it on some more rocks and have to do something else.

    I don't know if you thought of or someone recommended fiberglass fenders. You could probably get them to look OEM.

    I've been looking for a decently priced one for a while. Over priced and hard to come by

    Looks like it’s time for a fiberglass front end?

    Ya know? Believe it or not the way they Mske the fiberglass front ends these days are a TON different than the old 80’s days (showing my age here lol) you might be surprised how strong they are and they really look awesome. Just a thought but nothing my money or truck either ? Just my 1 1/2 cents which equals nothing. Lol. Lol. Good luck either way and hope you turned that damned Deer into “Jerky”.

    Right on! Good to hear.

    I was afraid that he got away because of the light reflection on their license plate in the footage. But karma will get that jerkoff one way or another. At least you armed yourself with the best mod you can have for any vehicle. :thumbsup:
