My dad hit one a few years back in his stock 2wd,about a 120 lb doe going 55 or so,put a dent in his valance and took a small chunk from his honey comb. deer...Well that deer lost too

Come up here and see what happens. The deer here are avg 200 or so lbs. an if that doesn't hurt then you can try and elk..... you'll lose

You should have seen those 4 rooster tails,was pretty cool lol.
Id never sell or trade my truck for a chevy and the thing is my truck sits pretty high for a stock truck on 35s, i guess if i go deep i needa go real real slow, im thinki it came in from the grille,

Was only up to the bumper i didnt hit it too fast till i was in the middle i have it some gas to sling up some mud guess thats when it pushed some in, my thing is the coil packs didnt have that much water at all in the holes

Globs of dielectric grease may help out

Are you locked f/r? If so you shouldn't need speed to get through. I just keep the wheels spinning without going fast enough to make a huge wave.

I'm talking average lol. People pull 200+ pound bucks yearly,just gotta have the right property. I'm tired of hunting public land and getting nothing,I'm getting on a lease this year and hopefully will pull a few with the new rifle. I've been limited on where I could hunt because I've been using a shotgun with slugs,100 yards was my max with it. We're known for racks here,not body size.
