Hit a feral pig the other night doing about 40 mph
pig weighed 150-200 lbs. any other vehicle and I wouldn't have driven away.
also lucky I had just taken the bumperettes off or the passenger side would have gone right into the tire

Wow, glad everything was ok. Nice excuse to upgrade the front armor huh?

 

[hawaiicruz]

Yeah I think I'm gonna go with a homemade double tube bumper.
the shipping cost of parts to the big island can be as much as the part itself

Are you on Maui? I lived there for 8 years.

Looks like you hit it square on - that must of been a waker-upper!

So....what did you do with the pig if anything? Inquiring minds and all that ~

* Glad to see nothing serious happened to you or the 80, now, did you eat the pig?

LUAU! Hey, that reminds me. I'm due for my friend's surprise luau b-day party in an hour!
We've got a lot of elk around here--one of the main reasons for my ARB. Glad radiator's ok.

And I thought the the factory bumper was a POS!

 

[luk4mud]

WOW I guess that's the island version of hitting a deer. Glad everything is ok.

 

[PHIL O]

I did the same thing to a 100-150 lb. whitetail doe about three months ago. Hit it square in the front end and went directly over it. I heard her roll completely underneath the 80. I stopped got out and was amazed that there was no damage. The was some white and brown fur in the plastic fog light cover. That was it. And to top it off she got up and ran off as well.

At least the pig or the deer either moved or got run over, my tree did not mved, worst, I get to see the dam tree every day I go to work.

it was up Hamakua, by pepekeo on the belt road, I had allready had 2 near misses in the last 5 years, those pigs are everywhere! The upside is anytime I want pork I can just go set my cage trap
