How my truck got the name Deer Dozer
 

your pic didn't show up, and after hearing the story i reallyyy need to see this!!

I've never hit a deer in a passenger vehicle (knock on wood). I've hit a total of 7 while driving a truck, though.

my ex co worker hit a deer in a 2003 silverado and it busted the transmission coolant line from the radiator and the shop he had it towed to ended up driving the truck into the bay and around the property, no trans fluid in the truck and they destroyed his trans, he ended up having it rebuilt twice

i hit a deer going about 55 in my moms kia rio 5, i hit several dogs, one in my moms kia n a pup in the blazer

my moms kia vs the deer = 4.5k worth of dmg

moms kia vs pup = 0 dmg

blazer vs dog = 0 dmg

i hit them goin like 30

i didnt total the kia, just broke the rad support, messed up the fender, hood, a piller a little n the front pass door

drove just fine no alignment prob no frame bends

all i did was it blew the low beam part of the headlight, dented the bumper, and the plastic bumper(valance), and knocked the turn signal bulb out of the socket and bent up my license plate, but when it hit the bumper it broke that factory weld to the frame on the bracket, didnt give me any driving problems, i did even know he was there untill i pulled into a gas station 45 minutes after i hit him to look at the damage, because when i turned the front wheel re-ran over his carcass, lol, when i got out i fell to my knees holding my stomech laughing, did this back when my engine was knocking too before it blew lol, so anyway i replaced all the grill and headlights and poped the buld back in and all was fine(except for cosmetic damage) so i drove it like that untill this past march and finially got my bumper and valance off ebay and i rewelded that bracket back, he hit so hard he warped the steel bractet, i had to hammer for an hour before i got it straight enough for the bumper to be lined up right, another part of the story was, this happen at 12 at night in the gas station parking lot some guy was pumping gas and he looked pretty drunk but i went up to him after i kicked the deer off the hook and said dude can you help me right quick, he said probably not but what you need, i said, i need you to help me throw this body i have wrapped in a tarp in the back of my truck, oh god he about had a heart attack untill i told him it was a deer lol!, when i got home i just cut the part of the valance that was hanging there off, little bit of unpluging and repluging, lil grinding and welding with some eldow grease, truck looks like it does the day i bought it, brand new front cosmetics and silverstar performence headlights and nice new crome grill, good as new, hell of a funny story though lol, but i was shocked to find it was the entire deer, head body all 4 legs and tail too

deer dozer and crash test
 

I aint never hit a deer in my blazer but i seen the crash test for a 98 blazer on youtube and it aint pretty. one of the top 10 worst for front end collitions

yeah i kinda dont agree with those videos, all i seen them do to blazers is run them into solid walls, how many people actually hit solid walls at 60mph, its simple physicals, a blazer is a good little truck to take something on head on(smaller than it) its got a nice hunk of weight, its not rocket science that blazer hit a toyota prius in the front the blazer is ganna win, and generally speaking anything weighing less than the blazer is ganna have SOME give to it, i plowed through bambi and it only felt like i had a pot hole, i didnt even slow down 5mph, but i hit him JUST right so it didnt do any damage

i seen that video of a blazer hitting a wall, i was thinking

"im not running into walls anytime soon"

Picture didn't show up! :D

And no, I never hit a deer. Hope to never hit one.

Picture didn't show, and I have never hit a deer with my Blazer. I guess its dumb luck. (shrugs) Oh well.

lol I've attempted to hit deer before with no luck... chasing them through fields is fun thou

I swear this deer appeared out of thin air:

back to deer, I have never hit any deer in my blazer, hit 2 telephone polls though. Both were at low speeds (less then 20 mph), one fell asleep going reverse (was only tired no alcohol or drugs). Another, either hit a mustang or take the poll...took the poll. Both times was only cosmetic damage, no mechanical or electrical damage at all.
Last summer a deer committed suicide on my mom's van(GMC savanna van 1500 frame), radiator, trans cooler, and condenser were eaten by the fan (approx 45 mph) and this winter wile en route to a fire call another deer decided to end its life via front end of my dads pickup truck (dodge 2500) with a plow on it (50 mph) no damage to plow and Bambi was in several pieces (picking her out of everything was not fun).

alright i like the furry tow hook man, seems a little more heavy duty than mine...

OUCH. The poor deer.

whaaaaa poor deer? thanks to the deer i had a buck tooth blazer untill i decided to fix it lol!, its just the typical J shape tow hook that bolts to the frame

Did you fix the deer? Ha Ha.

mmmm make some deer bologna and jerky out of it

yeah i fixed up, wrapped him up in a plastic tarp and we both went into the woods at 1am when i got home, and only 1 came back, ha, actually i WAS thinking about cleaning him up for deer jerky but like i said i draged him for 45 minutes not knowing he was there, by the time it found him i had all kinds of gravel in him and plus i kinda busted his blatter and tainted the meet, look at it like this, atleast he wont get shot durin huntin season

lol or hit by someone in a little honda

Looks like someone had some dinner.
