Last deer I hit was in my 4Runner doing 70 MPH... there it was with no time to avoid the darn thing...

I have a brush guard on mine, with a small welded rack underneath the brush guard, where I have a 31x 10.50 tire mounted on top of....

Like several times before I centered the deer impact right there....deer parts went flying all over the place...

only attention the truck needed was to wash off the blood and fur from parts of it.. and off the spare tire mounted up there...

I learned that from owning a VW Camper with the spare time mounted on the front of it...

a tire can take one hell of an impact and shake it off...

pretty much the reason I have one up there even if it does look sorta hillbilly....but since I am from the border country of SE WVa and SW VA.. looking hillbilly doesn't bother me whatsoever..
