I watched the video and nice to see but that was easy to detect the deer, we have a saying if you see one two more are following. Deer will hide in a stand of trees or brush and when they see your car light then they see well enough to cross. I have seen 5 bucks running across a field towards the highway, I told my wife I bet they jump out past the trees, I slowed down the guy behind me decided I was driving too slow and almost passed me when the deer ran across the Highway 2 in Idaho, the speed limit was 60 and I was doing 56 mph. That fellow got behind me and stayed there because he was not looking for deer and I was. I personally think FSD is not foolproof but I hope it works in most cases. I don't drive when I am tired or had a few drinks. When I plan a drive to another city that is two hours away I make sure to rest the night before and down a couple cups of coffee and get one for the road also I will trade off with my wife. We also have moose here, most cars can't protect you from a animal that size. Montana is behind Michigan for the second most deer contact with a vehicle just be vigilant and don't assume that deer are never in this section or area. We thinks it's funny when the state puts up a deering crossing sign, I tell my wife I didn't know deer can read road signs.
I don't see this every time I drive through Montana at night but there have been trips where I'd be driving through herds of hundreds of the smaller antelope on the side of the freeway and on the island. On one trip I think I counted at least 40 antelope that had been hit fresh that night on the freeway. Those antelope are not as large as the deer or heaven forbid a moose but for a normal minivan, they can still do a lot of damage. I'm thinking most of the fresh ones had been hit by the trucks that were also driving that night. Most of the antelope seemed to stay on the grass (they were clearly there to eat the grass). The freeway grass was nice and green but the fields on either side seemed to be much more brown and dry. Not sure why that was but it really made for a hazardous drive.
No. A moose might, though. They might bend the cabin to loosen the frame holding them in place.
Did you do a body lift on your jeep? and how much axle lift did you go to put on 40's?
body lifts don’t exist for JL/JT platforms. (Wrangler/gladiato)
I did not realize that the wheel opening are that big already, This was years ago but my wife had a Ford ranger 4x4(86') and she bought 1' offset rims which at the time she didn't know anything about it. Of course tires would rub badly. She was mad, I made her a custom lift of three inches at the time when no such thing exsisted. Plus put new coils and added a leaf to the rear. With the wider stance and better suited suspension it rode way better plus more clearence for off-roading.
one of my sales guys has his gladiator on 43” tires with about a 5” lift.
I had a Mazda5, which would destroy tires if they weren't rotated every 5000 miles.
