Hey guys, Just trouble shooting here. I had a large doe ram me and get stuck between my tire and fender well. I then ran over her in the process of getting on the road: I was going about 60mph give or take. The Jeep is now making a chirping noise when accelerating: it’s lifted on 35s: Could the deer have damaged anything underneath my Jeep? ---

Yes it could have. Did you keep the deer? Some states allow you to take the venison home. ---

Haha, no there wasn’t anything left of it: her gut was busted. ---

The gut is the part you don’t want, except for the organ meat. Ribs, legs, shoulders, loin, are all good for food. If it was cold enough, maybe a homeless food kitchen get the meat. They do that in Maryland for road kill that isn’t overly ripe. ---

My wife ran over a Raccoon and it ripped the rubber around the CV joint. A much larger deer could have have done a lot more damage. Do a through cleaning underneath, then check it or take it to your mechanic. Everyone will appreciate the cleaning before looking underneath ---

The Jeep is going into the shop on Monday: we’ve cleaned it up the best we can: I’ve had three mechanics tell me that because my Jeep is lifted there’s no way the doe could beat the underneath: I told them to look for blood and hair and then tell me that: I had pictures of the blood and hair from under my Jeep: We shall see: ---

It was coyote kibble when my Jeep was finished with it. ---

Oh yes a deer can do damage to a Jeep. Moose do damage to diesel locomotives. ---

A moose would take out just about anything. ---

In NY state you are required to report hitting a deer and damage is covered under your comprehensive insurance which does not charge you with an at fault accident. ---
