Was doin' 55mph. Did not even see the deer (4 pt), everything just exploded. It's gettin fixed right now. $2200 in damage. Getting a blk sport grille, new JCR bumper, and some YJ flares, and the blemished hood will get a fresh coat of paint with the fender. I'll post up when done.

I did a write up in the fab section called "mini boatsides". I basically cut the rockers off at the bottom of the door sill and left a 1/4" to weld to. Then I cut the bottom of the rockers off at the pinch weld and bent the pich weld back. I welded a 6" wide 3/16" flat steel plate at the top by the sill, and bolted the bottom to the pinch weld. I tacked the steel to the pinch also. I plan on welding tie in's to the boatside from the frame.
