Trees fight back or try like hell!

I went out wheeling today and a downed tree took a swipe at my X. I had no problem going over it the first time, but coming back through that ******* came up swinging, ripped my front license pate off, bent my antenna, and then sucker punched my passenger side mirror. :fire: I was like, Uhn-Uhn, Oh-no you didn't. I took my mini-chainsaw out and melee'd it's ass. At least till I ran out of gas, then I go out my battery powered sawzall and finish the job. I hope it gets cold again so I can burn his ass up in the wood stove in my garage. When I got home I also found out that I had ripped a souvenir off that putz. I had part of a branch sticking out from between my hood and grille.

hahah that kinda sux...but atleast you took it well......do you even need a front kisence plate in VT?...if not it did you a favor....but that sux about the mirror.

In VT both license plates have to be visible; otherwise, have to be on the exterior of the vehicle. I received a ticket for having one of my plates in the back window because the rear screw holes on my Jeep were stripped.

I see it didn't break the mirrior though. I have a pasanger one that is just missing the mirror I'll sell you cheap

Don't need it, Gorilla Glue and electrical tape does wonders. Zip Ties do a good job as license plate holders too! Later - Nate

That sucks.

But I like the wheel and tire combo. Looks great on the X.

i always thought is was it was weird that the mirrors did not bend back

 

[greenmtnboy]

Actually forward in my case! The tree branch came up from underneath my X to hit my mirror in a quasi forward motion. I was really stoke it didn't break my mirror glass. Later - Nate
