Quite a bit ago I remember a guy posting the pictures when he was riding through that place thats a swamp and a gator grabbed ahold of his front bumper.  As it was happening he took pictures.  It was a red 4x4 if I recall with a black rack bumper type thing that was mangled a bit from the gator.  I had the pictures saved but I cant find them anymore and nobody believes me about this one haha just my luck.  So does anybody remember the thread name or maybe they have the pictures saved?

There was another picture in that series that showed where the gator punched a hole into the bar with his tooth.  It was a pretty wild story, although I don't think I would have continued down that trail if the gator wouldn't leave.  The way he told the story, he rode over the gator after it had settled down into the water; he thought he would scare it away by running towards it.  Silly boy.   Cheesy

Well if your tail got run over by a 500 lb quad with a 400lb guy on it you'd be pretty pissed too Shocked


If he wasn't smart enough to take pics it would have been a real tall tail. I don't seem to have the pic of the puncture in the tubing.

.....LOL Sorry budman, actually he may be buckfitty soaking wet Grin
