Watch out for porcupine's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

2low72 · 08-13-2005, 01:34 AM

Last night about one in the morning, I'm driving home from work. I get to about a mile from the house when i catch a glimpse of something in the road. by then it was to late to move and bam i hit a porcupine. So all of you with airbags watch out for them. luckily i have an extra 2600.

So where is the picture of the critter with the bald spot?

shifty · 08-13-2005, 12:17 PM

Did it actually deflate the bag?

2low72 · 08-13-2005, 12:44 PM

I didn't think it penetrated till last night i got off work and the driver side was lower then the passenger. so i'm going to change the bag out today and find out for sure how deep the quills went.

Joe67 · 08-13-2005, 01:27 PM

whoa - what are the odds

86swb · 08-13-2005, 01:43 PM

It must have just been the porcupines time.

Another animal willing to give his life to protest airbag suspension.

That airbag will be a good door stop and conversation piece.

matthufham · 08-13-2005, 10:17 PM

with good timing, you could of bagged the truck and hit it with the bumper.
that's a funny story, good luck fixing it.

Brainchild · 08-13-2005, 11:21 PM

He must have belonged to a gym to puncture an inflated airbag

Remember that pic of the dog and his whole face is full of quills?Poor dog

Americanrider · 08-14-2005, 01:46 AM

I have seen quills flaten a tire on a Jeep Cherokee before... those damm things are like stop spikes. Did you get a "Road Hazard Warrenty" with the bags?
