Watch out for porcupine's

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.

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.

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

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

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?
