Drove from Austin to OKC Tuesday night. Went NW out of Fort Worth to try and avoid heavy rains and hail storms. Didn’t work, got into so big hail. I finally saw a mid sized oak tree about 40’ off the hwy. no idea how firm (or not) the ground was. Threw it into 4 wheel drive and went anyway and spent 15 minutes under that tree.

When I told my wife what happened she asked if I was ok. I said “me? This wasn’t about me! This was about protecting my truck!”
It worked btw. No dents.

Nice save! My dad had a gold 1979 Trans Am. Got caught in a hail storm. The car was never the same. It's nearly impossible to position the screaming chicken decal properly if replaced so he decided to live with the hail damage on the hood and keep the original decal.

You know the old saying, desperate times call for desperate measures! I got to the hotel at 1:00 AM and the front desk guy noted that I parked under a light and was all over the truck looking and feeling for dents. I told him sometimes truck guys are weird.
