No really, it is!
This...
...ate a chipmunk and what looks like a birds nest with 3 eggs in it.
I gotta get the pictures off of my friend's cellphone.
I did brakes today and had the truck up in the air. I pulled the driver's side rotor off and there was this crusty, charred thing sticking out of the vent on the rotor. I looked at the dust shield and there were tufts of hair stuck to it. I looked inside the rotor and there was this badly charred body of what looks like a chipmunk stuck in the vents. Don't know when it got there but it looks like the truck sucked it up while driving down the road. Had four little black pegs where the feet got burned off. It was quite disgusting. That wheel doesn't feel like it's out of balance anymore though!
The birds nest, looks like it fell down between the bed and the cab. There were broken shell pieces with some feathers stuck between the walls. Well, the bird must have used nylon string in the nest at one point because it looks like the drive shaft snagged the string at some point, ripped the whole nest down and wrapped it all up. The eggs must have still been in it because there shell pieces all over the bottom of the truck. Most of the nest was wedged in the rear u-joint too.
A few years ago, I had to replace the upper grill because a bird got wedged in there on the highway and cracked a huge chunk out of it. It fell down behind the bumper and got baked on the intercooler heat exchanger and oil cooler. Took 3 hours of cleaning to get all the stinky bird goo out of it.
I also tried to avoid a rabbit one time but he ended up getting caught by the passenger front wheel. Must have bounced up into the wheel well because I remember hearing thumping for a half mile or so then it stopped. There was rabbit goo all over the wheel well. Took a good bit of scrubbing for that too.
I'm usually kidding when I say it will eat children and small animals if I'm not careful. I'm starting to think it's true!
