Default Saying Goodbye to the Ranger

Well everyone I had a good time with my Ranger and it was a great truck that eventually saved me and my girlfriends life.

Before:


After:






I just purchased a 99 Ford explorer with the 4.0 SOHC motor in it so i guess I will start over and begin modding that one. No matter what I wanna thank a bunch of you guys on this forum for helping make my truck what it was and helping me with advice on how to fix some of the problems I had.

Thanks,

Stepside4x4

I have made my car look like that in the past... Scary isn't it!
Sorry for your loss, and good to see you're okay.

that's right, you gotta admire a vehicle that allows you to walk away from a rollover like that.

i'm glad to hear you got an explorer too, keeping it in the ranger family. post a couple pics if you can!

I was on a dirt road going about 30 mph and the back end started to fish tail as I topped a hill. I hit a ditch and snapped the back tire off the axle and it flipped across the road twice

The insurance bought the truck but I did get my radio and toolbox out. I'm putting the radio in my explorer but the toolbox is for sale in the classifieds section
