Desert bit us....rollover pic.
My 19 YO son has built this truck pretty well. FabTech spindles, shock hoops, Fox resevoirs(sp?) glass fenders, pre-runner bumpers, 33 mud terrains. Has videos of jumping truck and basically tearing it up. The Ranger has NEVER complained with over 40,000 miles of abuse!!
Well, front right tire explodes during a 50 MPH sweeper in the desert and truck ends up rolling once and resting on the pass. side.
Pulled the plugs today, cranked out the oil......changed the tire and are driving it!!! Ford commericial anyone??

"Ford commericial anyone??"
Sorry. . . I can't help myself - Commercial has the music from a few years ago, but, plug in:
"Have you rolled your Ford, late-ly?"
Seriously, though . . . I hope everyone is alright! Ouch!

Wow. Poor truck. Hope no one got hurt. It looks like the front glass fender held up better than the metal door. Do you have the racing vid available somewhere on the web for us to download and watch?

The next two mods were/are going to be a 3 link rear with coilovers attached to a cage and custom fabbed extended control arms.
We've already found a cab from a super cab...........maybe install that with rear glass(fiberglass bed) trimmed for the short wheelbase....sort of a super cab Ranger with a sport trac bed.
Anybody good at photoshop?............Rob?(RocketScience)
