I got my ranger back!!!!!
A lot of you remember that my wife flipped my 09 FX4 up on it's side on jan 6 after hitting black ice. I picked it up from my ford dealers body shop last night, looks good as new. It sure feels good to be jamming gears again in my little truck.

My fords body shop does an excellent job, they built a new building just ford body work. They removed and replaced every dented pannel including the roof, there was no dent pulling or dent filling, it was all new ford parts welded and bolted on. I would stop in at least once a week and see them hard at work, it was like a ford factory in there. They also have a couple old ford in there that there restoring for people, so they can do it all, even fab work, great place. Kudo's to them on a fine job. They kept me informed on thier progress, they were allways nice and addressed my concerns. I have delt with this dealership for allmost 20 years because of there wonderfull service, all ford dealers aren't A-holes, some really care about thier customers. I want to give a well done to the boys at Harrison ford in Wellington Ohio and thier small farm town. I've found some advantages with using a small country town dealership over the mega stores. There's still honor in the farm comunity. Alls well that ends well, my truck is fine, my wife is fine. Best of all, she's afraid to drive it anymore hee hee!!!!!

Good to hear you got it fixed & your satisfied they did it right.
A really good professionally run Dealershp is hard to come by now days.
I too have a first rate Ford Dealer, Magic City Ford, in Roanoke Va, who has the right attitude, thats been a pleasure to deal with, who also operate a professionally run engine & body shop.
The Ford Factory & this Dealer stuck by me for three years, while we tried to resolve a really pesky, hard to find, coolant sipping problem on my then new 99 4.0L. We finally ran it down in 02 after years of tests & head & head gasket replacements.
So as Wendell suggested, if we find a good Dealer, stick with them & support them when you can & they'll be there to stand by us when we need them!!!!

I have pitures of after the flip, but don't know how to post them. As far as my truck, it looks exactly like the one on the 09 ford ranger brouchure, grabber orange FX4. Maybe I won't die ignorant and learn to post pitures, you can never tell. It's sure good to have my truck back!!!!!
