Aggggh! My ranger is broken badly!

Keep in mind, I have two rangers. This is the one back in Alaska. My sister is currently driving it and my dad called me today and said the spindle snapped. He explained that there is no body damage and that the rotor literally bent the caliper(and that the caliper held it up so that the body didnt get damaged).

I know you guys will ***** that there are no pics, but my dad was around to see the birth of jesus christ so it will take him a while to get pictures sent to me, possibly my sister will have to send them tuesday.

But here's a pic of my truck unhurt.

That sucks. Try reloading, one of the images is photobucket(and its working) and the other is myspace(and its working).

If you're talking about the pic of my truck, its just the truck in working condition, so you're not missing out on much haha. I'll have brokeass pics later

ok im confused did the steering knuckle snap in half? if so that would explain why it didn't fall enough to do any body damage... you may need new cv joints on that side too
