TOTALED MY RANGER

I rolled my truck today driving around a tight corner with gravel on one side the back end started to fish tail and i over corrected to the right and then it just started to rolled. Both me and my friend walked out of the truck with only small scrapes. That Ranger saved our lives and is a very tough truck im just happy about how strong it held up but it is totaled.

Thanks for all the help any one gave me i loved that truck.

Poor truck.




Next time, PLEASE slow down. It might not be a one-car accident like this one.

Yeah i want them to do the headlight mod... So you say 40.. i think i can do that but its gonna be a couple weeks. I gotta pay my truck payment and im starting a new job and they hold a weeks pay so it will be a few weeks if you wouldnt mind holding them for me.

man, if nothing else I have learned that the ranger is a very safe truck to roll in. It seems like everyone who has rolled their trucks on here has walked away from it.

Praise God you're alive. You are lucky....count your blessings.

Don't give up either. Body damage can be fixed. That Ranger saved your life! Your life can't be replaced or fixed.

I've made similar mistakes, but sometimes I need a good scare or tough lesson to actually learn from my mistakes. Don't ever drive a truck like it's a Ferrari again, and you'll live many happy days. Remove the distractions, and apologize to your friend for being dumb. Own up to your mistake, learn from it, and rebuild your ride!

Again...Praise God you and your friend are alive.
