I rolled my ranger "pics"
On memorial day weekend i was down at the beach cuttin cookies. I was havin soooooooooo much fun rallin it and then i got real ballsy and cut a super fat cookie and rolled my truck 3 times and it did a 180. It was so awesome. Then a guy in a ranger drove by and rolled it off its side and back on to the tires. I didnt get injured nor did my passenger. But the cops wrote me a huge ticket for reckless driving. That sucked.
Good news though, my truck isnt totaled. The frame is still strait and the engine still runs. I just need to get a new cab. This is where the ranger forum readers come in. I need to fix my truck and although my engine still runs and i can drive it, it doesnt idle right so i need to figure that out. any ideas?
Total damage to truck:
busted out all the windows.
Cab is crushed.
Doesnt idle right.
/End
I love rangers man. My ranger protected me so well im going to drive fords for life. These things are durable. I drove it away from the accident scene.

Wow that will need a bit of work! Glad to hear you are alright, but depending on how good you want it to look when you're done you will obviously need more than a cab. Here's what I come up with off the top of my head; Cab, all the glass, RF fender, hood, boxand or box sides, doors, and depending on how bad the hood smash is maybe a core support, grille, maybe a headlight, battery, mirrors, and thats all I see from the pic. The idle deal now, I will take a wild stab at this and say, if your air box is on the same side as my 2.5, (pass side) then maybe somthing to do with the MAF? Or maybe a vac line?

You're a moron if you think rolling a truck is awesome. You're damn lucky you and your co-pilot were okay. It sounds like you could use some common sense. I love how people come on here with a rolled truck or major body damage and act like they are king **** because they did property damage.
I've been through it, and I learned a hard lesson, and that's why safety is first, especially if I have someone in the pass. seat.

I'm going to be the a$$hole again and say the thing that makes a lot of people hate me on here:

I'm glad nobody was injured.

i paid the price to have the best time ever. oh well - i mean i like my ranger but i love offroading. time to start workin on it. its not as bad as you guys think. What i was thinken was buy a ranger with a blown engine or something similar to that i could pick up for a few hundred dollars. cab swap. its still drives strait and runs. I just need to fix the idle problem. I havnt had alot of time to mess with it since the wreck due to a busy life but i have plenty of time now. I have never done something like this so it will be a fun project. I have people to help me in real life and hopefully i can get some more tips on here.
