i messed it up good today it is fixable the other guys car is toast his back seat was touching his driver seat we were both lucky we walked away. when we finally stopped my front tires were in his truck pan.

 

Glad everyone's ok. Nice wreck.

 

damn suscks dude... whats gonna happen with it?

 

yea Ive fixed worse

 

Time for a front end swap. Sorry about the accident.

 

what kinda truck you hit

 

cant do a front end swap on a gen 3, the frame horns and mounting points are nothing close, not to mention the fenders and hood

 

haha looks like LMC is going to get a phone call

 

im really surprised your impact strip is intact, both times i got in a front end accident mine was trashed

 

Haha both times.

 

Joke dingdong.

 

im planning on tearing the whole front end off and taking the motor out it was leakin oil form some where. I think i am going to replace it with a 302 and make it a build up now i have another ranger for my daily driver so it will end up being a build. it was a la sabra his back fenders were past his back tires.

 

lol buick le sabre did that holy ****!

how fast were you goin?

 

Actually . . . you can . . . some member now named SteveOh did a 5th Gen front end swap to a 3rd Gen reg cab short box/flare side 4.0 5-spd.

1997ranger - Sorry about the accident man, keep us updated.

 

Smakes is at it again, spreading misinformed information...


sorry about the truck man. that sucks.

 

well then shane inform me, from what ive seen and read a front end swap is so much of a ***** with a gen 3 its not even worth it

 

That sucks dude. I'm sure itll work out though.

 

well by the looks of it everything that would need to be replaced is basically from the frame horns up anyways, this would be the best situation do do the swap!

And sorry about the crash! good to hear everybody is okay!

 

The way I see it, Its only worth it if you happen to crash it, otherwise is a waste of time and money IMO. Its possible. But for me to do it, I would have to wreck it lol.

 

Rad core support(drill out spot welds, replace with 98+ core support, weld back on), frame horns is a weld in deal, after that it's fenders, hood, and the normal stuff like header panel, etc.

 

Yea, Would be a pain to do, but doable, Easier if its crashed and already have to rebuild it anyway.

 

tough brake. i've been there before but mine was totalled. glad to hear everything is ok though.

 

Glad your ok, sorry about the truck but whats the story...

 

That sucks dude

 

And just because it's a ***** doesn't mean you can't do it.

Truck looks good wrecked. You should keep it that way

I'm just joking, that sucks. I agree with doing a front end swap.
