glad he is ok.......

just slap a new cab and doghouse on there and it will be good as new.....the thing i would worry about it that the whole bumper assemble came off...

 

i think it was in the bed of his truck since he just got the bl on

 

wow that sucks.

glad to hear he is ok tho.

 

dame sorry to see that
but it could be worse as long as your ok thats the main thing

 

yea the bumper and the brush guard was already off from when we put the BL on it to

 

hey guys.. i just got home. Im doing ok nothing broken and i can move using my own power so im ok. im glad u guys all care it makes me feel really good. and before i tell the story i wanna thank ryan, rich, don, ricky, ray, weston, steven, steven's dad and everyone else i forgot to name. You guys are awesome.

So.. im leavin ryans after finishing my body lift.. i go out onto the main road (2 lanes) follwing steven and rich is behind me. so we are cruisin and i see on the oncoming traffic a van drivin then suddenly a lil white car comes out into my lane. There is about a car length between us so i react and drive onto the grass on the side so i didnt get into a head on collision. So i try to get back on the road and start sliding sideways (still upright) most likely from over correcting.. then i felt the truck lean then fall on its side and slide along the street and my window crunching. then i roll all the way over into the other side of the street and i see the cab compressing and all the windows crunch. I had my eyes open the whole time.. it felt like fast and slow motion at the same time. so the doors crunched and i was just chillin hangin upside down by my seatbelt and as some guys got the door open i just crawled out and let the paramedics and officers do their thing. Everyone was nice andd helpful. Im really glad i know you all and you guys helped me out. ill post pics or somebody will a little later. Thanks again for everything. R-F is the best.

 

Damn dude, glad you're OK! and sorry 'bout the truck, that's a sad sight right there.. and yes I think well deserved bad karma shall catch up to that guy!!

 

Damn bro I'm sorry that happened. Like everyone else said, atleast your okay.

 

dang, that sucks, but at least you're ok.

 

prolly woulda been better off to hit him head on. not only would the damage prolly be less, but the a-hole woulda had to have stopped!

bet youll feel this in the morning...... be sure to go to ur doctor WITHIN 48hrs.

 

Wow.

Just take it VERY easy for a bit. Sometimes the damage doesn't "hurt" until a day or two later. Don't be afraid to get treatment if something get's "fired up" tomorrow or the next day. I speak from experience here, lol. I had no pain or any sign of damage the day of the impact -- nearly CRIPPLING pain and spasms within a day or two.

Just a word of caution!

Glad you're not seriously injured. Your Ranger took good care of you.

 

I dont know about that, depending on the speed he was going and had hit head on, it would probably crumble the front end bad, and bend the frame rails, and he might have had injurys then.

But wait, if he's lifted, then the tires probably would have hit the car and not the frame or whatever, but still it could bend the front end up and maybe even the frame.

 

hey man really glad ur alright.. wish i coulda made it up there for the meet but sh*T got messesd up down on my end once again.. blah.. but maybe the next meet.. good luck with eveything...

 

"Just keep on keepin on!!!!"

 

iam really sorry to hear that....i hate ****in dipsits that do that ****.....i have to say man i find the part where u were saying u were just chillin upside down a little funny(just the way you put it) i hope insurance takes care of you and please do us all a favor and get checked out..when i got hit head on 1 1/2 years ago i was perfectly fine next morning my fingers and arm was hurting.....i hope the bastard that caused this gets what he deserves......


well atleast u know the body lift is strong!

 

Glad to hear your ok. Can't say from experience, but take 'er easy. Wanna make sure everything is still in working order.

And news/plans on what you are going to do with the Ranger and/or new vehicle?

 

Well then the person in the car would have died or had serious injuries tho... He did the right thing...glad your iight man!

 

Glad to see that you are ok Vic.....Hate to see that good-lookin' truck like that, but at least you are well!

 

man i just got home from clinicals, and had two teens in there that were faced with the same dilema, but dwerent able to get away from the car. got tboned, and are kinda messed up now.

glad to hear that you made it out and safe. make sure you get checked out though, its something that seems like a pain to do now, may change your life forever down the line that youd never think of.

 

wow that sucks to hear that man but from the pics the damnage doesnt look that bad but thank god u r ok

 

Man tell you what, your ranger is built tough, I look at this and makes me happy to know that you walked out ok and I probably could do the same. I never think about it but these trucks really take alot of punishment. Glad ur ok man! I bet someone saw something on that car and might have called it in. Im sure if that person in that car saw u roll the **** they feel bout not knowing if ur alive or dead would eat someone up. Although it sucks they arnt in jail, im sure they are in hell.

 

man thats really sucks. I glad your ok, be sure to go see a doctor to get checked out.

 

I know your feeling 100% brother. When you're upside down all you can really think is "what's going on? Is this actually happening?" It happens in slow motion, but you don't manage to actually grasp any of it for quite some time. Hopefully you won't have dreams about it though like I did.

I'm really glad to hear you are alright though. Just over a year ago is when I rolled my truck, and I was lucky to walk out with just a few scratches. It's a real testament to the safety of the Ranger to be able to take hits like that and keep the occupants safe. Good luck getting yourself a new truck, and stay safe. We're here for ya man.
