im not saying women are bad drivers.... but seriously, i let my wife drive my ranger and she rearended another vehicle. total loss. engine block and cab/firewall damage. if only it wasnt lowered, their bumper might have hit my bumper. instead, front clip took the damage. it might have had a chance.

OH MAN!! That's sucks!! You're truck is one that i've watched and lusted after.....just the look man....it's exactly what my 'econoSLAM' project is going to be. I'm sorry for your loss.
So.........buying a new one?

you really cried? when ever i get into accidents i get angry... but i can never see my self crying over a car../truck..
Of course it will be replaced with a reg. cab ranger. unfortunately, i cant find one with a 4.0L.. only 3.0L (3.sl0wwww) i actually came across only a couple reg cabs with the big v6. in oxford white stripped down. (not even a cd player) fleet trucks with hundreds of thousands of miles. I passed on those. Ill be making love to the search button. I guess im gonna have to find a salvaged ranger (complete) to do a 4.0 swap. Should i get the 3.0L?????

I vote engine swap!!!! That's what i want to do when the 2.5L takes a dump....in goes a 4.0L OHV. And make sweet sweet love to that craiglist auto parts button too. lol. I still havn't found my truck yet, but i'm now to the point of finding a truck, i don't care what the engine/trans combo is, i'll do some swappage. lol. You're wrecked truck was my favorite...gawked at it in my ranger folder for a while the other day.....you won't be offended if i sorta copied your build right? lol.
are you sure its not salvagable? it dont look so bad from the pics... maybe if you could get the hood open and show pics there we would say different.. the radiator support and all is weld in.. Ive repaired some that looked alot worse
That sucks man, it was an awesome looking truck. I remember when I totalled my first Ranger, It sucked so hard, but I ended up getting the truck I wanted in the first place. I hope all goes well for you finding a new truck.
Is your wife okay?
