Lets see I removed the pass front fender and bumper the front fiberglass that the lights mount to also the A/C pump and lines are gone the alt is awating the clean up and instal also in that pile is the power sterring and idoler. still have to tear out the core suport and pull the motor !
Hope to have the "new" motor this week truck has also lost some "dead weight" A/C pump and lines has any oneelse removed the A/C box on the fire whal?

Motor is rebuilt with 23,000 miles for 300 bones.
core suport is rused threw where it meets the frame the hole truck is goin to get a 2 inch body lift to re[place the worn stock bushings.
Like the look of the cut fenders so def gona chop the front and add a piece of door trim from autozone

You're an idiot for drinking and driving. I don't care when it happened.

I've lost too many people close to me because of pieces of s*** like you

wow what a bunch of "angels" ... if you have a drivers lisence and you consume alcohol, like it or not, YOU YOURSELF HAVE MOST LIKELY DRIVEN DRUNK ... i realised how easy it was to blow over the first time i got drunk in public, didnt feel drunk and i blew a .11

yeah this guy screwed up, thank goodness didnt hit anything or anyone, and will be paying the price for it the next few years .... lay off.

I don't drive when I go out drinking, me and my friends always have a DD.

I'm not an angel, but I'm not stupid enough to expect to drive home when I'm out partyin.

Ok seriously i have learned my lesson. i am glad that the officer pulled me over that night. yes i will be paying out the @SS. SR-22, $437 court costs, got my truck towed $180, $475 reinstatement fee, $117 for privileges plus got bailed out of jail $160 and paid $350 to take a 72 HR DIP ( driver intervention program). Dude ive owned my ranger for 5 years okay people. there have been many times that i have handed the keys to a friend (DD) to drive me home. i could have bought some nice stuff for the ranger...tires etc. "Angel" my @SS i guarantee more than half of us have driven while under the influence.

You sound similar to this loser I used to know in Nashville that liked to brag about how many DUI's he'd had, I believe at last count he was up to 23 and still had his license.

It's very sad to me that you brag about doing 86 mph while being drunk and even sadder that you mention that you're just "glad" you, your friend, and your truck were not hurt. You should be thankful that you didn't kill someone and ruined many lives, including your own. I'm not a saint, God knows I've done stupid ****, But I couldn't imagine myself getting a DUI, losing my license, then bragging about it to hundreds of people on an internet forum.

23 DUI"S thats crazy. I dont drive drunk but i have had 3 speeding tickets. I just got pulled over on the wrong night. I was not "drunk" but it doesnt matter because i still blew a .03 I would NOT wreck my truck. I was actually on my way to wal-mart.
