Sad Little Ranger

I am relieved to find a site such as this, as i am looking for some information... I recently rolled my 2004 ranger and now i am trying to restore it so my girl can go back to work and i don't have to drive her Mom-Mobile... I have ordered air bags and i am in the process of replacing the windshield, but if anyone knows the best way to go about getting the airbag modulator out of the vehicle or let me know if i must remove the headliner in order to pop out the roof, i would be eternally grateful... PLEASE! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS SACRED!!!

Some pictures would be helpful for us to know what to tell you.

About 2 years back I rebuilt a salvage 2004 ranger that hit a tree so I have some experience with the Airbags and front end. If you ordered a set of air bags you will also need the pre-tentioners in the seat. Those go when the air bags do. I just so happen to have an ad in the classifieds because I have an extra set of those. :) Anyway. if the bags deployed all you need to replace is the pre-tentioners and the air bags them selves. Make sure to do that with the battery unhooked and after letting the truck sit for a while.

Show us pics so we can help with the big stuff.

Welcome to R-F. Glad I live in a backwards state that doesn't do inspections....I just zip tied the air bag cover back together.

Air bag stuff is nasty to deal with usually. there isn't inspections here either, so the only guidelines i follow when i fix an airbag is the one the insurance company gives us.

anyways. Welcome to R/F. glad to hear your alrite, pictures would help out a lot.
