i had the thought of trac-bars, but i dont want it to limit my travel.

 

trucks lookig good. you are pretty much doing what im thinking. minus the dbr shock hoop.

black step sides ftw

 

here's a little update on the RumRunner. not quite sure WHAT i'm going to do, besides be thankful i'm alive.

 

Whoa. Sorry to hear/see that man. I was really starting to like your truck. What happened? I mean other than the obvious.

Glad you're okay.

Never mind, saw the other thread. That sucks.

 

Damn man that sucks. Glad to see your alright.

Good luck with the rebuild.

 

WOW Thats sucks !!! havin to much fun on the L8 huh ?

 

damn dude, glad you're ok...

 

Good thing you're alright, that looks nasty

What are you gonna do?

 

holy ****!!! Im glad you are alive. that looks like a hard hit.. did you walk away??

 

 

awe man that sucks! it was looking good too.

 

That really sucks Tim! I hope you are doing ok!

 

damn i spotted the truck at the brooks and dunnn concert i wish u were around cuz me and a friend of mine were druling over it

 

tims good. talked to him today.

 

damn dude that is some serious damage. its too bad you didnt have a cab cage etc cause the truck could still be alright besides nasty lookn panels anyways. glad you are ok though!

how fast were you going? looks a little more than just tipped over

 

Cab swap!

 

i walked away from it, cuts on my hands from crawling out the windshield. i was on my way back up the hill on an angle, and when i cut the wheel to the left to get back on the road, it leaned right, and that when i went over. i dont think i was going more than 15-20 mph.

i found a cab for cheap, but i'm not sure if i'm going to just buy another ranger and swap the parts over. either way, i've got alot of work ahead of me.

and yea josh, i was at brooks and dunn. we ended up all over the place. you coming to town for the next concert? i think brad paisley.

 

yea tim ill be there august 13th

 

A Final Posting for this thread...

Dad didnt want the truck sitting in the drive way all summer while i swap out the cab, and i found a crack in the rear subframe. so i decided to strip the suspension, bumpers, seats, and engine performance, then junk the truck. i did get a new vehicle, wanted an f150 but i test drove an explorer and really liked the ride it offered(ironically it has RSC- rollover stability control). here's some pics and a tribute liscense plate to the rum runner that my brother made.

 

sad to see =/

but nice explorer. definitely an upgrade. any plans for it? is there even much you can do with these new explorers?

 

its a 2wd, so no bolt on lifts kits are available for it besides leveling, which allows 33" tires... it'll be a start.

 

damn that sucks, I saw all the stuff on CL the other day and figured this is what you were doing. theres a explorer like your new one at school on like 31 bfg mts and DC1's that looks pretty sick

 

ah i see.

fab up a long travel f/r kit for it! can't be too hard with the ifs/irs!

 

Buy his stuff!!!!

 

Now that I see it being towed away it's really sad...

I've been looking up this way and found an 01 edge that's parting out was just gonna pm you about it until I saw this.
