Looks like the f-250 is squatin a little for that load and you loaded the ranger backwards. What plans do you have for the ranger I still think you should keep it i guarantee you'll miss it once it's gone I know from experince!! My ranger was worse off but I still look back and I could have kept it and fixed it if I waited. Damn.
 
i kinda want that snorkle lol... i'd never use it..just to say i got one! lol

but that is still one sexy 250...

loaded it that way on purpose, and thats not the position it was towed in. There is 900 pounds in the bed of the 250 for winter traction, so with that in the bed and a trailer its bound to squat a little.

engine is out of the truck. axles and lift come tomorrow.

haha no worries man, I figured someone would comment about that. Had to back the trailer up to the garage, and truck had to be engine first, really had no choice but to put it like that.

Yea kind of sad taking her apart. Ive got pictures to post later. But it had to be done.
 
What am I missing here? Why are you dissecting the Ranger?

Yes it is. The Ranger looks sad on that trailer.

Sorry to hear about your accident Nathan. I saw somewhere in a thread where you posted pics, and I didn't think it looked that bad. I can't believe it was totaled. Hopefully the insurance company took all of your hard work into consideration on the settlement.
 
front of the frame horns and cab are tweaked a bit, but enough that I wasnt going to mess with it, and it wasnt worth my time/money to try and fix it. Ill build a dedicated trail rig in the near future.
 
sad to see it, but yeah, u can always build another Ranger in the future.
nice f250 btw

I bet. I know how I feel about taking mine off the road for a month and pulling the engine out. And mine will be going back together with new parts. I can't imagine how I'd feel if I was putting her down for good.
 
all the pictures are on my buddys camera, Ill get them soon. Engines out, axles out, everything out. Frame is laying flat on the trailer, and is getting hauled to metal salvage tomorrow. Below is a random phone picture when taking out the ttb.

I didnt have a lot of room to store stuff, so the d35 (on a pallet) along with the wheels and tires and other stuff is in the bed of my truck. Just in case you wanted to know what half a ranger looks like in the bed of a super duty....
