So the testing phaze of my bumper is complete, and i couldn't be more thrilled! It held up to one very good test out at my freinds farm! Also getting air uner the tires, or over?! yeah, the canopy added some COG to the rig, so now i'm either gonna just slap another cab on there, or try to adapt an explorer cab and splice on the back of the ranger cab behind the rear doors to have a four door ranger with a short bed. the bumper kept all the weight off the hood and fenders!







Everyones ok though, with the exception of my sore shoulder and the damage is minimal, didn't think i was being reckless just strange circumstances, all i did was spin a 180, done it literally hundreds of time, cause it's faster to turn around that way. The rear end bounced up a little then came down and hooked on the ground and i didn't have any time to correct. It was a slow roll, but still to fast to realize what's going on. anyhow, i'm gonna keep it and still to the sas and fix her up again.

Shoulda left it on the roof, it's easier to work on it that way huh?

Anyhow, thanks for looking!

That is one view I hope I never see of my truck. Looks like it time to go back to the building process, the 4 door ranger idea would be cool though.

I like how you're so lighthearted and funny about it.

"Shoulda left it on the roof, it's easier to work on it that way huh?"

Also like the bumper. Glad y'all are ok. Live & learn, right?

When you get the chance get an upright damage shot of it so we can see how bad the roof is.
