Tell him to get a stud welder kit and a set of body hammers, on already dented metal it's hard to go backwards if it already needs replaced...

Not to threadjack but just as some incentive here's a before, during and after of what I did on my Ranger after it rolled...

The last one is kinda just for fun but apparently one of the few side shots I have from closer to the incident... it landed on the drivers side and roof mostly... All of that mess was going a whole mile away from where I was so I made things work...

The gen 1 chassis and cabs are brutes. The transmissions and axles suck though.

My main ranger has been on its roof twice.....only used a jack and a hammer so a back window kinda fit.... Kept going.

The bronco is beat even worse ....


Tough Lil buggers.

That's awesome. I know we had an 80s ranger back when I was in high school, around 93, and it was great. It lasted through jumping and pulling anything we could tie to it, and than more jumping. It was a solid little truck
