I rolled my Ranger on Memorial Weekend. Everyone was alright (we believe in seatbelts). I havent tried to start it yet, but for now Im just gonna cut the roof off, add a wind shield frame and go with some plexi glass. I am looking for another cab and will probably flat bed it. Not a big rock in sight. Speed and drugs or alcohol were not a cause. The fiber glass actually held up really well. Only a few slight cracks in the fenders and the Racer Back. Top KC's were destroyed, but the fronts held up and only bent the tabs on the bumper. This really sucks. Ive had this truck since '92.
 
Glad everyone was ok... as much as it sucks... that's enough to be thankful for.
 
Glad you're ok. I love the picture though. Would make a good blooper photo or April fool's photo for the calendar.

Ow. Glad all of you are ok.
 
Wheels are supposed to be on the ground....but on the bright side, makes it easier to grease everything and rotate the tires in its current upside down state. Glad everyone was ok though...see wrecks like that all the time on back roads where I live...most times its teenagers and sadly with much worse endings than just a truck upside down. Lost several kids I've known for years due to stuff like that.
 
Oh man...glad no one was hurt. I hope you can find a decent cab and get it back to its former glory

I’m glad everyone is ok. The truck damage sucks but it can be fixed or replaced. People can’t. I’m hoping you can get it fixed and back up and running.
 
Glad every one was OK (y)

alwaysFlOoReD couldn't find his drain plug wrench and did the same thing so he could drain the oil out, seemed excessive to me
 
Soooo.... will you have it all back together again by the time we do the fall trail ride in September?

That’s about what I’m starting with. Glad all are ok. If it helps, you can get these stickers on ebay

It happens, my '90 was rolled I think in April of 2011 but mine wasn't quite as bad as that one even though it rolled twice it was in sand... I was able to take a porta power and straighten the A pillars, pulled the roof skin to straighten the windshield frame and cab ceiling (no headliner) and then the roof skin before reattaching it. Took some measurements from another Ranger to match up the windshield dimensions and a windshield actually fit! Somehow it broke one of the slider panes in the roll, I put in a piece of plexi and ran that window until this winter...

As bad as the picture looks it just had 3 flat tires, I had some old hard BFG M/T's at the time that just blew beads, I had to cut the drivers side seat belt and I was 350 miles from home... drove it home :)
