now i need a new bed, rear bumper and passenger side door...

i was going down "dead mans hill" with 2 friends in the front seat, one sneezed and caused the other to flinch and bumped my truck from 2nd to neutral going down hill and next thing i realized was going 45 downhill in nuetral, tried to get it back in gear but it just grinded, looked up and saw a sign so i swerved to avoid that and then over corrected and spun out into the woods and took out a tree.... loose gravel and no weight in the bed didn't help either, its a miricle we didn't flip or get a branch threw the window, we got airborned of the back too.... i peed myself also :annoyed:


luckly not only did we managed get back on the road after smacking and taking out a tree sideways without stoping, no damaged other than sheetmetal happend and i think all 3 of us were in such shock, we didn't stop till we got to the end of the road... and just were amazed.. God saved my bacon that time, or else i woulda barrel rolled into oblivion.

managed to pick enought taillight peices out of the bark to make something that resembles a taillight, but my bumper is toast, it wraped around the tree and probly straitened me out enough to not flip... bed side is ded, took out a 3 inch tree with it, tree is ded...

aside from pulling branches out my leaf springs, everything is mechanically sound..

now, heres my question, will 89-92 doors with hand crank windows work with 83-88 interior panels?

theres someone parting out an 89 ranger on CL, i might see what parts hes got..

im sure God saved my arse tonight
 
......wow.

Good to hear you're ok, and your buddies too.
 
That is so crazy my friend did the same thing like a week ago except his is totalled. Do you have any pics?

So thats the tree he hit (used to be straight)

Sorry didn't mean to thread jack. Glad everyone is ok. That's scary stuff.

I've read where some use the 89-92 panels for the 83-88 doors, so why not. I think you lose the speakers though. I may be wrong though.

Glad everyone's alright.
 
do you have brakes on your truck? lol
 
I'm sure all the critters you try and run over are laughing at you. Yet another driver who screws up blames it on someone else. :icon_thumby:
You certainly need to learn how to spell, good grief. ......it's really not funny especially when you spell words wrong on a job application.
Dead is not spelled ded! Now with the other dozen or more words, I am LMAOAY.
Have fun spending time and money fixing a 25 year old Ranger.

First thing I'd do is put brakes on the truck.
 
i had brakes, but i managed to lock them up and thats what screwed me up, locking up the brakes...

this is the internet, spelling not required

First thing I'd do is change the title on this thread.

The tree pwned you, not vice versa.



Second thing I'd do is go pick up some Depends.

Dave, that just made a great start to my morning, LOL. All else will follow suit throughout the day. Thank you kind sir!
