Wrecked Rangers

[Caleb_19]

Painful subject, I know. I wrecked my previous 07 ranger last November and I was amazed at how well it held up. The truck saved my wife, my sister and my life. Rolled 3 1/2 times down an 80ft embankment and the cab help up surprisingly well.

Anyway, I was really impressed with how well the truck help up to my stupidity, and wanted to see what other people's Rangers have been through.

Mine has only ever been in minor accidents. I think the worst one was when dad T-boned another car, we walked away with a new fender and a new grille. I don't think he even broke the headlights.

I had a buddy in high school who walked away from rolling two Rangers over like you did though.

Wow, you ARE lucky. I had a similar accident when I was 16 in a Volvo. Landed with the drivers door against a tree stump, stopping me from going further down the mountain, which probably saved my life. Ruptured spleen, broken hip, left knee tendons torn, broken bone in my left hand. I was in ICU for 2 weeks and hospitilized for another 2 weeks. spent the next two months at home before going back to school. That was in the mid-70's. As far as Rangers, I rolled my 91 Ranger race truck. No damage to me, but the front clip needed to be replaced as well as the drivers door and bedside. My avatar shows it as it landed.

Notice the low buck race truck took a roll in stride . As for the OP. Buddy slow down ,especially with passengers. Sheeesh!

Man that kinda scared me looking at that my dd ranger took a toyota 4 runner head on while being towed backwards due to loss of clutch took out one headlight wrinkled pass side fender then fixed the headlights hit a deer two weeks later blew it all apart again another two weeks then hit another deer wasted the lights a 3rd time

The only roll over I have ever been in was samurai while wheelin an I was in the back and it rolled over me and surprisingly didn't get hurt

Looking at your truck is just ridiculous I'm glad you and your sister are ok

I had a coworker go off a bank like that deer hunting.It was a little dirt road wasn't wearing his seat belt he was 24.In the big picture that truck isn't much as long as you two are ok.

Thanks everyone, luckily we all walked away in pretty remarkable condition. My sister had a slight concussion and that was the worst of the injuries. Aside from whiplash and being sore none of us had any long lasting injuries. Can't ask more from a rig than saving your life! Definitely learned my lesson from that one.
