I would like to ask that we all share a moment of silence in remembrance of the 1999 Ranger "Gold Dust"... she is no more.
My son, ArcticWolf1911, fell asleep on his way home from work this morning around 8:40am. He drifted off the road, hitting a curb which woke him up, rolled the truck side over side (police say they think six times) and took out a metal light pole ending right side up in a ditch. One witness claimed the truck did a somersault mid-air. The hospital checked him out and did a CT Scan... all came back good, but he will be plenty sore tomorrow. The truck, as you can see from the pics, didn't fare so well. Total loss for sure. We have it home and it resides in the garage until we can strip it of the goodies he installed over the years (the ones that survived the crash). There may be a posting for some cool Ranger parts coming soon...
Michael, I didn't see this yet. I am so glad he is OK, thank God for his safety and thank Ford for building such a tough truck.
Thanks Jim. Considering he was running around 65mph, the truck held together very well. Yes, Built FORD Tough!
