 Thanks Patrick! Until I can get under the truck, I won't know much other than my bumper valance is busted. Bought one this morning on eBay for $73. I won't put it on until spring, though. This time I bought the black textured one for the FX4 Level II, so it will be a "forced" upgrade! LOL

 The link gave a 404 for me.  So, I did my own search based on yours and here is one that worked (for me).

NHTSA - 2006 Ford Ranger

 Thanks Rob! Scary for about 5 seconds. Funny how it doesn't take long to find yourself in the median! LOL

 Mike glad you are OK. The pick up driver that hit you is a dick. Did you call the police & make a report?. That is a hit & run, maybe karma will get him.

 Thanks Mike! Nope, didn't call the police. However, when the guy in the RAM was pulling me out, a county sheriff stopped and put on his lights to make it safer for us to pull it out. I'm not 100% positive the truck was an F150 and it was either white, tan or silver. So yeah, karma needs to pay him back for me! LOL

 Wow that's unfortunate. At least you walk away fine and only minor issues with the Ranger.

Like you said, it could have caused a rollover. That Ranger would have been done and maybe you as well!

 True dat! As soon as the weather breaks a bit, I will get it washed underneath at a car wash and see what I've got broken or bent.

 I'm hoping it is just mud and debris jammed up in there from sliding through the soft median.

 Not yet. Too cold and nasty outside to get under it. Drove it to work this morning and it steers okay, just makes a heavy banging sound when the right front wheel hits a bump. It is 27* and snowing right now; my CEO mentioned that they are predicting 1" to 3" accumulation today.

 One thing I've noticed about this forum that I enjoy. FB is full of tards with   boxes trying to fit huge tires and LED bars on the trucks. This appears to be much more a place for people who want to tastefully modify, and religiously maintain their truck

PS I don't have FB, I steal my wifes on occasion

 Curious, has anyone tried out an arc lighter, such as this one?

https://www.walmart.com/ip/USB-Flameless-Rechargeable-Windproof-Double-Arc-Lighter-BLUE/731939967#read-more

I'm considering snagging one to replace my zippo as my EDC lighter. I feel that I'm just wasting the fluid as I have to refill it every one or two weeks otherwise it doesn't work. Something like this, however, I believe would suit my usage and lifestyle much better.

 Hey! We could start a club. Call it "The he-man FB haters club". You are probably too young to get the "Little Rascals" reference there... :)
