I was taking some stuff to our new place (bought a house & land!) And just slid off the road. Don't really know how or why. Was driving at a speed I thought was safe, there are lots of much hairier turns on that road.

I've been going to the new place everyday after work and sometimes in the morning and it's 10 min from the old place so I've taken that road a hundred times. Drove past that turn twice the same morning withoit trouble or slipping.

So too excited? Too tired? Too complacent/confident? Also lots of snow and ice early this year

Snapped a 6 inch cedar with the front and a couple smaller ones with the bed. I'd still say the trees won though :/


It's okay at least we still have my GF's Outb...OH NO WAIT
A 5th wheel flatbed decided to play can opener and turn her Subaru into this and throw her down the slope towards the lake:

So from 2 cars to 0 in 3 days

As I said, just bought a house.
Don't like debt but at least we had 2 cars paid for and only a reasonable mortgage... i guess no more.

So now we're still renovating and supposed to move kn saturday with no wheels. Going to be interesting.
/rant off

As for the ranger.
Frame is fine, still drives, drove it a mile like that to park it at the new place.
I'll see what I do with it. I still want a ranger that's for sure.
This one needs:
Hood
Rad support
Headlight
Bumper
RH fender
2 passenger side doors
Bed
New leaf
Airbox, coolant and wiperfluid reservoirs
Inner fender,"Apron"
Peobably some more stuff

Also had a hole in the driver side door so all I can  really keep is the left side little door and left fender
..

Part out? Who's going to buy a 300000km motor even if it's in tiptop shape. (Instant start, idles so smooth I forget it's running).
Tranny has under 200k

Project?bodyswap? Trailqueen?
Don't know yet, also don't know how i'm going to get my firewood out now. 
I guess i could rip off the bent steel, put in a spring and have a "farm truck"
 

Ok last rant:

I always said I wouldn't move again/buy a place unless it had a shop/garage. I worked in nice pro shops for work and always only had driveways to work on my stuff. So absolute dealbreaker condition.


So of course we bought a house with NO garage
It's ok couldn't pass up on the nice house and 50acres of playground.

So i guess i'll start building a shop around the 2 wrecks i allready have in my yard lol

Oh did I mention that the DAY after we signed the house I lost my job?

Last couple of months have been... interesting

Fitment is acceptable, about the same as the OEM corners. I had to eliminate a bracket in order to achieve the fit. Bracket didn't really serve any purpose, so they are solid.







Okay Eddie, above are a couple of shots of Sasquatch after a very cold and windy bath! :) It was a quickie, but I'm glad I did it now that my hands have thawed out! I have a new FX4 black textured valance to put on, but I will wait until spring to do that. I might mention that I have my winter wheels and tires on it, so no fancy on the ground right now...
