this thing got a couple of good knocks from the two rolls.  front of frame bent 4-5" to the right, cab shifted around front clip and support hosed.


new hood and fenders mounted, lots of high lifting, porto raming, pounding.   looks like a truck again.


needs shock swap to fox, coolant hose repairs, and a little body work to go.

frame was worse than it looked, huh?

anything we should do to try and keep 'em straight in the future or just try not to roll hard and do the work if needed? I figure it'd take a decent amount of extra weight to brace it up and keep it straight and probably not be worth it

it was pretty bad.

front cross member and radiator support not tied in great.


was a pretty hard roll

I bet you can build one of these thing's and show up to a race ready to sell

not many high rollers show up to these things

a 500$ daily rental could be doable, but not much less than that with typical damage

Stock replacement not good enough?

the stock ranger radiators are about 1 square foot and 1/2" thick- they look like a trans cooler.  no dice for short course racing lol
