That's gotta be the coolest way to bend a frame

Re: what happens after dune jumping (Silly_me)

it probably bent like that since he cut out those arches over the wheels.
Re: what happens after dune jumping (VWzealot)

Is it the frame that's bent, or only the sheet metal? Methinks the Ranger, like most pickups, is body on frame contstruction. I would guess, just by looking at it, that he ruined the structural integrity of the body panels by carving out the wheelwells. I can't tell from looking at it if the frame itself is bent, though.
Course, I ain't no expert here, so feel free to correct me.

I agree..it looks like the wheels are still upright and the frame is ok. Probably just the body.

When you remove the tail gate, you are supposed to brace the sides to the bottom of the bed. What a good ad for a missing aftermarket product.
Re: what happens after dune jumping (VWhombre)

The Ranger in the pic got an aftermarket fiberglass bed, that´s why it looks more seriously damaged.
Re: what happens after dune jumping (Eolair)

Awesome


Still waiting for someone to chime in and say how much of an idiot those kids are or they we're breaking the speed limit or sand jumping kills.

Re: what happens after dune jumping (amarshall)

Actually this is done all the time and all the happened was the bed could not take the landing since it structural integrity was taken away. He has installed shock hoops so that he could run longer shocks with external reserviors. Pretty much the same setup as the baja runners. This truck was built for dune jumping, he just needs to rethink his bed bracing or to get rid of it all together.
