Carnage at the ORV Park... (56k Beware)

[Scotty J.]

Got bit at the park today. I was going down a trail that I've been down before. I knew it was a bit radical so I asked a buddy to snap pics of me coming through. Arco777 was there as was my wife. My wife was running the video camera, I'll post the video up once it get it rendered.

Oh the humanity!!! LOL

Damn man, at least its just basically the fender and mirror, shouldnt cost more than 200$ or so if you replace them...you could probably sand the bumper out

She was running the camera, the "hole" is underwater, I knew it was there, it was just much deeper after all the rain and flooding we had christmas.

The video is great LOL. When I drove by her, she said "That'll buff out" LOL. I love that woman.

That's what I don't get, or well I guess I do. You went through that trail with me a few weeks ago, it was ugly but we made it through without any damage. It was VERY ugly this time through.

I keep watching the video to see what I did wrong, to me it looks like it just snuck up on me. I'm glad I didn't panic and come across into where you were standing.

I wish I was In your situation my x just plain won't run

At first glance, when I got to this pic, the water in the hole looked like your tire broken off and laying horizontal!

I've done the same thing in a very similar stream hole back when my truck was almost as shiny as yours.
Now I try to straddle the ruts instead of keep the tire in them.

Your Ranger is still beautiful and I will gladly take it off your hands!

...Could this be the first carnage report of the new year???

...and it had to be a Ranger...

 

[explorerguy89]

dam hard to watch =o

 

[arco777]

Blame it on wet brakes

 

[wrigley_1285]

OUCH!!

atleast it happened to you while trail riding, i did something similar to my truck....in my driveway

 

[Scott B.]

Wow - that's painful to watch. And you going so slow...

Try to straddle the rut next time. Of course, if you slip into the rut, you might pick up some body damage! Don't ask how I know...
