ROLLED THE LIFTED ST (NOW WITH PHOTOS)

[Stephen S]

WOW...I don't know what to say. It's such a sweet truck, it hurts to look at it like that.

Yeah man, how did it happen??

Buy it back and now you can wheel it like all hell cause you won't have to worry about damaging it. I would seriously look into a frame mounted roll cage and soft top though. Looks like you only need a new windshield to make it street legal again.

My thoughts exactly! Looks fine to me!

I am still looking into my options! If they total it I may get a 94 as a daily driver then take the rest of the money and built my 92 back up! i.e solid axle, 4wd conversion, engine rebuild. Thats my first plan, if that doesnt seem reasonable I may be looking at something besides FORD for a off-road vehicle that comes stock w/ a roll cage shhhhhhhhh. I dont know!

Wheeling the Explorer was fun but once you get a vechicle you can tear up wheeling becomes 10x more fun.

All I can say Bro is WOW!!! That's a bummer, I'd definately have a really wierd feeling down in my gut and stuff if I was in your shoes. That was definately the sweetest ST I'd seen other then the one at SEMA that Baja Shop built. I'm agreeing with the majority here and saying to let them total it and buy it back. Find out who Baja Shop had make all their Glass fenders since the molds are already done you may be able to pick up the fiberglass fenders and stuff cheap. Get the cab pounded out and cage teh inside, leave the inards gutted, rhino line the interior and build a simple custom aluminum dash with only the necesities (sp?). Keep the interior clean and simple. Swap out for the solid front end and you'd be up there with Rick's Explorer!!!!

 

[Paul Gagnon]

See if you can buy it back then straighten out the roof a bit, slap a D44 under the front and go wheelin'.

 

[Trckmagik]

Still not sure what I am going to do! Its gone! I will get a new 94 Explorer and get the solid axle put under my 92 Explorer! Thats kinda what I have decided to do! So there is alot in store for the 92.

 

[Dannyboy]

Where do you get a new 94?

 

[Doug]

Wow that sucks. If it makes you feel any better you're not the only one. a friend of mine dumped over his step brother's 94 mazda B2300 when he fishtailed and hit an embankment. You can read the blow by blow action here.

Shewwwwwwwwww that doesnt look good ouchie ouchie........

 

[Trckmagik]

Yea it didnt feel good either! I guess you live and learn! I think I will be better off in the long run

 

[2001ExpSport]

DUUUUDE!

WTF!?!

I would be soiling my pants it that were my truck. Sorry to see that man. Well, you know, some good things do come from bad. Maybe it wasn't meant to be.

Look at it this way, you'll get a lot more mods for the money on a 94 and 92.

 

[Trckmagik]

Yea, I hear ya. I am just glad both my friend and I were buckled up. The sunroof was open and someone would have been thrown out of the vehicle. I will be starting on my 1992 4wd here in the next couple months, then ,making some mods to my 1994 to use as my tow vehicle. R.I.P Sport Trac.......................................

[red96camaro]

wow, really sorry to hear that Trckmagik. Hope everything works out for you. I know what it is like to loose a lost vehicle :-( but that is how I got my X

 

[weebo]

I'm with all the people here that say fix it. My mom's '94 was quite a bit worse than that when we bought it to rebuild. My new '97 was close to that...though no roof damage, but major damage to the drivers side front.

I'm sure it looks worse in person, but I'd rather rebuild the newer sport-trac than drive around in a '94.

Glad you're not too injured though!

It's been a long time since my last flip & roll, but it's something to be remembered forever.

Actually, I like driving around in the 1994 better than the ST. I have always been a bigger fan of the 91-94 which is why I have owned:
1992 Ranger
1992 Explorer
1992 Explorer
1994 Explorer
2001 Explorer ST

I like all the metal on them as opposed to the plastic that they put on the newset explorers. Just my opinion.
