    Rolled Rangie..... Ouch... but there is an upside...

    Yes there is an upside.. its the roof....... not the the diffs....

    OK, so what happened????

    towing a trailer full of bricks at 80kmh.. got the sways and next thing you know.... in a ditch upside down.....




    So what does one do next......



    SAFARI RANGIE.........





    Gas Axe and grinder, 2 hours later and its a beast......


    I bought it rolled and am wrecking it.... so you can see it in the Markets section.

    This almost happened to Disco owner and I when towing a Rangie on a twitchy trailer I had. My knuckles are still white. We came real close as was down hill.
    I like the trim job. Make a good luxo shooting vehicle.
