Big Mistake? George’s new truck 

The light bar and pods alone are worth more than the truck

That truck is still clean we're I'm from

open all body mounts and launch it up a ramp see if frame and body separate midair

someone paid for that?????? they scrap way nicer trucks then that swisscheese mobile.

YEEEEESH!>>>>> Poor Ranger.... Take your friend out into the yard and I bet you can find ten trucks better than that one.

It isn’t worth fixing, just buy a non lifted 4x4 ranger and it would be worth more in the long run than to fix that mess of a truck

George is a young man. This is what ya call growing pains. Lessons in life aren't free. He'll know better next time. Too bad you gave up your Chevy for that turd. It ain't Easy being Easy 👍👊

Jesus... Looks like George got taken for a bit of a ride on this one. I feel bad for him. Gonna take a bit of work to make it worthwhile

It probably would have been easier to swap out the 350. But as you said everything is fixable.

I'm surprised it made the trip. Wow. Reminds me of the 69 Camaro my brother bought once. It was 98% bondo. A complete rust bucket. But he managed to get it road worthy and drove It for several years. So, yes, anything is repairable. Good luck with it!

The three rangers I've had were never had rust that bad and two of them spent all of their lives up here in Pa. But I do know that the leaf spring hangers are a weak point on these when it comes to rust.

Remove the good parts and scrap the rest. Is too rotten

Looks like a refugee from South Main Auto's neck of the woods.

P.O.S. It's already at the yard go ahead.a scrap it.😁

This pile of junk did some in the salt belt somewhere. I see this all the time up here in Wisconsin. The issues with this one are why almost all of these have vanished from northern roads.

WOW!! And people think I buy horrible cars!! Good video man!

That's a fine yard truck ya got there.

bad truck. good vid. thanks again Jay

Now that's were two fools met and swapped problems 😱

Im sorry but you got ripped off, find a 4x4 ranger and go from there

Please notify me when a video of the body shooting rapidly forward off the chassis and into a line of pine trees after a really short stop posts.

Oh well, at least the body isn't all out of line because the frame is bent, just that the body mounts have gone so the body isn't attached any more... I think you're going to be doing a good trade in Ranger parts for a little while...

It's good to see you pumping out videos again. Glad everything is okay. Good to see more content

I think somebody got screwed ....and for once it was not me

He'll its a trail rig just weld we up and have fun👍🇺🇸

Call Jay BEFORE you buy! Lesson learned. That Ranger has one foot in the grave and the other chained to a box of money.

I thought I was looking at a New York State truck that's been out in the salt every winter. Fixable, sure, but surely there are better ones to start from down there. Find one with a blown engine and a good body/mounts and switch over the lift, tires, etc.. Now,, what I'd be interested in is that maroon/silver Chevy G20 conversion that I catch a glimpse of way off to the right of this truck, can see the top of it at about the 8:00 mark.

It's crazy that you get more rust in north Carolina , than we get in western Canada . Where i live we get very little snow , but lots of rain .

Honestly just replacing all the cab/body mounts and that truck won't be half bad. I'd get that all replaced before driving it too much

Hey Jay, surprise him by giving him your Sonoma!!! There's great reward from giving. :) Afterwards, scrap this death trap. He's better happy than dead.

Part out to a rust free 4x4?Do you have a good shell that kind?

Good thing I know about body mounts. I’ll be sure to check for small things like that when I get my first vehicle.

George has bought himself a hobby. Or I guess he is in the best place to get parts, but DANG !! Lol Take JAy with you nest time George !! Lol When young we all make trades like that I guess too.. :)

Guess there's no quick fix for that huh?

CHRUSSSSSSSSSSSH ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's doable, but until the chassis work is done, I'd almost be afraid to take a sudden turn in it for fear the cab would just roll off the chassis and I'd be on my side in a ditch while the rest of it just kept on truckin' without me.

The lights and tires are worth more than the truck. I would try to fix it, but I wouldn't dump a ton of money into it.

It looks good from a distance for as bad as it is. Painful way to get there, but on the plus side it found it's way to the scrapyard.

Pretty much every lifted ranger I've ever seen has had a K&N sticker on the back window.

Make it Rally Truck!!!! Do stunts in the yard with it

The cooler in the bed is worth more than the truck😂😂

Run away from that disaster !!!!

That truck is the perfect definition of a rust bucket Ford. Fix Or Repair Daily.

Id pull that motor and transmission and put them in a 4X4 model that needs them and crush the rest of the truck

That thing shouldn’t be on the road . Don’t make any hard turns the body might continue going straight.

Take all the good parts off and scrap it... One trail this thing is crunched. Especially in north Carolina you can find clean truck for cheap we don't have have that luxury in Ohio... even we would scrap that bucket here

What about cutting pices of metal weld some up ?

So instead of putting a cheap 350 in his truck, he bought a money pit of a ranger. Not worth doing with that much rot. Just chalk it up to a bad day and go put an engine in the chevy. And I'm a Ford guy.

It does look a nice truck, but in essence it's a what you call, a good from far, far from good truck, but it doesn't look too hard to fix though, and will be a nice truck then.

That must be from up north; seems like all the local stuff is pretty rust free.

you can't tell me that this thing is legally allowed to drive on the road. This thing looks like it would already have failed it's previous safety test here in germany (Has to be done every 2 years, otherwise it's illegal to drive the car).

I'd fix it up. get the body off, weld in some new mounts and fix up the rust and it'll keep going forever

If the drive line is in good shape the find a rust free 2wd and swap the 4x4 stuff over. I bought a 99 Ford Explorer 4x4 4.0 with 113k miles on it thats got rust problems as well that I'd like to swap over to a rust free truck but don't have a place or time😢

This is a fork in the road, here. Either it's going to the scrap yard for good or restored to be roadworthy again.

Ford Danger......

Everyone makes mistakes. Hopefully with Jays help, he will get everything fixed on it and it will be a lot safer to drive.

Weld it up! This frame stil won't bend like a Chevy Colorado lol

I love those tires.

Donor truck, unless the donor truck is smashed but leaves the parts you need intact, the donor truck would be in better shape.

if it runs and its paid for , drive it till its dead , then sell it for scrap ;-)

Why would anyone put a lift kit on a 2 wheel drive truck? 🤔

Glad I live in Alabama. Vehicles dont rust here

This is what you call looks good from far away, lol

Good lord the best thing about it is the tires! They’re worth more than the truck is smh I would of never made that trade

It's welding time.

Damn....was that stored in 4 feet of ocean?

run like hell from it

Nice clean truck 🥴😎

That's ready to go to truck heaven

Hope you like rust repair, i wouldnt drive it untill all the mounts are replaced. Id look for a less rusty truck.

I see that Plymouth Sundance, in the background, from older video. Is it a yard runner?

I wouldnt buy that swiss cheese sandwich , looks like the cheese done spoiled , and even the rats dont want it .

Yeah....it’s like factory.....👌

As much as I love this style of Ranger these were very prone to rusting out underneath especially the frames. Definitely Not worth saving could become very dangerous on and off road for your friend. It could be fixed yes, but itll need a ton of TLC. I bought a 2000 Red Ranger XLT supercab 2wd looked pretty nice and I liked it ran good, had a good transmission too but the rear of the frame was practically gone couldn't believe how a big dealership could sell trucks like that and mine wasnt the only one they tried selling like it either with bad frame issues.

What magic spell was put on that to hold the cab on the frame exactly because I need to talk to that wizzard 😂

How much? Also, may the Lord protect you from any kind of car accident while you're driving your fresh new death trap. It's not so crispy, because it's a little too crunched.

It's good for another few years!

was it a coastal vehicle that received ocean salt water? I would transfer the whole truck to a new no rust/rot frame or sell the blue Sonoma to your friend.

Poor kid, bought a piece of junk. Seller certainly knew how bad this truck was, hope he gets what's coming to him. This is a parts vehicle. Why didn't this kids dad check this out with him.

Does George need glasses? Wtf?! It's a lifted truck how hard would it be to crawl on your back and look at all that s*** before you buy it lol

Don’t fix it, Drive it till it falls apart

I had a 2000 Silverado had 284,000 miles on it 3rd water pump gave out had antifreeze in my oil was tired of putting money into it so I junked it

I hope your friend didn't pay more than $500 for that . . . truck.

Too rusty time for the truck go to car and truck heaven

Well Pennsylvania said it is a fail for inspection my neighbor had a 1999 ranger xlt 4wd and white first owner treat it like crap didn't care and my neighbor is the third owner and he sold it to someone else and it is dumpster on wheels and he found a way to pass the inspection and yet it back bumper is hanging by one fastner and it been sitting for more than 3 months

I would take it back and get my old truck back cuz he certainly got taken advantage of

Crush It.

If U haven't sold the somona yet. Sell it to george. And scrap that POS.

Strip all the cool stuff off (lights, tires, tool box) scrap the rest and pick a better truck outta the yard.

Best to just roll it over the scales and forget about it.

do a repair vid on ghetto fixing the body mounts and drive it!

I don't know why the music that plays when a deal goes bust on' Let's Make A Deal', keeps running in my head.

That's scary to see that kind of rust on a street legal vehicle!

What Were You Expecting from a 90's Truck?

Looks like a rust belt truck Sadly we deal with this rust crap all the time

My cab mount broke once not that bad a replacement but the ratchet strap is pretty sucky of a fix

Damn that's bad if was me I probably just find another good ranger and swap everything that was left good on this one to the new one cause that's pretty bad gezz and if I had a friend like that and they said was good oh man would I have been pissed off . But I check and do my own but if I was in his situation I sure would be ha .

I don't see the point of lift kit and large tires on a 2WD.

Unfortunately it's crush time,lol👍😲☺...

I'd find an older 4wd Ranger and put the motor and trans in the donor one and scrap thst one. But that's me.
