Dang... how much air did you get just before? Talk about a high and low.

lol, its not mine, i don't even know what kind of car to be honest, but isn't this pretty much a write off for your vehicle? no one can repair a shock tower can they? I'm sure welding it would end miserable again.
You wouldn't weld this tower back together, you would piece in a complete tower from another vehicle. Possible but it would take someone pretty determined.

Just posting random damage from non-rangers? At least put it in the right sub.

Thinking a member killed his truck on here but no it's just RP googling random catastrophic damage and posting them up.

They make repair panels for strut towers. They can be riveted in or welded. I've welded them in and they seem stronger than the original. Never seen one fail.

WTF?!? No way? That's your truck? That stinks!
Oh good, I was looking at the air box and wondering if I had some other part deleted from my Ranger!

I bet a damper, even in the rear, would have helped to absorb some of this energy.
