My Ranger 01-03 front end swap.

[C.Evans]

I'm switching my truck over from the 98-00 style front end (my truck is a 1999) to the 01-03 style front end. Took a couple pictures of how it looks so far just slapping it together real quick. Couldn't get the bumper mounted since I don't have the correct bumper brackets yet.

Are the brackets only piece(s) needed to do the change? Also, if your stuff is mint and want to let it go for the right price, let me know.

The 01-03 front bumper won't work with the 98-00 bumper brackets. I should have some new ones this week. The header panel needs to be changed in order to run the 01-03 front end as well. Its all bolt on stuff, no fabrication required!

Make me an offer on everything if you are interested! What you see in that before picture is what the parts look like! Grill and headlights are new...

Fancy! I like it.

Looks fantastic, as would be expected .

Looking forward to what you have in store for spring, hopefully I'll have the Exploder ready to roll quickly when it gets nice out again.

Very nice

 

[Terminator-Fux]

I would have swapped to this but that's just me.

 

[C.Evans]

Too square. That would ba a PITA to do.

[C.Evans]

Wow, never heard of this!

 

[Boostie]

This thing done yet?

 

[Dasfinc]

Wow, never heard of this!

Really? Kinda surprised, thought it was a well-known piece of knowledge like the Ranger Thunderbolt and Lightening bolt:

Thunderbolt (SLP Appearance package, exhaust/intake on a 3.0 or 4.0 V6):

Lightningbolt (SVT Project, 5.4 F-150 Lightning motor crammed into it):

 

[C.Evans]

Ive seen both of those, but never the SHO version. Interesting.

Working on it!

 

[Mike K]

I still think the best SHO swap was the SHOstar...

 

[Dasfinc]

SHOGun all the way!

 

[Boostie]

Working on it!

How about now?

Some weird ass vehicles in this thread


OP - that front end looks much better

 

[C.Evans]

How about now?
