Who dared to put an Explorer Bumper on a Ranger. Hes a really cool dude, was super nice to me even though I probably looked like a blithering idiot when I was excitedly talking to him about his truck. Its apparently bolt on too!

So my Girlfriend and I are heading to the junkyard tomorrow on my day off to find a bumper and to celebrate me getting promoted from driver to parts specialist, oh yeah that happened; I start Sunday. But before we go to the junkyard we’re headed to harbor freight for tools and after we are going to look at a 2 door manual 1997 Rav 4 that she wants to maybe buy.

PS- Lets revel in the fact that I have a girlfriend that enjoys going to junkyards, hardware stores and wants to drive a stick 2 door Toyota Rav 4. How the hell did I get so lucky?

awesomke story

Is the Rav4 a convertible or hardtop? Of course the Ranger and Explorer have the same bumpers since an Explorer is just a Ranger with a wagon body :)

I really like how the Ranger looks with an Explorer front bumper. Does this work for 2007 models, as I know there were some cosmetic modifications, but the trucks were pretty much the same. Probably won’t do that to mine, since my family may be selling it later this year, but just curious if it’s possible.

Will it bolt on? Yea, but it’ll look wonky on yours because of the different fascia

That’s what I figured. It still looks really nice on the mid-90's Rangers, though; I even prefer it to the original bumper.

This just screams “future old hippie couple”

And there’s nothing wrong with that.
