  After Marc had a unsightly, slight altercation a while back, he made a few changes that suited his ride to his personality.
  Marc is a hard working student and employee, not letting his two carreers get in the way, he proceeded to do all the work himself except for the paint, after a painstaking time of dealing with shotty parts and slow part suppliers, he finally got his Sport back on the road with a great new face lift.
  
  For his hard work and tiresome ablitity to press on Marc has built himself a fantastic ride, Great job Marc!

I think my bumpers are gonna get painted fer sure.
I am customizing my own grill, I am planning a 99+ front bumper and a EE air damn for the PIAA's. Diamond cut s and corners, all one color no chrome.

I cannot WAIT

 

[chriswells78]

Let me get this straight...you put a mountaineer grill, on an explorer. Does this mean that Explorer flaired fibre fenders will match up to the mountaineer grill or did you have to do some custom mud work to get the fender/grill to match? It looks good. Very interesting, should turn some heads, win some shows!

 

[410Fortune]

Mountaineer is an explorer just like a Navajo is an explorer.

All parts are interchangable

the 2 door explorer's before 01 use the same front end as the 95+ explorer's, which are the same trucks as the 95+ Mountaineers.......

You have ALOT of choices.

Yes explorer front clips and fiberglass pieces will fit your Mounty

 

[chriswells78]

That is awsome, I kind of wrote off putting fiberglass fenders on my Mounty because I figured they would be just a little bit off in the fittment (I figured most likely aroung the light bezel). I did notice on the Perry's website that it never mentions being a direct replacement for stock fenders on 95-01, just that it is a "conversion kit" for 01-04. Will the Perrys indeed fit the 95-01? I like the way they look versus some others that are out there.

 

[410Fortune]

Perry's. Mcneils, and Fioberwerx are all run by the same family.
They make 2", 4" 6" and I think even 8" bulge fenders for your Explorer.
Their websites are not always up to date.

Congrats Draft

I can voutch, I have seen this truck in person. It's very nicely done

 

[FROADER]

Very clean/sharp looking.

 

[TheFox88]

One of the sexiest explorers i have seen. I mean mounty. Wait, explorer. Ohh. LOL!

 

[bmxking5]

Definitely a VERY deserving truck for feature truck. Congrats!

 

[TAS98xlt]

I have a question on this truck, is the owner around?
I need to know if the headlights/corner lights he is running require a new header panel or if they bolt into the older style Explorer style light housing?

I want those damn headlights on my project 96, I just picked up a 97 Merc front clip for it off cragslist hehehe

I am going to replace my mounty header panel also, so I e-mailed a supplier on e-bay the question
From just looking though, there does seem to be a diff.
I'll be sure let you know
