F-150 front clip conversion...

*DB_1* · 11-13-2004, 10:41 PM

Anyone seen the Fiberwerx F-150 front clip conversion for Rangers? (and Explorers) The whole deal flips forward fenders and all held in place on the side with Jeep looking clips and pins on the top front. I always thought Rick's conversion was pretty cool and this is pretty different too. At $700 i'd hate to roll my truck and destroy all that fiberglass though. Here's the link to their site: www.fiberwerx.com

so they have a conversion for explorers? I looked on the website and clicked on explorers and then it took me to te ranger front front end conversion?

yeh. the rangers and explorers are basically the same setup. a ranger front end should fit a explorer..

not too sure about the ranger front ends fitting an explroer as of rangers newer than 98... after the 97 model year, the body panels became a lot different

*jimbo74* · 11-14-2004, 08:01 PM

It could be pushing a grand if you still have to buy all the lights..i didn't see if it came with them or not.

Its a awesome looking front end. They say it sells for $750.
To bad it does not fit on 98 Explorers.
Heres a picture of it that I really liked.

But that's the girly looking F150 front end :p

i just got off the phone with jason from fiberwerx, and yes you have to buy your own lights, which will run a couple hundred. but the kit looks awesome, is selling like hotcakes, and you can get it done for just onder a grand if you install it all yourself...

ok once you get this kit how does a person remove the old front end

Claytonc · 03-05-2010, 02:07 PM
