while skipping the basics i'll geive so tips since i did this bymy self today from 10:00 am-6:30pm...ok i pulled the fender (10) 8mm bolts.and 3 phillps head screws for the driverside fender.the rock guard has to com e loose from fender to remove hence the extra 2 bolt you woulnt see they are locaeted behind the inned fender molding near horn.i pulled the restof the rock gaurd.which means pulling the 8mm bolt under the batter that ties in to passenger side fender.
pulled front bumper (4) 18 mm bolt that ties into frame.
you have to have a good beer belly to reinstall...
i pulled the radiator core backout by hand since i wieght 240lb.
the parts at jy cost me 130$.
fender,head light,bumper, rockguard,grill.
newbulbs all around cost 20.00$
time spent with a sexy xplorer is priceless.
150 total.

i still plan on fixing the stripe's and carrying the black tone on the bottom all the way around... with bedliner!!!mooh ha ha ha

Ok come on- did you guys hit the same type of car?

I've got a white limited grill and headlight surround set that would look stellar on there! :D

That is pretty weird. Same bends in bumper. Same bends in the fender ¾ way back. Same color. Same pinstripe.
 






the front buper was actully on the tire,so after i got my ticket i climbed under,and grabbed the driver side ttb arm and kicked the bumper off the tire.

Yeah they are almost the same hahaha.did you hit a dodge neon,i did notice that my powersteering pump is shot now.
i went and saw batman dark knight today and i found a puddle of fluid after the movie.the resevoir has a crack 3 inch long.So the jb welded it, it is drying rigth now im'a let it dry over night and refill tomarrow.i do have a extra resevoir but why change it if it aint broke...
