bumper

HI just checking if needs to remove all the front bumper to replace a broken chrome strip or can be done from the outside. IMG 414 BC00 A385 E 1 — Postimages

Hey everyone, my license plate fell off last Friday morning, I didn't notice until I got a call from a neighbor saying she found it on the street earlier; what broke are the rivets that hold down the bracket to the bumper, does anybody know the size of those rivets so I can reattatch my license...

Hey guys for any of you interested in custom offroad winch bumpers willing to fabricate mounting brackets I had really good success with this one made for a Jeep XJ and it's only $265 but really good heavy duty quality. I did have to cut the lower part of the body panel right above the bumper...

Okay, so this is a random question, but I just found out that they sold the 2nd gen Explorers in England (it's kind of funny to see them with right-hand drive), and upon looking it up I noticed across the pond they got a different rear bumper than we do here in the States. See an image here...

long story. someone ran a stop sign - no witness and cracked my front bumper and now im stuck repairing it. FO1000600 and inner fender extension ( bought one already) so i am looking for anyone parting out an X or ST 4th gen or selling a painted Black front bumper. *dont feel like buying a...

For those of you that have gotten pre runner style bumpers made, how much will I be looking to pay a shop to make one for me?

I recently just built this bumper for my rig, what do you guys think?

So I'm looking for aftermarket rear and font bumpers. I've done a little research and it looks like there isn't many options for off roading ones. Does anyone have some bumpers they're trying to get rid of, know where to get some, or have a DIY idea for it? Thanks

I have an 02 Explorer and found on CL a 04 that has a blown motor... Wondering if I purchase that 04 and grab parts from it to fix my truck (Rear bumper, inside trim, luggage rack swap (mine has paint pealing) and maybe window motors... If color matches I'll swap driver seat b/c mine has tears...

Most of it is straight forward with bolts or plastc screw push clips. But in front of the tires there are brackets that have me stumped. I cant seem to find any info on how these assemble or disassemble. Anyone with experience please help.

So last weekend I decided to finally paint the front and rear bumper trim on the truck. It wasn't until the paint dried that I realized it was dark brown and not dark gray (now I know what color dark walnut is). Well i'm not happy with the dark brown color and I'm just going with black paint...

Used front bumper, grille, head lamps wanted for Ford Explorer 2016. Full accessory.

I didn't even know the second gens had this option. I'm guessing it isn't just plug and play. Has anyone swapped one of these into their X? I personally wouldn't pay this much for a used bumper. But my local junkyard usually has 10-15 explorers, so I'm sure I'll find one of these eventually. I'm...

I know there's loads of posts about bumpers but I couldn't find anything on this. I have a 96 explorer, my buddy has an 04 ranger edge. I have stock bumper on, he has his stock one with some added support and d rings. Just wondering if the edge has the same frame width as the explorers or...

Hello, Its a 99 explorer limited with a 5.0.... So I recently purchased after market fog light housing. There very similar to one of the jw speaker fog lights. There led. But I read that it's easier to remove the bumper to get the old housing out??? Do I need to do that and I also read that...

Does anyone know what the small almost circular "compartment door" is for, located on passenger side of front bumper? about 2 inches in diameter with an arrow head (line up) mark on it, pointing to 2 o'clock position. Tried to add pic, but maybe I'm not at that level yet on forum

Front License Plate Mounting Bracket. Sits on lower bumper. Taken off 2014 Explorer immediately after purchase. Will fit any 5th generation Explorer (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015). License plate frame yours as well if you want it. $15, shipping included. Not the most exciting thing... but hey if...

I want to replace my front bumper with something that includes integrated driving/fog lamps. Looking for ideas for your favorite part. Paul

Hey guys brand new here. Thought I'd see if I could get some help with this one. I just hit a pole and being as reactive as I am, I'm trying to get answers an hour after I wrecked. Ok so I know for sure I am going to need a new radiator, grille, bumper, hood, and the lower grilles. I also know...

I got into a fender bender with my '96 Explorer Sport a few months back. I was just going to buy a stock bumper to replace the one I damaged, until I saw the price of a new one. I have always liked the look of a ranch hand bumper, but they don't offer one for an Explorer. I found this online...

Just wanted to say hello. Also, just turned 18 a few months ago and got my first vehicle. It's a 1996 Explorer XLT 5.0. It's AWD so I want to set it up for mudding and crawling. I don't have a lot of money so I wanna build it slowly. Any tips would help! Lookin to put a custom bumper on and...

Hello all! I am a new member but I have been reading explorer forum posts ever since I bought my X! I had a little spin out the other night due to black ice and hit a guard rail. If anyone is parting out an 01 explorer sport or sport trac and would want to sell me the front bumper cover, please...

Only my second post here because I haven't had any issues. With recent snow I had a run in with a bank and it messed my bumper cover up. Need to know best options to fix this. Tight on money now. Unemployed school student.

so i was wondering if anybody out there knows what kind of other trucks/suvs have about the same shape and size as a 96 xlt because im a sixteen year old and don't have a lot of money due to the lack of a job but i want a good looking bumper maybe off Craigslist that will fit with out too much...

Looks like the spare tire and the rear lower bumper skirt prevent an easy dual exhaust install. Has anyone installed duals on a V8 Adrenalin? Are there aftermarket lower bumper kits to accommodate dual exhaust? I could probably do without the spare tire, although it'd be nice to hang on to...

I had an accident about 5 months ago and my stock 97 explorer bumper looks like **** so i want a custom bumper with a desert bar attached. Is there anywhere in sarasota or bradenton or florida for that matter that i can order one from?

Is there an offroad magazine that i can order custom bumpers for a 97 explorer pretty cheap?

I just bought a limited edition bumper cover for my 95 explorer and it doesn't fit on the metal bumper...I've looked thru the forum and can't find anything about it. Does anyone know what I have to do to get the cover to fit..do I have to buy a different bumper? And the fog lights look like they...

Hey so I'm looking into building up a 91 explorer but can't seem to find any off road bumpers. Any suggestions on where I can find some?

I got my bumper painted and put on with the lights high lift and the winch had to do alot of fabbing to get everything to get in sung but it worked out great hopfully im pictures come in good.

trying to take off my front bumper because its in need of repair (my bad) and ive searched the forum and found out there is a total of four bolts holding it on, just having a hard time finding them since i dont exactly know where to look, so id like to know where the locations of the bolts are...

So I'm taking off my old brush guard to sell to a buddy of mine. The whole thing came off easier than it went on except for the very last nut that holds the bracket on. This is one of the nuts on the back side of the front bumper (more specifically the one furthest to the passenger side.)...

This forum has been so immensely helpful to me and has probably saved me over $2,000 (at least) in the last few years. I'd like to detail all the issues I've had w/ my explorer sport in the hopes that it will help someone else out. Some of this may be a little simplistic, but I hope it will help...
