Hey everyone i just have a quick question about the fitment of first gen bumpers on a 2 gen explorer.
I have a 97 sport and i was looking into picking up a set of bumpers that would be coming off of a 94 sport i believe. I was wondering about the fitment on the frame as well as how the rear bumper would fit around the body of the ex as it wraps around a bit for protecting the rear lights.
The front is a smittybuilt type of winch bumper and the rear is a custom made
Any info on this would be awesome as a fellow forum member is offering me an awesome deal on some sweet tube bumpers... help me and him out a little bit.
I understand that this might require some modification to the attach points for the frame but if so can it be done relatively easy as well as keep the safety and strength intact?
Thanks,
-Rusty
