1998 Eddie Bauer 4x4 build

[Firefighter742]

Hi! I have a good 98 Ford explorer EB 4x4 and I want to upfit it to be a good crawler/daily driver balance. I'm having a really hard time finding aftermarket parts for it though. (4.0 v-6) I can build up the motor fairly well with readily available upgrades, but I can't find rock rails, lift kit (I found one and only one) replacement front and rear winch bumpers, skid plates etc. I'm not much of a welder/fabricator and I don't want to pay out the ass to have a shop do it for me. Anybody have any sources for these parts? I can handle all the mechanical upgrades no problem, just not the armor fab

Many people here use ranger lifts to lift their second gens. Custom bumpers, I think I've only seen RLC do them.

RLC? And how cross compatible are the ranger lifts?

I'm also going to be dressing up my truck as well. Clean up the engine compartment, do up the exterior and I'm installing a secondary electrical system (isolated) to run all my aftermarket accessories.
