1996 Explorer XLT 5.0 2wd
I've got a '96 explorer that is starting to show her age a little bit. I want to bring some new life in, but not break the bank. Mostly cosmetic, as the 5.0 is still kicking strong and I see no need for any updates right now.

I'm curious at if there are things that are fairly easy to transfer from new generations or even newer years of the 2nd generation. Thoughts/suggestions on pulling some of the below to update the look:
  • Front Grill - change from '96 to newer 2nd gen
  • Brake Lights - change from '96 to newer 2nd gen
  • Rims/Wheels - Thinking Limited/Sport Trac - change from 2nd gen to 3rd/4th
  • etc

Not sure how I want to approach it yet, but open for ideas or suggestions.
