Its not exactly a direct swap. Some of the bracket bolts are in slightly different spots, and I ended up cutting off the outside "wing portion" of each explorer bracket to make it fit. Honestly, it wasn't too bad of a job. I re-used and modified the 92 explorer brackets, and aligned it by sight. I also took the opportunity to put a brush guard on it and a set of Fog lights. I will post pics up tomorrow. My old bumper was hit on the drivers side causing a buckle. Visually, this made the truck look like it was sitting crooked all the time. It looks a LOT better now!
