my explorer is no longer my daily driver since i bought my new f150. it's pretty much an off road rig that only get drivin around town every once and a while. i was thinking about completely ditching the body of my ex and trying to throw on a 98+ ranger ext cab and i'll probably use the front clip also since i don't think the cab and doors of the ranger would line up very well with my explorer. but anyways i'm just wanting to get some ideas from you guys. on a side note i've tried searching but couldn't find any threads with this done. i know i've seen it done with BII's and i know i've seen front end swaps. but i want to ditch the big heavy body of my ex and have just an ext cab.
here's some of the questions i've been asking myself.
-will the body mounts be in the same location for an ext cab/reg cab
-will an ext cab be too long for my sport wheelbase
-what ranger componets will i have to use instead of my ex parts(radiator, steering, etc)
-what will i have to do to keep it street legal(title,rear wheel fenders/covers, etc.)
those are just a few things that i've began to think of for now. but i'm more that willing to listen to ideas.
