it should be pretty straight forward, from the A pillar back they are the same body/same truck
As mentioned above only the frame forward of the firewall is different and you will have to deal with the front two body mounts, pretty dang simple when considering the size of this job, swapping a full suv body to a different frame.
This is a great way to get a TTB suspension under a Gen II body....however it might be easier just to swap the front clip??????????????????????
I prefer the 91-97 tailgate over the 98-01 "bubble but" the lighter 98+ tailgates just fall apart way easier
Anyone be interested in a Dana 44 TTB conversion crossmember for the 1995-2001 explorers?
You could just swap the V8 into the first gen. I'll probably swap in a V8 after I kill the SOHC I just swapped in.
Thanks Travis! Going to make a post over on DR today see if anyone there is interested.Yes!
Yes this is the other option. Some guys prefer the newer interior and newer body style. I have a 94 and an 01 and find myself driving the 01 much more just because of the interior. I definitely have better luck finding 2gen parts too.
