Hey I just inherited a 2004 Explorer from my parents and want to make it my daily driver because although I LOVE my 2010 Ranger, I need an SUV for storing tools with a bit more towing capacity. I am currently fixing the reverse band In the transmission and have a 2” body lift kit to put on it and then a shackle to level out the back.
The reason for this post though is that I love the look of the 1st generation square body Explorers and really would love to get that look on this 3rd gen Explorer. I know there is a 2” width difference because of the roll over problems the original explorers had but has anyone had any luck changing at least the front bumper, grill, fenders, panels, and hood to get that square body look? I know I can get custom work done but I am very scrappy and like to do all the work myself.
If anyone has attempted something like this please let me know! I love this old car and want to make it look awesome.
