Still looking at the ST.. Not really a huge fan of the rear bumper. Has anyone used a Gen1/Gen2 Explorer rear bumper and cladding on the ST? I don't know if the frame width & setup is the same, or if the cladding pieces will even fit on the bed.
 






The lines won't match. If you look at the rear of the truck from the side, the ST bumper wraps around to the rear wheels. I don't know about mounting though. They wouldn't be too different of a look from a steel bumper.
 






I think you'd need to use one of the older style rear bumpers (like off a '97) to have a place to put your license plate and have tag lights. Even if it would fit, It wouldn't look very good, as the ST's bumper cover wraps around under the bed sides.
