94 Explorer XLT
I'm making a trip to the nearest Pick and Pull which is 130 miles from my house.. I'm going after a truck load of stuff.. I need front and back bumpers. My question is and I prolly already know the answer but is there a chance the front bumpers on the newer models will fit my 94? I would like a front bumper with the fog lights.What model will interchange, just the 91-94?

Well thanks , I downloaded it but I'm not even close to smart enough to know how that could help me......
 






now i want the 95-98 front bumper. i wish i had enough money to buy a donor 2nd gen. It would probably be cheaper than all the parts i want.

So will it fit?
 






I have no idea if it will fit directly but you might ba able to fab something up
 






Second Generation Explorer front bumper MAY bolt up, but do not expect it to look good. The difference is this:

First Generation Front:

Do you see the difference? The Second Generation is curved, while the first generation is pretty much square. It may bolt up, and you could probably make it look all right, but why not not get a bumper that's meant for your year explorer, and add the lower valence with fog lights later on.
