At the pick-n-pull today, I found a sweet tubed bumper mounted to the back of a late 80's Ranger. I measured the width from one frame rail to the other to be about 33". Then I measured the width on my '97 Explorer (should be same as '97 Ranger), and found it was 40 some inches wide. I was very bummed to not come home with a pre-fabbed bumper. I could always make new brackets, but the overall length of the bumper would be off. Did they change the chassis width between the older Rangers and the newer or am I just off in my measurements?
