Some 96 hood/bumper questions

[96XploderXLT]

My 96 Explorer XLT 4-door has serious front end damage and i need to replace the hood, grille, and bumper. First question, does anyone know whether a 98-00 hood will fit on my 96? second, any reccomendations on a bumper, i dunno whether if i wanna go back to stock or just do a custom tube style bumper, if anyone has any reccomendations on a cheap front bumper alternative? any help would be appreciated

Hoods are the same 95 to 2001 ( except 2001 Sport )

A cheap bumper can be located at a junk yard.
In Maryland Brandywine is just about the largest.
Look them up in the yellow pages.
