will this fit a on a sport?

[sport97]

I was looking for a bull bar for my sport and i found one i like on ebay.
Its the Westin safari bar. Now for my question, will it fit on a 2dr or just the 4dr?

If you notice on the link "fits 4 doors" is bolded. I figured the frame rails would be the same distance apart on both. If anyone knows that would be great so i wont end up with a part the doesnt fit my ex.

yes. everything on the front end of the 4 door and 2 door 1995 to 2000 explorers is the same.

Thats what i figured. Thank you. It was just that they bolded the 4 door part

will it not fit an 01?

 

[wrigley_1285]

the 01-03 sports are a different body style than the 95-00 sports. and the 95-01 4 doors are the same body style as 95-00 sports. and of course the 02 newer 4 doors are completely different

don't know if the bar will fit the 01-03 sports

ill post pictures whenever i get it on, im just trying to sell a piece of home theater audio equipment to get the money for the bar and lights first though. Any suggestions for the lights to put on the bar? im on a budget, i definitely cannot afford kc daylighters or anything that pricey.

here's a good thread to get some ideas

i got mine at auto zone for $6 each on clearance. they are 7" off road lights that i replaced the bulbs with xenon 55w bulbs.

lol. auto zone just happens to be the closest parts store near my house, less than half a mile away.

i don't have any rock chips on them...yet, knock on wood. and i've had them on my truck for over 7 months.

my lights came with covers but i don't usually use them, i don't care for the design on them. maybe i should sand 'em down and paint them black and then put some explorer forum decals on them.

 

[adambodkins]

that would definitley be something to see. I would be very interested. But advertising I meant on the Mellow Yellow. LOL Where's the DEW

 

[wrigley_1285]

lol sorry. mellow yellow is a coke brand soda, and i've always liked coke brand pop better than pepsi. plus mellow yellow isn't very common around here, and every time i go into a store or gas station that has it I have to get one. so apparently i was at a store that sells it before i started putting my lights on.

Thats a nice ex you have wrigley. Im planning on doing the TT and shackles. Yours is the 1st sport ive seen with it done, and i like it, my tires are just the stock 255/70 r16 but it should still look good.

thanks. my tires are 30.9x9.50/15. pretty much a 31" tall tire and I think they are just a little too small. but i'll be doing a 3" body lift and getting at least a 33" tire put on. My rear end still sags just a little bit but i also have a set of 4door leaf springs i'm going to put on it to try and help it out.
