Hey y'all,
My 2003 Ranger XLT needs to have its front bumper, valance, grill (&surrounding grillframe) replaced. We hit my buddies hitch dead on.
I refuse to put chrome on her, that's just a personal thing.
- i can find all these parts on CariD/carparts.com etc, but always 'just' for the XL, not XLT. Does the difference in trim matter? Would I need fillers on the sides?
- aren't all rangers 2000 and younger capable of swapping out bodyparts?
- also, the truckbed's having a big rust problem and I'm thinking of just straight up replacing the whole 6 feet of bucket. Where should I look for a (relatively) new one? I'm scouring scrapyards but the rangers they get in are usually in worse shape.
I appreciate y'alls help!
