Hey guys, I have always wanted a 2003 front end (I have a 96) I found a 2001 Ranger for cheap and it looks like it has the same front end. I think I am going to buy it and take the front end from the 2001 and put it on my 96. How hard is this going to be. After that I want to part it out. Think its a good idea? The 2001 Ranger is going to cost me $1750...I figure the parts for a front end swap would cost at least $500...so that leaves me $1250 in the hole after I take the front end to get back in parts or maybe sell it front end less to someone for parts. I was also thinking maybe I could throw my 96 Front end back on the 2001...that way it would have complete body metal. I could sell it to someone who was interested in it for functionality not looks because then it would look like a 96. What do you guys think of my ideas? Also the 2001 to 1996 swap should work right? Thanks
