95 ranger to 00 explorer front clip.

[Smurph]

I think I've seen an article about switching the 95 to a00 explorer clip but can't find it. My questions are a, can it be done reasonably easy, and b, what would it entail? Already got the overhead, center console, electric buckets, rear axle swap. Thanks in advance

You'd for sure have to cut and weld the fronts of the fenders, and use the Explorer header panel to get the headlights/grille to fit. I think the core support might need to be changed out too, but it's been a long time since I read up on the swap. Oh, hoods are different too.
