I am looking to refresh or modernize my '01 Ranger Edge. I like the grille style that came on '05-'06+ Rangers. I know I need to replace the hood as well, but is there anything else I will need to go with said grille.

As of right now I have no bumper grille and a damaged hood, so I need to replace it all anyway. Plus if there are any other exterior upgrades you can suggest that would be great!

Thanks in advance.

As you said obviously the grill and hood. Not sure about the bumper. You will need the header panel for the later front end. It's the piece that goes between the grill and core support. You will need the filler panels that go under the head lights, they are built into your 2001 grill, but separate on the 05-06 grill. The headlights may be different, I can't really tell from looking at the pictures. They are a similar style, but if the angles of the sides of the grill changed then the headlight changed to match.

Mirrors! The 05-06 front end conversion needs the mirrors to match. Actually every 98+ Ranger needs those mirrors regardless of the front end.

Try going to some local junk yards to find a bumper and hood for your rig. From there also, you can find other parts that you can use for your other mod plans.

There are many different bolt on aftermarket grilles, headlights and tail lights to give your 01 Ranger a new custom look. Take a look on ebay.
