Gen I Explorer with Gen I Ranger/B2 sheetmetal

**Jim Oaks** · 09-08-2008, 12:00 PM

Has anyone ever seen a Generation I Explorer with the front sheetmetal, grill, headlights, etc from a Generation I Ranger or Bronco II?

I don't know what was making me think of that.

Haven't ever seen one, we were discussing it in a thread not too long ago, I'll try to find the linky

That would look awesome! I would love to see that.

The hardest part would be getting the body lines to match.
