Hello all,
Recently new owner of a 2004 Ranger XL.
I bought this little guy in the midwest, so it has a healthy coat of surface rust under the body, and some nicely seized parts.
The local junkyard has a nice little 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac hanging out, and I've heard that may be a good donor for some Ranger parts.
Of first importance, I have some leaf springs with seized shackles, so I was thinking of transplanting those onto my truck. Maybe some other fun bits while I'm there.
Anyway, here is the important question:
Any chance anybody knows how interchangeable parts are between my 2004 Ranger XL and the 2002 Explorer Sport Trac?
And bonus question, besides the leaf springs and suspension components, what other parts should I be putting on my ranger from this vehicle? Might as well take everything I can from a good donor car!
Thanks ahead of time for the help!
