What bumpers will fit my 2000 Ranger Sport?

[mccula]

Hey all, I have a 2000 ranger sport (2wd obviously), I am wondering what front bumpers will fit. I went to the u-pull-it and they only had one 98 ranger, but the bumper is missing the lower valence and it has some sort of slots in it around the area under the headlights that my bumper doesn't have.
They had a couple explorers with good front bumpers, but I'm not sure if they will fit.
So what year ranger front bumpers will fit? What about explorers? and mazda's?
I searched a lot but I'm not coming up with anything I think is solid enough to trust before I go to the yard again.

All bumpers from 98 + will fit. Not sure about the Exploder or Mazda but I know rangers will fit. Those slots are for fog lights that came from the factory.

thanks for the reply, i appreciate it!
So even the 2001 and up bumpers will fit too? Thanks.

Yup. I like how Ford kept them universal. Easier for people in your situation.

So does this mean that any offroad bumper aka the metal ones with better approach angles, that are 98 model year, will fit a 2008 or newer ranger? because searching google doesnt find my anything when i search 2008 bumpers. Really f'ing annoying.
