Default 98 explorer front bumper?
I've got a 98 explorer front bumper an I was wondering if it would be a bolt up to my 2000 ranger? I bent my bumper up a little bit the other day. I figure I'd ask on here before I take both bumpers off for nothin. Haha.

People like low 2.3 on here have expo clipped their ranger, so my guess is it should

yeah the mounts are pretty much the same I'm running a Ranger bumper still but did put the explorer bumper on for a day
you may have to shim it to get it to sit straight but that'd be it

The op shouldn't need to make any brackets his truck being a 2000 it should already be the correct mounting style
