Default "newbie"

Not a newbie exactly, I'm 70 and still do most of my own work. a year ago i picked up a 2003 ranger from my son in law, who didn't want it any more(he got a company truck). So, 2003 , 4.0 motor, automatic, 4X4, extended cab 2 door. currently just over 282,400 miles on it. i know all three of the previous owners, and while they all had routine service(read oil change), done, they were none too gentle on a vehicle. A friend told me that my son in laws preferred method of stopping was to bounce off something in front of him. Truck looks like it too. BUT IT RUNS FINE.

I'm an old newbie too 71. Inherited my 97 xlt from my Daddy. Made the mistake of loaning it to my grandson to find a job. Didn't find a job but busted out the back glass, let it mildew inside, ripped out the ignition switch, dented the front bumper, tore out the console and lost the door and ignition keys. I'm rebuilding. Only 87,000 miles. I need a diagram or picture of how to reassemble the front bumper brackets to instal a new bumper.
