'01 grille on a '98
My favorite grille style for the ranger is the black mesh that was put on starting in 2001. This:
I was wondering if anyone has managed to put a grille like that on a 98? Because I'm looking to do this myself and I'm not sure how difficult it will be, since I can't find any aftermarket black mesh grilles for the 98.

I'm not positive, but it looks like they are larger vertically (meaning the little slit where the turn signal on a 98 would be is smaller).

they are larger in both dimentions.....taller and wider.
I've toyed with that idea, but using the 98 grille and the 01 headlamps on a 01-03 header panel.... 98-00 headlamps in total w/ the corner lamps are WIDER than 01+ lamps and corners...so...you'll have to cut into the grille shell for your application, as the 01-03 grille shell is wider than the 98-00 grille shell to do what you want to do.
Mr. Enterlastnamehere...it's really too bad because my spare honeycomb center grille i've got that keeps going on different trucks came from a black truck with those things under the lamps broke off. I took the honeycomb out and tossed the rest. :( Although...I do have a complete 01-03 edge conversion ready to go....PM me if interested. No shipping costs either bud...

ive got a 01+ grille that i cracked at the wings while taking off to get painted. I bought a brand new one and had that painted instead lol
I did the whole conversion on my truck, cost me less than a few hundred bucks. Certifit is the place to go. OEM quality body parts. Only thing i had an issue with is finding a decent powerdome hood to buy. I finally found one after a year of lookin lol
