Which Bumper Valence
 
This morning I was looking at the bumpers and fenders and I found these:

This one is Gen 1

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97...ger93/GEN2.jpg
This is Gen 2

Isn't my Truck Gen 3? I'm not too sure...

yep you have a gen 3

No valance is the best valance! (Well, I'm biased by having constantly detached mine offroading...)

Shalafi49 May 3, 2005 07:59 AM

Reducing ground clearance :)

i used to be a member of the no valance club... go with no valance at all.. haha

I don't think either of those valances will fit, I would recomend going with a gen3 4x4 valance, you wil gain 2 nice size fog light holes.

Im going have to go with Q on this one...the Gen3 4x4 looks much better and the big a$$ foglight openings are always a plus

Maybe I should have saved my valance to sell...DANGIT...

OMG! I just noticed I'm quoted in your signature. Did I finally say something profound? :wink:

PickupMan92 May 3, 2005 12:32 PM

ok do y'all not understand that other valances won't fit! a gen1 won't fit a gen3, a gen4 won't fit a gen3, a gen4 won't fit a gen5...... it don't fit, only one will fit..... damn.

GrafixGuy May 3, 2005 12:57 PM

Ok where can I get the 4x4 1 at??? no Junkyard Rangers around here have that valence I checked...

Given enough effort I'm sure it could be made to happen. Somebody recently posted photos of a Ranger that had an entire gen5 front end on a gen3 or 4 Ranger, except the valance! It was actually a very cool look. I swore it was just a gen3/4 valance bolted to a newer Ranger until someone pointed out the TTB front end just barely visible. Very funky.. Given a will there is always a way!

acully all the places online are selling them around $60 with s/h

I got mine BRAND NEW at the dealer for $65.....I was shocked....also there is 3 different kinds like a titanum colored one thats like $150 a paintable splash one $120 and mine the regular one thats $65

If you lived by me I'd give you my old one for 10 bucks. bought it at a swap meet then ripped it off in the woods. It's kinda long and awkward to ship

Redneckstone May 3, 2005 08:08 PM

that is very true...
