so the edge hood and power dome hood are the same thing right? any one know were to get one oxford white?

o i saw a fx4 ranger is that hood the same as a powerdome hood?

 

The 2001~2003 "powerdome" hood came on Edges and 4x4's only. 2WD XL/XLT had a flatter hood.

 

And it's a stinking heavy hood. I traded mine to a member here for his 2000 aluminum hood.

Even with that, my Ranger is up to 4650 pounds without me in it...

 

You know they weight difference off hand??

 

I don't but I think it's 20 pounds or more. The aluminum one is as surprisingly light when you heft it (for it's size) as the fiberglass one is heavy.

 

so i need a 2001-2003 edge hood then? anyone?

 

Yes, if that's what you want. Bob answered your question in the first post.

The FX4 is a special XLT 4x4 and it does have the powerdome also.

 

ya i thought so...
were is the best place to go to look for one? dont say junk yards because the ones out here suck...

 

Will the powerdome line up with the XL grille? I haven't seen any pics of her truck so I dunno if it's an XL or not.

 

junk....nevermind...

Well, maybe you could find someone like me who wants to trade. The problem is finding one the same color -- you might have to have it painted.

Let's face it, these things aren't just laying around. It's either a junkyard or you order one new or you trade for one.

I was blessed that a local guy wanted a powerdome so I gave him mine and took his aluminum hood. Hope you find somebody also.

 

it would look like my last ranger with the xlt/xl grille and edge hood

 

ya my truck is a xl but i have a billet grill on mine check it out:

 

Yeah I got John's old hood. You def need to swap hoods out just to lose that scoop. I can't believe D hasn't ripped it off for you. There is a bone yard in Jamestown NY that deals in all Fords. They are called Busti auto. If you want their number shoot me a PM and I will get it to you. Hell if they have a hood D and I could go snag it for you.

 

shadyluke...
most deffinatley... ya i gotta get a new hood i have no idea what the hell i was thinking when i put that on there......
if you and d could snag me one that would be awsome... just get me a price and let me know.

The Powerdome hood will not line up with the XL (Billet) grille. You'll need to get the Honeycomb grill found on the 4x4 and Edge models.

If you plan on putting the Powerdome hood on a 2004-2005, you'll need the hood hinges from a 2001-2003, as well as the (01,02,03)Honeycomb grille. But then you'll also need to swap out the header panel from an 01,02,03.

I did this with my 2005. It took more than a weekend when I eventually realized what parts I needed.

 

what make the power dome hood not fit w/ a billet frill on a xl?

 

Here's a pic of my '01 XLT 4x4 with my brother's '01 XL grille....no fitment issues:



'01 XL wearing '01 XLT 4x4 grille:



And here's a comparison of a '01 XLT 4x4 vs. a '01 XL 2wd....Best shot I could find of the two together to compare the hoods. Note: The black XL has aftermarket hood scoops on it, those are just taped on....just ignore those ugly things:

 

Bud....hate to tell you this....but most of the above is wrong. I've done it. Check the above post. The '98-'03 XL/2wdXLT and '01-'03 EDGE/4x4 hoods are all interchangable. No grille changes needed....NONE. You can run your XL billet grille....no problems. I ran a XL grille with my XLT 4x4....no problems. No fitment issues. It may look like fitment issues, but it's not. no interference with my hood hitting my brother's grille what soever. check the pics. I'm not trying to be a d!ck by anymeans, my friend. Her ranger is a '01-03 XL.

 

well d u just let me know and we can try it out... call me after10... cuz tht is when ill be outta work...

 

i got a 94 ford ranger and im looking for a cowl hood where may i perhaps might be able to find one

 

I would really like to know how a 2 door, 2wd ranger weighs 4650Lbs. according to my door sticker my truck weighs a whole 3700lbs or so... not to mention doesnt he have a standard tranny and the lil baby 3.0 engine?

 

Ford should bring the powerdome hood back for the Rangers. The 01-03 look of the hood kicks ***...........now the little bumps on it, just doesn't do it justice.
