Tried searchin a bit, some say the edge powerdome hood will fit a gen III. Unless the hoods got larger, it seems like one would fit with maybe some very minor altercations. But I couldn't find any pics! Does anyone have any? thanks

 

I've never seen a powerdome on a 3rd Gen, it maybe able to be done if the hoods are the same size only other problem would be where it hit the grill.

 

man, i wish i have a picture still,

my buddy put a edge hood on a gen3 splash


it bolts in


the fenders dont line up

the grille doesnt line up

the hood latch doesnt line up

but it does attach to the hinges

 

altercations.....lol

 

Hmm sounds like maybe it's not worth it unless you do the whole front end conversion....

 

Well itz too bad that its so much work to make it fit your truck. Just think of it this way tho. The hood you have now is only about a third of the weight of the power dome hood. Even tho the edge hood looks awesome.

 

you need new fenders from a 98+, new header panel from a 01-03, the 01-03 grill/shell, head lights, turns to make it look normal

 

I just bought an old '96 ranger that has damage to the front of both fender, the bumper, the hood, and the header panel. I wonder if I shouldn't hit a JY and see what I can find.

With all those parts it should be bolt on right?

 

i take it you bought your old truck back....do a 01-03 front conversion its simple and the truck will look better, plus GOOD condition parts will be easier to find

 

you also need to attach a new core support from a 98+

 

oh well something like that is definately not fundable anytime soon, I just thought those edge hoods might be a cool alternative to your regular run of the mill cowl hood

 

heck yeah, thats why i have one on my 01

 

^^^ and it looks great too, your truck on the main screen is what got me thinking how it'd look on mine
