The Ranger Converted to Range Rover?

Has anyone seen that Ranger that was converted to a new style ranger rover front end and rear? I wasn't able to find it here but if anyone knows where I can get more information about it, it would be nice. I wanna see how expensive it would be to do all that work, thanks in advance.

you talking about the one in Minitruckin mag?

it was a photoshop, its never really been done

if you knew how to do bodywork, you could do it all yourself, just need to buy all the body parts off a range rover

Oh, it was photoshopped? Thats terrible. I saw it in the mini truck thing and they said that all the part for the new range rover mounted right into place on the 01-03 rangers. That kind of gives me the sense that if I swap out my header panel to the 01 style rangers and got all the parts it could be done... or was that information about it all fitting just a crock of ****?

I'd want to really know what im getting myself into first before attempting it. Meaning part lists, PRICES MAINLY, haha, and some other misc stuff that would be good to know but I just though about it again the other day would love to do it.

Its not cheap. The frame is a different width from the RR to the Ranger, and from the Aviatior to th Ranger, if I remember correctly
