would this look good on a lowered truck



93-97 Ford Ranger Front Lower Valance Panel W/Fog New:eBay Motors (item 130345208808 end time Nov-19-09 13:04:19 PST)

 

Only $40?

Do it

 

thats what im saying

 

and to answer your question, it looks amazing!

 

do 2000's have the same bumpers as a 97?

Or would fitting this require some molding work...

 

Different bumpers. you may be able to somehow fit it, but i've never seen it done before....just get an edge bumper!

 

Do it, the 4x4 Valances look great on all 3rd gens.

 

all 3rd gens should be fogs!.

 

Looks realy good on a lowered truck....but watch the freaking curbs when you're parking at a gas station or something....I love watching people pull too far up and crunch thier bumpers.

 

Lol i did that the other day in my sisters car because im so used to being a lot higher in my truck :P

And yes it looks great on all gen3 and hell on gen2s as well..

 

yeah... i aleady have one of those.. on my STOCK 93... you will need these brackets (the ones below the bumper) unless you fab some up for your fogs



this valance, sorry kind of a ****ty picture... on a lowered truck it would look alright.. i took mine off because it would catch on something when wheeling.. mostly deep drain ditches and stuff..

 

I always wondered what those brackets looked like since im going to mount the valance on my 92... Do they just bolt to the back of the bumper or what?

 

yup they do.. just 2-3 bolts on each side hold them on.. they are pretty beefy bracket for a fog light.. i'll grab some pics how the bolt on tomorrow..

 

Ok sweet thanks...

 

no problem. haha

 

Do you think they would be easy to mount to a bumper they dont belong on or is the bumper actually designed for those. I hope this makes sense lol.

 

its possible.. not sure tho... im on google right now and im comparing the 92 bumper to the 93 bumper and they are similiar... dimension wise.. hmm...

too bad i dont have a 92' bumper laying around or i'd try it for ya..

 

Ah thanks anyhow what i was really wondering i guess is.. Where they bolt onto the bumper is there like a special bracket on the 93 bumper that the bolt too or is it just to the bumper its self...

 

on the 93 bumper there is a metal bracket that goes across the corner of the bumper (haha if that makes sense) then the fog light bracket bolts onto that if i remember correctly. it will defiinitely crawl under the truck today and take some pics and will post them in this thread so the OP can see too.. haha

 

Ok i knoe exactlly what bracket your talking aboutt. Sweet deal. sounds like i could make it work pretty easy..

 

yes please do take pics so i can see what im gettin in to.

 

i will run out right now and take some for ya.

EDIT:

got some pics for ya.. just uploading to photobucket at the moment.

here's the bracket that bolts on the bumper itself


then this is where the fog light bracket bolts onto the bracket on the bumper


then this is what it looks like with the fog light bracket i just held it up there to show you


and just for ****s and giggles i snapped a pic of how my 93 bumper bolts on. the 2 silver big nuts are the ones that hold the bumper on, there's 2 on each side. just in case you were wondering.


and thats it.. i might have a picture of my bumper off the truck somewhere. maybe not tho..cant remember i'll see if i can find it.

also if you look at the bolts on the bottom of the bumper thats where the valance mounts.

 

thx bro

 

no problem.. does that help ya out? those were the best pics i could get as it was pretty squishy under a stock truck!!! haha

 

yea thanks bro. im going to do this after the motor swap. i have to get a diff moter toe 2.9 not goning to work
