Should be. Would be dumb to retool every thing for a slight change if any.

The Bumper and Valance- 06
The Grille- 06
The Hood- 04-06
The Amber/Clear Corners- 06
The Taillights- 06 (or get some 93s and paint the bottom yellow with red tint)
The Tailgate - 06 (or shave yours and add those emblems)
The Huge Fender Flares- 06 (i think the 01-05s look better)
The Rearview Mirrors- 06
The Emblems- 06
Header Panel- 04-06
Not sure on this one, Hood latch- 04-06


everything else can be added however you want

Sweet a mini F-150, lol.

I think ScottyG has most of it covered. Its gonna run a pretty penny being brand spanking new and it all has to come from the dealership.

First time to see that for me. All I can say is that I love it! The fender flares are a bit much but the mirrors and the front end make up for it.

I would say that About $25,000 would make this conversion work.

James,

If you really like the look of the '06 rangers then your best bet would be to save your money and trade yours in when you know you won't be upside down on the loan.

If you have your heart set on doing the conversion then you will need to get all the parts from a JY otherwise you will be spending a lot of money to get the parts from ford.

THise fender flares look like the bushwacker brand one's. i think they need to be color matched to the truck to look right.

the best way (cheapest, fastest) to do this is trade your truck for a 2006
you are not going to be able to get 2006 JY parts for a year or so
people need to WRECK their new trucks which thankfully does not happen overnight
if your truck is in good shape you should do OK by selling it outright and buying a new 2006 in the fall when the deals come on!!

I think its funny advertising that since they changed some exterior design, that the '06 model is more "built ford tough" than all the previous, that have the exact same drivetrain...
