Hey been snooping around here silently for awhile, but now im starting to get a little more involved with my truck and need some help
cant seem to find the names of these parts, or evaluate how hard they will be to replace, so speak to me ranger gurus
(btw bought the truck like this, looks to me like a really cheap fix)



and yes that is a blinker bulb in my headlight housing

 

Your header panel is cracked. It goes across the whole front of the truck. It could be repaired but new is not that expensive.

 

Yeap header panel. Heres one on ebay $50 plus free shipping http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-99...item1e63dbf2ad

 

Chk the JYs first.
There is always a Ranger with a good front end.
If this is the ’04 not sure but willing to guess that any header panel from an 01 or newer will work.
You might even find an EDGE in the JY and you can get all of the parts to put on a Honey Comb Grille and the Power Dome Hood… and put the directionals where they belong.

 

I like it
checkin nearby jy's and if not ill get the ebay one
whats that piece supporting the headlight called? cracked at the corner in the bottom pic
anything to look out for/be prepared for when taking it apart? all i really have is basic household tools
