Are you sure they have the same wheelbase cuz the 4 door would be longer than the regular cab. Maybe get on off a 2 door explorer. I would measure everything before you buy it.

i would do that....but i want the look of the eddie bauer ones not the color.

I have an eddie bauer explorer, and all the measurements seem to line up, so we'll see how it goes....

In pretty sure someone has done it. But I haven't and would really like to see it done. Make sure you take some pics.

P.S. I will buy your flares off your ranger

I believe the fender wells are bigger in the ranger as well.

Alot of negativity, go for it dude. It might not match up perfect, but if you have to cut it, you can sand the whoe thing, use body filler to smoothe the transitions then paint whatever color. If your not worried what your explorer will look like naked. LOL
