ranch hand bull nose on 01 sport?
looking at getting a bull nose replacement front end for my 01 sport,unfortunatly Ranch hand says that the front ends will not fit a sport model.If any of you have done this please let me know Ido alot of fab work on race cars for a living so if all it takes is some slight modification Id be willing to do that.Thanks in advance

if you do alot of fabication work, why not just build your own?

If you are not stuck on the color coordinated grill, just swap to a regular grill. You will need the grill and hood latch assembly.

This is what I am doing when I get my DOR bumper next month.

Thats an idea...you should be able to sell the sport stuff and make a couple of bucks to offset the new bumper cost

The main reason I ordered the sport package was for the lights. I have been getting tired of the monochromatic look.

I just really like the looks of the sports and really wish I had one. What's so different about the sport front ends that the ranch hands won't bolt on?

The grill is taller and the bumper has a cut out for the grill to come down farther.

Ha, Ha, I figured that would draw your attention blue! anyhow ya your 99+ sport grills dip down farther on the bottom and make up for the drop by taken some out of the bumper.the bumpers also have a different bracket then the stock steel bumpers. mine came with the brackets so it bolted right up. but I have been studying the steel bumpers till I am blue in the face and am gonna build one this spring in the shop when I get cought up.
