-Anyone know if the grilles will swap on a Ranger XLT? Will a later (2010 may be) grille fit a 2000? Thanks!

 

I am just rough remembering here, it will, but you have to change out the hood, part of the sub mount/assembly, and a few other things. Its not a direct bolt in. The 2000 had a hood with a straight leading edge. The 2004 up had a dip in the front of the hood, and thus a "dropped" area in the grill to accommodate. Most are doing this to get the newer looking hood.

Someone else will chime in if I am wrong.

 

01+ header panel is different than yours. You will need to swap the entire front assembly to make it all fit.

It's not hard and not that expensive

 

Any 1998 - 2000 grille wile be a direct fit. Some 1993-94 grilles may fit with trimming of the upper "wings of the grille; same thing for 1995-97 grilles. 2001-05 won't fit due to the raised opening in the hood. As "grandmas" said, the front clip will need to be replaced.

 

Thanks Guys!

 

Knew it was something like that! Glad someone with better knowledge posted up.
