front bumpers?

anybody have any ideas on front bumper conversions for my 87 b22? my pal has a 94 ranger bumper which would look shweet and the fitment is damn good, width wise, i no i hafta make new brackets for anything but thats fine, my truck is in my autobody class n the body is 80% done and my bumper was perdy much ripped off, aint it funny how u can kinda weld with rust? well the air chisle fixed that now all i need is an idea for a bumper. help me out. i dont wana spend a whole lot. just a common bumper so i can buy it used. i like rangers and explorers but the rangers r perdy expensive n aint none that r used round here. anyways thanks in advance - fanninator
ps- forget toyo bumpers, i dont likem.

I was just thinking the same thing today at work. We had a honda passport in the shop and I was wondering what that bumper would look like on a mazda. It is a plastic cover with the metal reinforcement behind it so it would mount a little different. I can't deceide if I like painted bumpers like the honda one or sonething chrome like the toyota's. I guess I'll just have to get one and see what it looks like. Arond here we see rangers and s10's in the junk yard so it wouldn't cost much to try one of those either.

i was walking out of work last saturday morning, and saw a later model isuzu amigo, the front end was torn up a little, but i could tell that the front bumper looked cool, it has a big opening in the center sorta reminicant of an opening for a intercooler or something, but i thought it would look cool on a mazda, sorta like a body kit on a civic or sumthin...

I have a ranger bumper on my truck now.. and you have to decide one of two things with it.. 1. it will stick a little past the fenders and line up fine in the front.. or 2. stick past the fenders and have a gap up front. I did a little bit of the compromise.. i lined it up w/ the fenders.. but sectioned a little piece out of it.. not big at all.. but it gives it a better fit in the front i think.. and no i don't have any good pics of my new truck w/ the bumper.. its still top secret.. well until it matches lol.

PS- i will sell you my ranger bumper for however much it costs to get a grant kustoms bumper LOL.. j/k.. but seriously if i find one i will let you know.. altho you might want to drop a line on

yea i was wondering about a bumper lately too seems i need to replace mine and the brackets too (it hit a mercedes) and i dont wanna replace it all stock soo i was thinking of something else but i dont want a yota bumper since too many people do them they are all over although i did think about a ranger bumper or maybe a newer path finder (sister in-law has a 98 i like the bumper) or something but i still havent decided doesent anyone have pictures of different bumpers other then the yotas they can post would help make up my mind and maybe some other people too

newer b-series bumpers dont look to bad, same with the 97+ pathfinder bumpers, or newer yota bumpers

lots of options out there, just gotta find something you like......

thanks for the speedy replys everybody. the passport looks perdy nice but it just aint me. i think the amigo just looks like a civic but its still a neat idea but it aint me eather. the pathfinder is badass! so here it is. depending on which one i run upon first its gona be a 93-97 ranger, 99ish explorer w/ fog lights or the 97+ pathfinder. thanks again later - fannin

There was another post about this a while back.. And this guy did a newer style ford explorer bumper, it was badass!!

heres what i found i love this one if someone could post it
