Innovation deserves praise, and a man from Canton, Ohio isn’t getting nearly enough of that for installing a second-generation ’s front fascia onto his . It’s time we change that; it’s time we raise a glass to this genius of automotive design.

I stumbled upon this while mindlessly scrolling through my Facebook feed, which is basically just car stuff because my whole life is basically just cars and travel (to be clear: The travel always involves cars). It’s a 1999 Ford Ranger that the owner, Cameron Downard, crashed some time ago.

The front-end damage gave Downard an idea: He was parting out a “WJ”-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee at the time and figured he’d try using its face to fix the battered Ford Ranger nose.

He had to cut the bumper and fenders using a grinder, but through use of many sheetmetal screws, he made his vision a reality.

Unfortunately, the photo above is the only one Downard has on hand, but it’s worth showing, because I think it works quite well! The hood and fenders looks quite similar to that of the Grand Cherokee; in fact, upon first glance, I thought this was a Jeep that had been hacked away and converted into a pickup.

But no, it’s a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, five-speed manual Ford Ranger with a Jeep face, and it works. It just works. [Raises glass of 80W-90 towards Ohio, chugs it. Falls to floor.]
