assuming the badges(stickers) were removed how do i tell if have the sport model?

 

plastic bumper is a good start

 

....and if the bumper was swaped?

 

Build sheet... in 99' sport models got the plastic bumper, other sport models before 99 just got a painted version of a regular bumper (like the one in ur sig), also they got a painted rear bumper, decals obviously, 99' and later got clear quad bulb headlights and I think thats it.

 

VIN number, there is a vin decoder somewhere on the web try www.allpar.com they have pretty much everything related to all mopar vehicles even the original dodge bros bicycles

 

i see.

is it listed in the vin or somewere on a interior body panel?

 

the vin is located on the dash on drivers siden near the windshield.

it should tell you everything you need to know paint code, engine size, model, where it was amde, im 90% sure it should tell you whether its a sprot model offraod or whatever

Another indicator of it is (99 and later) had outlined sticker badges, and pre 99 had painted body color badges like the one in ur sig again...

 

oops ignore that decoder link. its only for cars this one should do it or at least help a little bit

It looks like yours is a sport and someone put a chrome grill on it.

Either that or it's not a sport and someone put colored bumpers and tags to match.

What makes more sense to you?
