Nice! I'm jealous of your front axle!

Ranger Digger · 10-02-2003, 02:53 PM

It's easier to install then the skyjacker class II lift that was on there before.

Good looking truck man!

What is the difference in the STX's and 4x4's?

What kind of handle throttle mod did you do?

The STX model is just a higher trim level then an XLT. This truck has the upgrade center console and power lubar seats, but has the power windows and locks deleted.

The hand throttle I built is just a bicyle brake handle and cable that I built some mounts for in the cab and can be installed and removed in about 10 sec.

I didn't mean that they couldn't have power windows and locks, I was saying that the original owner chose to delete those options from the STX package.
