    Transmission Crossmember Redesign Questions

    Here's the best pic I can find of it right now. I can't find the group of pics I took that day anymore.

    OEM Hard Bed Cover Replacement

    It’s a custom SAS/SOA setup. If you click my SAS registry link in my signature you’ll see more info and pics on it. If you wanted a much cheaper option, click my regular registry and you’ll see pics when I had just a 5” lift and 35s.

    Running boards rock sliders

    Looks good! I wouldn't trust them being bolted to the body to hold the entire weight of the truck, but the extra support from the tubing will definitely help to keep them sturdier than the 3 mounts that come factory and will hold up a lot better over time on trails.

    ford 2002 sport trac steering wheel on off control cover came off

    The cruise control button? If so, the rubber is separated, and your best bet is going to be replacing them. They're pretty cheap and easy to replace.

    Which ABS Sensor is it? Which Scanner to use?

    I have a cheaper Actron OBD2 reader that also read ABS codes. It's a function that should be listed if it is capable of doing so.

    '02 S/T Cruise Control Switch Cover replacement

    The switches are cheap (can get them off Amazon for ~$20) and it takes 20-30min to install them. The switches I bought came with new wiring, but I just reused my factory wiring so I didn't have to route new wire around the steering wheel. There are plenty of videos that walk you through and the...

    Newbie question

    For the WJ, yes. I think I found the kit for my 350 cheapest from Amazon.

    Extended Travel CV Axle Half Shafts

    Those are a neat idea. I'm curious how long they'll last in use.

    Suspension rebuild kit

    If you go with Moog, make sure to get their higher end series. The low end is a value brand that isn't any better than the other cheap things it seems.

    Newbie question

    For new rotors and pads, I would suggest going with a Powerstop kit. They're fairly cheap and pretty good. I put the Z36's on my F350 and the regular set on my WJ with good results on both.

    Looking to keep stock height and more of an aggressive wheel and tire .

    15s are hit or miss with whether they will fit on these trucks. Most will, but some will not clear the front calipers. It is best to test fit on to make sure. That said, there are a lot more tire options in 16s and 17s as I found out trying to find a good AT for my XJ.

    3rd Brake Light for 2004 Sportrack XLT -- where is the Connector ?

    I've heard that it is pretty far under the headliner. However, I have never tried to find it myself, and most people have just cut off the connector that is right there and spliced in the wires for the new light. All I did was replace the existing bulbs with LED bulbs on mine.

    Body lift kit for a 2001 Sport Trac 4x4 automatic?

    Performance Accessories p/n 70023 is what you need.

    Off road bumpers 03 Ford Explorer Sport Trac XLT

    Yup one of the guys on the ST Facebook works for them and they have decided to produce them for our trucks. I can’t remember when he said they’d be available on the website, but it isn’t a long time from now

    01STrunner's Sport Trac D44 SAS/SOA

    Upped to 37s last August and haven't been able to do a whole lot of wheeling on them, but definitely a noticeable difference in clearance from the 35s. Still learning the limits as I go slow over stuff and then end up clearing it by a 6"... Had some miscellaneous issues here and there like body...

    Any South Carolinians?

    Hey there from the upstate! I'm up in Greer about an hour north of Gulches ORV.

    Off road bumpers 03 Ford Explorer Sport Trac XLT

    New to forums, huh? haha A new option that has come up in the last month is a front and rear bumper offering by a company called Move Bumpers. Check them out to see if they fit your needs.

    Box next to brake pedal

    Looks like some sort of security system harness. Can you search any of the numbers on the stickers online to get an idea? That pic has a lot of them hidden due to the wrinkles.

    Dash board going crazy

    Could be a crapped out battery. Could be a crapped out cluster. When does it go crazy? On startup or randomly while driving? Does it just die and show nothing after even though the truck is still running?

    Bad starter?

    My bet is it's the battery that has a dead cell in it. I've had that same thing happen a few times on different vehicles. When it doesn't have a draw it seems to have good voltage, but as soon as a load is placed on it, the battery craps out. Easiest way to test is to jump it off and head to an...

    Tallest tire size

    Tallest tire to fit stock without rubbing is 265/70/16 which is shorter than the 235/85/16 by an inch.

    Dashboard lights

    Did you try to roll the dash brightness knob up and down a couple times by chance? Sometimes that can solve the issue.

    2004 st front bumper cover

    01-03 Sports and 01-05 Sport Trac share the same front clip. I used a Sport clip to practice cutting before cutting mine.

    Wheel hop while turning

    Could the CV axles be in a bind? do you know what they adjusted? Are you in 2wd for sure?

    Suspension Lift Kit for 2005 Sport Trac

    If I were you I'd go with either a 2" torsion twist and an AAL in the rear, or do the 3" BL (or do both like I did and run 35s). Both of these options are much cheaper and more readily available than a super lift that is no longer made for these trucks. The 2" lift will allow you to fit some...
