The horn went bad in my 02 STrac and I can't find the sucker. Where is it and do I have to have a degree to replace it? I'm told its in the wheel well, but not sure since I can't hear it. How do I get to it and replace it. I'm going to go with an air-horn. :us:

I've looked at website after website and called most, yet I still can't seem to find a rim that I like that also fits. :confused: I know the stock 16x7 rim has a +12 offset but most rims come 16x8 with varying offsets. I'm told I need an offset of about +25 with the wider 16x8 rim but they...

What is the offset/backspacing for the stock Sport Trac rims. I have an 02 4x4 with 16" rims and 255/70 tires. I'm going to replace the rims and want to make the right choice for fitment. :us: Any issues with powder coated rims (chipping, etc)?

Where is a good place to buy some new rims for the ST? I've looked at a number of sites but dang if I find many for the ST or any a what I'd call good prices. :us:

I have poured over numerous posts, old and new and not being the wrench that some of you are I am definately confused. :confused: I can build a house but I just don't grasp all this technical mechanical stuff plus my tools are limited. Anyway, I want to improve the torque and horsepower of...

A friend suggested I consider installing an Under-Drive Pulley on my 02 Sport Trac for the HP gain. Knowing very little about this I'm not sure what to think but I do know there could be some inherent issues with a UD Pulley, so... 1. Is it worth the expense and effort? 2. Does someone even...

I'm not happy with the limited number of grill inserts / replacements for the split style grill on the 02 Sport Trac and am wondering if anyone knows whether or not a regular open style Explorer grill frame/insert will fit? :us: I would love to install 1 of the Harley style grills because...

I am completely lost when it comes to tech issues involving the drive train. I want to improve and upgrade the trans in my 2002 Sport Trac 4x4. What trans do I have? A4LD???? Trans now has 52k. What kit/rebuild would work best? I'm looking to improve general driving/shifting...

Now that I've got the shocks taken care of an intake and exhaust (cat back) are next. Oh, and I'll be adding an EE sway bar. The only given here is that the intake must allow connection of all hoses, etc and the exhaust must be stainless steel. The truck is a bone stock 2002 Sport Trac...

I've got to replace the stock shocks on my 2002 4x4. I've had Rancho's in the past and they are simply too stiff. I've had Edlebrock's of a 96 EX but they wore out super quick. I'm told the Bilsteins are too stiff as well. How about the Monroe Reflex or Sensa-Trac shocks? Or any other...

Its been quite a while since I last posted due to a serious illness but I'm trying to get back and just got to get this issue fixed before it kills me. How can I stop or lessen the rear wheel spin/slippage on my 02 Sport Trac 4x4. If its wet out, even a little bit, the rear wheels break...

Am trying to finish my 2002 Explorer Sport Trac with the entire Harley theme. Does anyone know if a standard Explorer grill or an F150 grill will fit my Sport Trac? I want to get one of the new Putco Harley grills but they won't work with the stock Sport Trac grill. Can my grill be modified if...

Its been a while since I've online (been ill) but I'm back and I got a new set of wheels, a 2002 Explorer Sport Trac, anyhoo can anyone tell me if the Harley Rims (18" or 20") will fit my Sport Trac without any problems. I don't have the time or the physical capability of doing mod's anymore...

As I was sitting here reading some posts the alarm on my 96 X which is sitting in the driveway started going off. No reason. Nobody is out there. Why? Yesterday I noticed that I had a "door ajar" warning light on. All the doors are fine. Why? We are going thru a bitter cold snap, could...

I have a 96 X in the Willow Green color which is really nice but is discontinued. I think they made it 95-97 only. I've tried everyplace I can think of including eBay but haven't found a set yet. I need a set before my carpet needs to be replaced. Custom set would be nice with the Boss X...

What size tires are you using with your 17" rims? I just ordered a set of 17" Centerline rims and just want an idea of what size to look at and what sizes fit. My 86 has a stock suspension. I was going to go with a 245/65 but there are only a couple maunfacturers making this size. Very...

I recall reading in some older posts that some of you had purchased the MAC system for the 95-96 4.0 OHV motor and had troublesome fitment problems. I spoke with a small dealer today who said that he's sold 20+ of these units with no recall or problems noted. If anyone has had problems could you...

Ok, I finally narrowed my choice of wheels down to a couple models. I'm going to replace my factory 15" mag with an aftermarket 15" mag and either a 245/75/15, 255/70/15, or 245/70/15 tire (probably the Pirelli ST). I will also be installing new twin tube IAS shocks. In any case are there any...

Need to find a new web site for wheels, something other than TireRack that has a good selection and lots of info. Want new wheels for my X.

The one thing that I've never liked about the interior of the X is the fact that it has a column shifter (auto). Has anyone ever done OR seen a center console conversion? I just like the feel and function of a console shifter. Somehow remove the ash tray/storage compartments, make or modify...

I would like to change my stock 15" wheels and tires but am not sure what size to go with. I would prefer a 16" wheel and want a wide, soft riding (street) tire with good wet weather and snow traction. I love the looks of the Yokahama Geolanders but don't know anyone that has them. For that...

Its time to replace the OE shocks on my 96 XLT. I was debating between going to go to the Edelbrock IAS or the TrailMaster SSV shocks. I have heard some negative comments about the IAS shocks but would like to hear you input. What shocks? Stock X, not lifted or lowered. Standard 15" wheels, so far.

I'm about ready to replace the shocks on my stock 1996 XLT 4.0 OHV. A friend recommended the Trailmasters but I would like input from those of you who have done this before. I am looking for the best possible road ride. I do some off-road but only when I'm hunting and I never take this X into...

I'm getting to the point of looking towards any modification, no matter how small. Has anyone replaced their stock water pump fan blade with an aftermarket fan, be it a flex fan or whatever? If so, did you notice any improvement in temperature reduction, noise, anything? Ideas for other...

Has anyone seen/found a cowl induction hood, hood scoop or hood clip that is made to fit a 96 Explorer 4 Dr? I've tried several places with no luck at all. Would prefer a hood clip.
