Sorry to hijack. Would those Cragar Soft 8s be suitable for some 32-33" tires? I'm looking for options for when I do AAL + TT. If so, what tire size (metric) should I look for?

I've been trying to hunt down a full-length console for a while, but no luck. :( Are there any other full-length options other than another Sport Trac or a 99-01 Sport?

Hey guys, What are the largest tires I can mount on the stock rims with doing just AAL and TT? My Sport Trac is a 4x4, so I know I can't go up more than 2" with the TT. I'm not really looking to do any trimming or a body lift right now. I MIGHT consider trimming if it makes a big difference in...

Awesome! Thanks for the info. Also, another question: I should be fine just replacing the front / rear timing chain tensioners on my existing motor, correct? If I don't have to worry about replacing the entire timing cassets, I might just go that route instead, especially if I don't have to...

So, since the death rattle in my 'Trac is getting louder, I'm looking at options for either replacing the timing chains ($$$), or swapping in a used engine. Finding another 4.0L from a Sport Trac is proving to be difficult. I want to find a 2002+ engine for the upgraded timing chain...

Hah, figures. That color matches my Trac!

I wouldn't mind knowing the seller's name, and what bull bar is that? I love that look.

I'm in CT - also interested in what color interior it has and what options. If you have a gray "high-series" console, I'd love to buy it off of you.

Sounds like he's looking to trade the RX-7, not the Sport Trac.

That diagram didn't seem to have it, but the Ford Parts Giant website did. :D So, the caps are #286B25 or 5Z-99286B25-AA. Thanks guys!

Sorry for the hijack - my bed extender is missing one of the round black plastic caps for the ends of the tubes. Any idea where I can get a spare, or anything else that might fit instead?

Which timing chain(s) need to be replaced to fix the problem? If it's just the crank to whatever chain in the front, I might be able to do this. I'm not really up for pulling the entire engine to do the chain the back, though...

Crap, "ball bearings in a tin can" sounds strangely familiar to what mine sounds like. :( I always thought it sounded like marbles or small screws rattling around somewhere in the intake.

I've been wondering the same thing - is there any disadvantages to a body life on a daily driver / very light off-roading?

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Any well-established shops to check for these things? I was trying to stick to Amazon, but can only seem to find a brush guard for $500 or so.

I want to add one of the two so that I can mount so auxiliary lights to supplement the normal high / low beams. I'm sort of torn as to which to add. Since CT requires front license plates, I believe if I go for a bull bar, I'll need to get a license plate bracket to mount it higher (extra $)...

Is your thermostat housing leaking slowly? It's a common issue, it could be weeping a few drops at a time, causing the smell.

Hi guys, My turn signal switch seems to turn itself off from time to time. If I'm turning, I sometimes have to hold it down (or up) in position so that it will actually stay signaling. If I turn the wheel one way or another just enough, it may finally click and lock in. Does it need to be...

The biggest problem that I'm running into is the bend in the stock pipe before the straight section. That really limits the amount of pipe available to slip an exhaust tip over. I'm not crazy about a single outlet on single exhaust, so I was hoping to find a tip with dual outlets that wouldn't...

Hi guys, I'm hoping to find some kind of bolt-on exhaust tip for the stock exhaust. Ideally, I'd like something that takes the single pipe and splits it into two outlets for a nicer look. Most of what I've found seems like it'll hang way too far out from the side of the truck and just look...

Ah, gotcha. I've been toying with the idea of doing shackles / TT on my otherwise stock Trac, but trying to weigh out the pros and cons.

Just curious - why?

Sorry to thread hijack... I heard that doing a body lift puts a lot of strain on the body mounts, leading to imminent failure (squeaks, etc.). Does a TT and shackles put extra strain on the mounts as well? Toying with the idea of doing those, but I don't feel like replacing body mounts in the...

2001 with 141k.

That, word for word, is exactly what happened to me, lol. The sound of air escaping and everything, AND the six-foot radius puddle of oil. Amazing how fast it can all squirt out. And thus my $30, 20-minute oil change turned into a $100 (oil filter wrench, 2x 5 quarts of Mobil 1 5w-30 synthetic...
