    Thanks for the tip. I'll remember that for making future duplicates.

    Flip Key (Integrated Key & Remote)

    I thought I'd share my experience in case anyone else wants to try this. I bought a integrated flip key from eBay because I was annoyed by having a separate remote and key. The one I bought was just a shell - it included the blank key, and the case with the button silicone skin. I had to...

    Plasti-Dip OEM Grille vs. Mesh Grille?

    I went and took a look at this thread - thanks for the tip. I think I'm going back to the mesh grille after seeing the different examples there. Anyone interested in a dipped stock grille? :)

    Plasti-Dip OEM Grille vs. Mesh Grille?

    Thanks for the great feedback guys. The Ford badge is the only reason I've leaned towards the plastic dip grille. It looks like it would require more presicion and patience than I have to attach the badge to the mesh with a professional result. I'll look into it and if I mess it up, I can...

    Plasti-Dip OEM Grille vs. Mesh Grille?

    Hi guys, I picked up my 2008 ST Limited V8 4x4 about two months ago with 50K on it and am loving this little truck. However, I had one issue - chrome... I like black, but I don't care for chrome much and the chrome grille had to go. I bought a black mesh grille and put it on when I bought...

    2007 - 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Keyless Entry Code

    I went nuts today trying to find the keyless entry code for my ST because I don't have the original code card. I looked everywhere on pretty much all modules and fuse boxes I could access without major disassembly. I finally came across a good reference for where to find the code on YouTube...

    Zcspec's 08 ST Ongoing Build Project

    I would, but I haven't received my control arms and I want to open it up once. Good luck on the job.

    Zcspec's 08 ST Ongoing Build Project

    Awesome updates Zcspec! Thanks for keeping this thread going. I've always been a compulsive modder and since I'm new to the ST, I'm getting great ideas. Looking forward to my spacers to arrive. I got the pricey hub/wheel centric billet ones that are probably not worth the extra money. I'm also...

    Blacking out my grill with Plasti Dip.

    First things first - I ordered a 6 can pack of this stuff from Amazon - pretty cheap and figured it's good keep a bunch of it on hand for odd things. I installed my new black mesh grille, bull bar and hood protector today. With the OEM grille off the vehicle, I'm going to attempt to...

    Blacking out my grill with Plasti Dip.

    Great job on the grille. I think it looks fantastic and didn't know the finish can be that clean. I wish I had seen this before I bought my black mesh grille because I do actually want to retain the Ford badge on the grille. The stock grille is not ugly, it's just... well... chrome? I'll...

    Transmission........

    Great thread. I have this same issue and it gives me peace of mind that there is nothing mechanically wrong with the transmission. It tends to be more prevalent when I drive more aggressively.

    Climate Control Unit

    I assumed as much after looking at the parts diagrams. Thanks for the response. I'll look into different knobs, but can just live with how it is.

    Tinted windows & Flex shift handle installed

    Planning to install truxxx level kit and BTR control arms son. Debating whether I want to do it myself or take it to a shop.

    Climate Control Unit

    I think my ST Limited must be the only one without HVAC dual zone climate controls. I have the dial type HVAC controls that the XLT has. Is there any way to retro fit the climate control unit into use the digital one, by changing the unit and face plate? Or is it a completely different system...

    Tinted windows & Flex shift handle installed

    Just noticed you are in Seattle too - what are the odds of a same day install!

    Tinted windows & Flex shift handle installed

    Yours looks great on the camel interior. I also did this same mod today and I like how it turned out - what was Ford thinking with the Sport Trac shifter? I didn't have any problem with the screws, but I was paranoid that I drilled the new holes crooked, but the handle turned out straight. My...

    2008 Sport Trac Brake Upgrade?

    Has anyone tried installing stainless steel braided brake lines? I usually do this on all my vehicles. I recently bought my 08 ST Limited and am so disappointing at the lack of after market performance parts for this vehicle. I like it, but probably would have had second thoughts if I had...

    New Member and First Time ST Owner

    Hi guys, I'm new here - first post! I just bought a 2008 Sport Trac Limited V8 4x4 and loaded with all options in black, for what I thought was a great price. It only has 50K miles on it. I have along history of owning modded cars and trucks - this ST is bone stock and I'm about to embark on...
