- 2003 Ford Sport Trac
Greetings,
I’m about to get a 2003 Sport Trac with a 5speed manual transmission to replace my very aging 1996 Jeep Cherokee, which replaced my dead 89 Bronco (may she rest in peace) II.
I’ll be using said EST for hunting and bad weather driving, not rock crawling just some occasional goat paths and such.
My late Bronco II had two things that made it great for my off road needs; Locking hubs and a manually activated transfer case. The 2003 EST of course has neither. I’ve been stranded more than once in cold weather due to the electronic 4x4 system not working, and have pulled many a fellow hunter out of the thickets whose also failed to work when needed.
So,
To those more experienced with the Sport Trac than I, are there conversion kits for locking hubs and or installing a manually activated transfer case?
Thank you for your time,
Goshawk
