My first post.....really enjoy reading the threads! Hope someone can answer my questions.
I just bought an 01 Sport Trac....the previous owner must have hit the right side of the front bumper causing the plastic to crack and he removed the steel reinforcement bumper and cut the plastic bumper at the indention all the way across. He said he intended to install an aftermarket tubular bumper.
I received the steel reinforcement and nerf bars which were also removed.
I purchased a new bumper cover and want to reinstall the steel bumper, BUT I did not received the bumper brackets with the bumper.
What I need from the forum:
What is the part number of the bumper bracket? I've been searching Ebay and find a much cheaper bracket for an Explorer. Will it not work on the Sport Trac?
What are the nut and bolt sizes/thread sizes that I need to install the steel bumper?
Do I need anything specific to attach the bumper cover? I haven't tried to remove the remaining upper portion.
What are the nut and bolt sizes/thread sizes that I need to install the nerf bars? I know that I need three nut/bolt sets for each of the three brackets for each bar.
Additionally, the driver electric seat only moves about two inches from the farthest back setting. I'm not really short, but don't feel comfortable having to stretch to reach the gas and brake. The seat moves back and forth, though not much. It moves up and down in front and back. Any ideas or do I just need to get a new seat track?
Lastly, the driver side door lock doesn't always unlock when using the remote or key to unlock the door. I took the panel of and lubricated what I could reach with some dry lubricant.
All responses are welcome!
