- 2007 Explorer Sport Trac
Greetings boys and girls!
About a week and a half ago I purchased a 2007 Sport Trac. I've been forum lurking ever since, and decided I should join up and become part of the community.
My new baby is a 4.6L, 4x4, Limited in Ford's maroon (Dark Cherry), and I love it. I've had two explorers before - an old 94 tank and a 2002 2-door sport that I rolled on the interstate, but this is something different. She's a real beauty, and the first (pseudo)truck that I've ever owned. In the short time I've owned here, I've already made use of the bed on numerous occasions, and it's safe to say that I'm not sure I could go without a bed again.
At the moment, she's in stock configuration, but over the next few months I plan to:
Install a Truxxx 2" Lift
Replace her pretty worn tires with something a bit beefier
Install a bullbar
Install two axillary lights on said bullbar with in-cab switch
Wire the radio with a 3.5mm Aux. port
Install front tow hooks
I think that that's all I plan on doing right now. If anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it, as I'm ridiculously novice when it comes to working on vehicles. I plan on learning as I go and getting some real hands-on experience though.
My biggest questions for the time being are 1) Why would a truck come without front two hooks? =( and 2) Will lifting it require replacing anything on a stock configuration such as the suspension or other technical parts whose names I'm not familiar with?
Alrighty, that does it for my first post. I'll try to get some pictures uploaded of it tomorrow or Wednesday! Thanks for reading and any help you may or may not provide. I'll be sure to either update this thread or make a new one to catalog my progress on the upgrades I plan on doing.
