Long story; I have an 01 Sport Trac 4x4... I am the original owner. I relocated from CO to VA and it doesn't pass the strict vehicle inspection here (biggest reason; ball joints, non functional e-brake, exhaust rust through, wheel bearings, and a slew of 'minor stuff'... i.e. headlights are...

Long story; I have an 01 Sport Trac... I am the original owner. I relocated from CO to VA and it doesn't pass the strict vehicle inspection here (biggest reason; ball joints, non functional e-brake, exhaust rust through, wheel bearings, and a slew of 'minor stuff'... i.e. headlights are hazy...

Are any of you running a 285 75 16 tire on stock wheels with a TT/Shackles and NO wheel spacers or body lift? If so, how do they fit? Require any trimming, etc? Thanks!! This is the size I really want to run, but was told I would have to have spacers with. I have stock 01 five stars I...

I wondered if anyone is running these. I currently have Pro Comp AT's that I've been stoked with, but I have a neighbor with a full service shop and he's offered to help give me a deal on (whatever) tires. First off, I actually wheel my ST quite a bit and I was dead set on another set of Pro...

I looked for a member project and couldn't find one on how to take the dash apart to replace the bulbs under my tachometer. I'm sure there is one, I just couldn't find it!! :) This evening my tach. went dark but all the other lights appear lit when my lamps are on. Does anyone know which...

I wanted to know if anyone was running 235 85 16 tires? I have looked at this size before and I know some Range Rover and Discovery guys that run these for wheeling, and wanted to see if anyone had put them on. I have a TT and shackles so I'm not worried about the height increase as a...

Well today my stock battery gave up the ghost, or so I thought... after shopping in 20 degree temps. I tried to start my truck and heard a click and then nothing.... no accessory power no door lock or power windows, nothing. I pulled the key out and hit the unlock button on the key fob and heard...

OK, some of us (ok specifically myself) were critical as to the validity of the Marine Iraq puppy video. I saw this and thought I'd pass it on. Glad to see that the leathernecks are taking care of the situation. Good on them, I believe this was a grotesque and seriously isolated event. The...

Ok, I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 running XP Pro and while we were having significant house electrical work done... I unplugged it and (someone) proceded to use it till the battery went to 0 and died. (8 months ago the original battery was recalled by dell and had to be swapped out... we normally...

I wanted to know if it is possible to copy a pic from my library back onto my computer and view it in it's standard size? See, I have two pics in my library that I put on this site before I my old desktop hard disk went 'kaboom' and the only place I have those pics is here. When I right-click...

Ok, I have researched ebay and a few other sites and after contacting a local wrecking yard, I've decided to look into center console lid refinish options. Honestly, I would rather spend an extra $15 + shipping and have someone else refinish my trusty console lid; so who has experience with...

I did some searching and found some nice advice for having the rear diff serviced (ie someone, I believe it was Johnny O?) said to have it done at a quickie mart for like 39.95 which rocks! I'll have to get the Motorcraft L/S additive at Ford -on the off chance it still engages- and make sure...

I just wanted to ask (I know I last asked this about 6 months ago) who has 285 75 16's on the stock wheels with a TT in the front and how is the fitment? I am wanting to replace my 32x11.50's with the 285's on OEM (01) ST wheels. I've been told that I will have rubbing issues but the...

I know this is random and usually I don't post minor trivial questions, but has anyone else here gone through an inordinate number of bulbs in their hi (3rd) mount brake light? In 6 years I haven't replaced a SINGLE bulb, save for 4 of these brake light bulbs. I know it's minor, it just seemed...

I have a hose which looks like it's coming from the tranny to the transfer case and when it meets the t-case it is split and looks like it's leaked some fluid. It is a soft rubber hose (that I thought previously was a vent line) and has NO clamp at all when it meets the t-case. It looks like...

I know it's a random question, but I am trying to find out if there is a difference between the offset on an OEM 16x7 Sport Trac wheel (most significantly the 5 spokes on the 01's) and the tear drop or similar 16x7 OEM Explorer alloys. I know the common off-the-cuff answer would be "NO...

I haven't ever gotten any interest of anyone on this board (besides Chad) to join on a trail, but I wondered if anyone would be interested in running Slaughterhouse Gulch on 10/13 (Sat). It should be a relatively short day run. The trail is a solid moderate trail (maybe on an...

OK, I've read through a few of the lighting projects and maybe I missed what I was looking for but had no luck.... my question is; (I have an 01) When I was wheeling in Ouray, somehow (I'll guess excessive vibration after wheeling for 6 years! :) the small reflector that goes over the bulb...

I have some OEM 16x7's on the way and I wondered if anyone knows what the weight of the stock OEM 2001 5 spoke aluminum wheels (each) are? I am trying to figure out how much the difference in weight will be to my 15x8's with 32x11.50's.... so I can figure on how much more my brakes will feel a...

Does anyone know why Moog has an updated design to the OE Upper Control Arms? I just wondered... I was looking at Ball Joints in case I have to do them and Moog catalogs seperate control arms and thus seperate replacement ball joints depending on if you have their updated design.... with...
