Growing up, my father always had a CB in his vehicles. 4x4s had units on the dash like he was the Snowman, and smaller cars had Radio Shack and Uniden handhelds. The other day, I was caught in an accident on the highway. The advisory website, which I bookmark on my phone, never updated the...

I was cleaning out an old zipper bag in my garage when I realized it contained leftover bulbs from either my 1996 XLT (which was traded in in 2004) or my 2004 Sport Trac (which was sold in the late 2000s). I think, clockwise, they are brake bulbs (3157), maybe glove box or high mount (922LL)...

Let's hope Ford rethinks this. Confirmed: Ford Ranger Raptor Will Not Be Sold in the US

2019 Ford Ranger First Look: Welcome Home - Motor Trend Finally a suitable replacement for my Sport Trac. I'd love to wait for a 2020 or 2021 Raptor package, but I'll likely jump into an FX4 as soon as possible.

I ordered these but they did not fit (bolts too short) because I run an Addco sway bar up front, which is thicker than the OEM bar. They then hit the parts cabinet and I forgot about them. I believe these fit 95-01 Explorers, 01-05 Sport Tracs, and 01-03 Sports. $20.00 shipped via FedEx.

Has anyone done this? My old man's Adrenalin has 255/50R20 Pirelli's that only got 25,000 miles. I'm looking at 265/50R20 Michelin Premier LTXs as a replacement (better warranty, and seemingly very strong reviews). Has anyone gone a size up? I'm aware that the spare also will need to be...

I went to a Sears, Sears Hardware, and Sears Outlet today. I found 5 different hand tool items manufactured in the U.S. Total. A small set of ratcheting wrenches, a screw driver set, a pliers set, a 17 piece Metric 12-point socket set, and a 94 piece mechanic's set. Everything else was...

Does anyone have a spare screw for the center console bezel? I lost one. Thanks much. :thumbsup:

Does anyone have a spare screw for the center console bezel (installs above the HVAC controls)? I lost one. Thanks much. :thumbsup:

I'm replacing the ST. I pulled my Kenwood navigation unit from it today. Included is everything needed to make this work nearly plug-and-play with your 04 or 05 with factory subwoofer, down to the step down from 12V to 5V to prevent the sub pop when powering it up. If you have any other year...

My wife has been through a couple cars during the time I had my Sport Trac. It's is like an old pair of shoes. Sure, it shows its blemishes, and is worn, and smells a little funky, and is dated, and people avoid parking by me in parking lots (I am okay with this), and the speedometer sometimes...

I came across these when clearing out some boxes of things I'm not sure why I saved but nevertheless did. The bottles are "official" Ford Explorer bottles. I bought them during the National Sport Trac Meet in Louisville, Kentucky in 2006 at the Louisville Assembly Plant, where Ford used to...

A handful of houses hear my parents have been burglarized, mostly during the day. On Friday morning, at 10:02 a.m., this car pulled into their driveway, which wraps to the back of their property (out of view from the road). My parents have a well-hidden game camera (which usually catches deer...

The color is a darker black than the photos below show. ("Slightly Darker Black") About $170 from Amazon, which probably is the lowest online. I'll let them go for $125 + shipping (I can give you a quote if you give me your city/state/zip by PM). They're new/unused in their original boxes...

You're telling me we don't have a sub-forum under Other Makes and Models for these? :D My father and I were kicking around the idea of buying a rebuilt 6x6, using it, for among other things, summer cruising (who doesn't like rough rides?), some offroading, and some work on the family hunting...

My first relatively major Explorer-oriented project in years. It felt great to wrench in and around one. :D My folks got back into the towable RV world after a +/- 15 year hiatus. My old man wanted a rear view camera on the trailer for traveling and backing up. After some research I chose...

Does anyone have a schematic or how-to for removing the interior A pillar trim, kick panel trim, and trim along/over the channel on the floor? I'm not keen on the old pull-and-hope-for-the-best approach. I need to wire and hide lines from the mirror to the fuse box, and from the fuse box to...

What I wouldn't give for Ford to revive the Gen II (or make a Gen III truck-based) Sport Trac. The time's come to replace the old ST. I spent Saturday kicking the tires on F-150s. Basically down to this. Only additions (these things are equipped) would be power foldable towing mirrors and...

Very briefly-- I was at a hospital this evening. As I walked out, through a closed cafeteria, there was a lone younger gentlemen, head on the table, crying inconsolably. I didn't stop, fearing I would offend him. I wish I did--I really wish I did, even if to just tap him on the back or...

I have a 2010 Sure-Trac 5x10 high side landscape. It has less than 1,000 miles on it. Bought it new. One of the first times out, I noticed that the left side rim had some grease splatter on it. I wiped it off, towed, and it was back. So, I disassembled, removed the hub, and unpacked...

There's no part of this story that I don't absolutely love. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/rosenwald-md/post/who-is-the-route-29-batman-this-guy/2012/03/28/gIQA8nPjgS_blog.html

I want to download Torque for my phone and pair it with an OBD2 bluetooth reader. If you have done this, with what brand(s) have you had the greatest success? Amazon seems to have a ton, some positive, some negative, and eBay is loaded. It's a jungle out there....

Was sent this by my father, who emptied it out this morning. The Susquehanna River is expected to crest at 38.5 feet; the highest ever was 40 with the devastating 1972 flood. The levies protect to 41, but the small and medium streams/creeks have made an absolutely huge mess (and a foot and a...

Symptoms: Last year I replaced my tires and had the front end aligned. The tires have been rotated at 5,000 miles and 10,000 miles, respectively, and do not show signs of cupping or improper wear due to inflation or deflation. Prior to the front right wheel making noise on a straight path...

First, the Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA) looks to be steadily moving forward, its last meeting with government officials being extremely positive, with a hoped-for opening in early 2013. It should consist of 6,000 acres, and be reasonably priced for daily and yearly permits. The...
