Newbie from Philippines

[PIexplorer]

Hi there

Newbie from Philippines, I am currently living on/off in the Philippines and have been driving a 2003 Explorer Sport Trac 4x2 from new since January 2003. The car has done almost 100.000km or 60.000 miles without any hick-ups.
Car is stock except for the Old Man Emu shocks that has replaced the original ones, this minor upgrade greatly improved the handling of the car.

I have a few minor problems with the car and also some questions to upgrades, I hope you will be able to help me with that.

There are quite a few Sport Tracs in th country, mainly due to a no tax import a few years back, however the Sport Tracs are no longer sold here - sadly.

Thanks
PIexplorer

Welcome to the board. Good score on the truck but too bad they aren't sold there anymore. Are you able to get parts if you need them there?

No problems with parts, a lot of Ford dealers here (still selling Explorer and Expeditions). Most wear parts are in stock, but things like the inner rear door handle (that tends to break -I had two of them broken) must be taken in from US thorugh the dealer, and that takes time.
