Thanks a million! More coming very soon

I am certainly no hero but I am a simpleton mechanic RU-vidr who would love to see your version of a modded Sport Trac once you have yours looking like how you want it! Keep me posted brother! Until I hear from you next, keep on tracin'

Muchas gracias

C11 Currently On 311 and still runs like she’s new! Unbelievably tough trucks.

+Greg Smith Thanks Greg, means a lot. It just got to the point where I found such a passion for this little truck that I wanted to help others online with their love for it too. Still not very known but any and all compliments are awesome

Thanks for the support bro!

Sure how can I help?

I checked my levels name topped them off now tonight I have major leaks around the hose into the housing where thermostat goes amd on bottom of truck where hose connects to maybe bottom radiator it’s dark I’m afraid it’s sabatoge my girl is very dark she’s capable of loosing hoses but I hoped it’s normal after topping off or is the whole housing going out the hoses were loose I tightened them and mad a trip no problem came home it was leaving amd steaming again

I would recommend taking it in to mechanic. If you have already righted everything up and double checked everything then it may need replacement parts.

Josh Beyers Thanks Josh, these trucks are so much fun to work on eh! Do you have a link to photos of your truck?

I got my car in there too. I have a few on my Facebook. Still a lot of work to go. Just did all the front lights and grill

+chandlerm I actually made a video on how to do that, it is on my channel. It's really really simple AND FREE! Contact me if you have any other questions about the exhaust video by commenting on it. Thanks man

I actually did it myself with some tape, news paper, spray paint and eyeing it up.

Also what about all of the chrome interior stuff? Is that also a kit you just used?

+xXICEWOLFXx I did the red lights myself but the interior chrome was from CarID.com and comes as a kit. I have now removed all the chrome because it's dents and scratches easily and instead hydrodipped all of the pieces.

Thanks for the reply man! I want to do blue in my Sport Trac (same year) and I was wondering how you did it? So would you not suggest all of the chrome and pretty but easy stuff like that then?

+xXICEWOLFXx My friend if I can give you any advice for working on this truck it's that if you think it'll be easy. It isn't. And if it is easy, it's not good. I would say do not buy the chrome, if you don't know what hydrodipping is, look into it. I recently got my interior trim hydrodipped in carbon fiber and am currently working on a video for it so keeps your eyes peeled for it. The lights weren't actually too bad. As long as you can take the trim to pieces to get behind the instrument cluster it's just a matter of switching bulbs. Go to superbrightleds.com and get 6 blue LED's that will fit behind the gauge cluster. Next step is to get a new cluster cover from blackcatcustoms.ca with blue tint. Then you will have your blue glow.

Dude! Thank you so much! I got these halogen bulbs with a blue film over them. They're crap tbh but you suggest leds and a blue cluster cover? I will definitely look into that. As for the rule of anything good being hard? AMEN BROTHER! I love this truck to death but working on it is definitely a labor of love XD

I purchased them off eBay but they might of been taken down for one reason or another. Mine still work perfectly! Keep checking, maybe try Amazon or kijiji, thanks for the support Aubrey

+Charlzwilliams1 Thanks Charlz, I got the seats of AndysAutoSport.com, they are made by Cipher Auto and are the cheapest things on the market which was a huge shocker to me. I will make sure to make a video on the seats as soon as I can so keep your eyes out for it. Love the support man!

Awesome! Thank you!

+Charlzwilliams1 Videos are up, I did it in two videos because of the crazy steps for the back seats, hope you enjoy.

Depends on the running boards. For me, I had mine on when I got my truck and removed them because didn't need them and snow built up on them making them slippery and heavy. I am not saying they are not a good idea but sadly there aren't any super good running boards for this type of truck. If you can find a good pair then they should have instructions. Several require custom fabrication or reinforcement under the truck as the metal it is mounted to is not very thick. Let me know how it goes mate

I sadly never got into forums. I want to but don't have the time :'(

I went with the Dual Beam - Bi-Xenon: 9007 Full Xenon HID Conversion Kit found at this link: www.xenonhids.com/ford/2001/explorer-sport-trac.html I hope that helps Brandon.

Thanks mann!

www.xenonhids.com/ford/2005/explorer-sport-trac.html That would be the link for your truck.

SportTracAutomotive Thank you very much!

SportTracAutomotive Also how have you dealt with the problem with the thermo housing? Mine has cracked now twice.

I have never run into that problem but if it happens to me or I find anything wrong with it I promise that I will make a video on that.

I will make a video on how to switch out the deck but sadly the 5600 which is that model of deck is no longer produced. I bough the last one in my city

+TominatorAutomotive okay and thanks, do you have any recommendations for decks similar to that one?

+Juan Barrera-Frey the newest model from pioneer is an upgraded version of it. I believe it's called a 5700 but do a little research and you will find something you love for a good price. I still love mine, works fantastically.

+TominatorAutomotive okay and thank you so much, your a big help to me man I can't thank you enough

The bulbs are the only thing he changed. The fog lights come with the truck

Brann I used the Pioneer AVH-X5600BHS but they have stopped making those sadly.

Shit, thanks for replying!

Here is a link to what you are looking for: www.aliexpress.com/store/product/White-LED-Wind-Power-Car-Daytime-Running-Lights-DRL-Vehicle-Auto-Car-Driving-Light-Fog-Lamp/506629_2050036854.html

When I removed the original back seats and saved some of the components that mount the seat to the floor and then I custom built two frames (one for each seat), powder coated them, added on the moving components and then mounted the seats on top and then put them both in my truck. 100% custom job and a one off.

Shawn Friday Vision Electronics

Thanks. They're from Cipher Auto

Shawn Friday It is the AVH-X5600BHS

And is there a way you could possibly show us how to install it?

+David Bennett Thanks for asking, I have many times thought about doing my speakers but I do not want to show too many complex wiring videos because I am not a professional and I always recommend getting most complex wiring done by a professional because I will show you the home made way, not the pro way and I do not want my advice to be responsible for any problems
