@munnday86 for sure. I've been hating this heat up on tennessee so I bet it's been bad in Florida lol. Looking forward to the vids! Keep doing your thing my man. 👍
Hi we just got a used 2007 3 inch lifted sport trac for my husbands daily truck and 3 weeks and the front brakes sound like they’re grinding 🤦🏼♀️ he did drive in mud at work . Could you do a video on replacing the front brakes??? Please
This question is off topic but having watched all your Sport Trac videos I’m guessing you will have some credible input. I have a 2002 I bought new for my then wife. About 2 years ago I bought it back from her and put in a lot more money in it then makes sense doing a complete mechanical restoration. Except the engine, I did install a cold air system. Credit to her as she took care of it cosmetically inside and out. I’m okay with it as I’ve always liked the look of the Gen 1. After seeing the look on your ST I decided to lift it. Torsion twist in the front and added a leaf in the rear. I think it’s around a 2 to 3” lift. While the 4.0 has always been underpowered following the lift the power decreased significantly. You literally have to drive it like you stole it. It’s sometime scary merging onto the highway. On the highway with even a slight incline I’m constantly kicking in passing gear. It’s no longer a highway rig. 75mph is max for two reasons, no power and excessive vibrations. While I did put oversized tires on it their Yokohama M&S, tread pattern is not aggressive at all. I just took it in to Discount Tire and had the tires rotated and balanced, no improvement. When I watch you opening videos and your breaking the tires loose, albeit your on dirt I can’t do that. Apologies for the lengthy back story for 2 questions. Did you lose power, torque etc when you lifted yours? What is your comfortable highway cruising speed, meaning before any vibrations.
Why didn’t you go with a after market hub you could of done both sides for the price u paid and my 2002 don’t have anything to lock the wheel bearing hub nut down so glad they improved it on yours
The only aftermarket spindles are 4 inch lift spindles. The OEM spindles are not available to buy anymore. I paid 30 bucks for the spindle/rotor assembly at the junkyard. Repacked bearing with grease installed and good to go.
Got rid of mine. Became more of a repair job than it was worth. Electrical issues along with mechanical issues all over the thing. It was time. Problem is the vehicle I bought to replace the Sport Trac is useless due to transmission issues and I can't find anyone who carries my cars transmission to replace it.
glad to see you still have the sport trac. I've watched/used several of your videos to learn what to do with mine. good stuff!
That awesome. Yes I love the sport trac. Is my daily driver.
this mean more sport trac videos later? XD@@munnday86
@@Camo_Chris yes once it starts cooling off. Its so hot outside. Its insane.

@@Camo_Chris thank you. I will. Lot of stuff to do and so little time.
Great Video! Thanks for the Valuable Info! Keep ‘‘em coming!

I have to check and see if the front brake pads need changing.
