CityNG: You quoted the wrong link. The link I posted was meant for those who don't know what a Sport Track is and fortunately the picture in the link is a yellow truck. O am seeing people buying cars I never ever thought people will warm up to other brands. |

diportivo: What if he's not the one? I've seen lemon green coloured highlander, I've seen porsche yellow coloured xterra, I've seen purple coloured RR evoque. Many people could just decide to customize their car body's paint just as Mr Siena is doing his truck. 1 Like |

Nice rig, bud! That yellow paint looks real sharp and crisp. That tailgate - honestly, I would source a replacement. The Red Terror has gotten too great a hold on it for long-term redemption. And some more advice - whilst plastic bedliners are good at protecting the bed from rough and sharp cargo, they can retain moisture, which will rot the bed from the INSIDE OUT. I got rid of mine just in time, with just light surface rust to treat, before the truck went in for paint. My tailgate was rust-free too. I would be looking at Rhino liner. It's hard-wearing, and doesn't have an air gap between the metal to store moisture. I'll be following this thread. 2 Likes |

Bossforeva: I-210 Eastbound in Pasadena, California during this mornings commute. This truck is not a factory color and first I've ever seen. |

CityNG: That truck is a F-150 it is bigger than the sport trac |
Re: Updated.. My 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Thread - "Truck Of The Yellow Sun" by Nobody: 1:51am On Oct 29, 2014 |
sultaan: Nope, it's at least an F-250 if not a F-350. F-150 (at least of that era) was never available in diesel which this was, a turbo diesel. I also did refer to it as the "big brother". The Sport Trac is/was built on the old Explorer/Mazda B series small truck chassis. |

I changed the engine oil recently. First phase. Was in briscoe ford at ikeja and bought a Motorcraft oil filter. Got 5w30 synthetic engine oil. |
Re: Updated.. My 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Thread - "Truck Of The Yellow Sun" by Denn(m): 11:08pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
This is the oil filter I removed.

Re: Updated.. My 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Thread - "Truck Of The Yellow Sun" by Denn(m): 11:11pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
This is the new oil filter. I forgot to take pictures of the engine oil gallon.

Re: Updated.. My 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Thread - "Truck Of The Yellow Sun" by Nobody: 11:17pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
I used that same oil filters for 5 years but used FoMoCo blend oil (pic). If you continue this path you will thoroughly enjoy this truck and the next owner (when you move up to a F-450) will inherit a well maintaiend vehicle.

Parts are a bit pricey in the ford dealership in Nigeria so I went to option 2; bringing the stuffs in. I ordered for the following parts: Transmission filter Brake pads 4 Monroe shock absorbers Hanyes manual Stabilizer bar links Inside door handle rear (both sides). Seems someone had Arnold arms and broke both. Parts already being shipped. |
