nice looking truck.

thanks for your inputs.

tacomas are relatively expensive and not to comfortable for crew movements (small back seats).

your history with old bessie inspires.

i plan on upgrading to a supercrew cab (maybe tundra or F150) within the next couple of years but at the moment, my budget is highly restrained.

i really appreciate your inputs....sincerely

All car owners with check engine light on, gutted catalysts, bad MAF sensors etc.

Better start the repairs.

Ikenna, how do you plan on getting certified as your cars no longer have cats?

CityNG: One word "Tacoma". Pay now or pay later.

FORD = Found Off Road Dead and Fix Or Repair Daily.

Bro Somorin /CityNG

Na wa o. Lol.

I respect your inputs on cars and would like you to please explain further on your comments.

@siena, ikenna, sultaan and others, please your thoughts are welcome.

Thanks.

xerotop: D mods was done b4 i got it frm the us.
Its raised and higher than every other f150 av seen around.
As regards ur wifey driving, my wife does.
And ladies who drive trucks looks very cool. And intimidate men on the road.
Cos u wld be wondering, who is dis woman driving a fearsome mighty truck. So u give them chance to pass.lolzzz

I will be opening a thread on my modding once I get the truck.

I would love contributions.

We seem not to demand trucks that much in Nigeria... Real truck and not those gayish hilux companies buy.

xerotop: The ford explorer sports trac is a lovely truck if u can take care of it.
Parts might not be readily available except u live in lagos.
But the world is a global village, u can get parts shipped in from the US. A few guyz here can help u procure any parts u want.
Sienna, cityng and a lady here also with username justi4jesu.
Dont expect same price range as a honda civic and toyota camry pencil light. That also goes for fuel consumption as its most likely going to be a 4.0L.
Reviews shows that 2002,2003 & 2004 are problematic. So u might want to go for a higher model.
Also since u want to use for farm purposes, get a 4x4 and not rear wheel drive.
I dont own a sports trac but i own a 5.4L triton SOHC 2005 ford F150 with upgraded exhaust.

Thanks for the comments.

Your upgraded exhaust ; are you using a straight pipe and the cats gutted? Magna flow?

I intend on adding rancho shocks with adjustable settings, crank up the torsion a bit and add shackles and a leaf.

I also intend to add led overboard lights as I might be on the farm late into the evenings.

I intend to add a higher capacity transmission cooler since the truck would be moving heavy stuffs regularly over rough terrain.

I have a lot of plans for the truck... Luckily, I have a friend who owns a garage and I won't mind doing a lot on it personally...

I had thoughts of the f150 Ranch before but the v8 could be too much for wifey... She currently slugs a 1.4l kia Rio.

Most of my plans might change though...

feeling weary already...

no comments?

SUBMARINE: AK47 range is 300m and shilkan should be BTW 2km - 3.5km

Thanks for the correction...will modify my post

it even makes it worse for the AK carrying commando.

Obinoscopy: Assuming that the reporters were right about the purchase of Shilka weapon, my innocent question is this:

Why would the military purchase anti-aircraft weapons for the purpose of this Boko Haram war? Don't they know that Boko Haram are ground fighters and not air fighters? Or do they want to give lose it to Boko Haram during one the numerous insurgency attacks on military base and then expose our airforce combatants to danger?

Maybe you're right, our reporters don't know what they are saying.

if you turn the gun's turret to an horizontal position and fire, no matter how ''rambo-ish'' you are, even at a distance of 2km, the enemy would be turned into shreds.

google the term ''technical'' and you will understand that anti-aircraft is just a name...boko haram has been deploying same strategy ever since...thats why they can ambush our guys and tear them into shreds from 2 kilometres away...the range of an AK47 is around 300 metres...men are been killed by an unseen enemy...our hiluxes shattered like wet tissue paper.

now we are deploying same tactic...spray them from afar with our shilka "Baygon"" and we watch them die like the roaches which they are

sooperrescue: Contact us, we have Dexron 6 global synthetic

in a bid to sell, please i would advise that you list the vehicles that can use your dextron 6.

most viewers do not know the difference and a lot of mechanics top up ATF systems with ABRO.

do not go the same lane.

do a little bit of research and list the vehicles using your fluid.

over50% of permanent transmission failure in nigeria occur because people add the wrong ATF (statistics from my experience).

for the fact that it is synthetic doesnt make it a one-drug-cures-all

GAZZUZZ: I might be wrong but it seems one of inossons models is a clone of this vehicle.

Fords are nice rugged vehicles, depnding on where you intend to use it parts can be a bit pricy and unavailable. Up north parts are very scarce, in the south they are very available.

Personally I would rather buy a toyota hillux or tundra.

thanks.

i think hilux and tundra is always overpriced due to the 'toyota-ism' of the average Nigerian

i intend to use in lagos and i have heard parts are available in ladipo and ojuelegba... i also intend to bring in some parts directly from amazon.

Hello NLers,

I have been contemplating a ford explorer sports trac to use for my farm trucking needs.

been through a lot of reviews and almost concluding the purchase of one...(possibly this week)

anyone here using the truck? what are the comments as relates to Nigeria?

please comments needed.

thanks

Mister Trevor seller, please take your concentrated chivita to another thread.

Thanks

The potential is there but it's sad innoson is crumbling under its own inefficiency.

This is the digital age.

Social media is not being deployed by this company.

Advertising is poor.

This is still a one man business....

A serious business person will soon come and reinvent innoson's idea and cash in.

Branding, advert, presence, visibility all zero

can you install for a 2002 ford explorer sports trac?

advise of the features and cost.

Location is lagos

many thanks

seems all interviews should have ended.

or do we still have any pending interviews?

many thanks

please assist with this VIN check.

thanks

Ibrahym: Cant resign abruptly cuz its a family business so will still have some commitments to it; I can't lie about (which they appreciated) ...
Told them i'll continue in the first instance and manage with the two. Understand the concerns raised but it is what it is!

Not starting a farm till 2/3 years. I'm going into food processing, buying from farmers first.
Consulting work I do now is flexible so still gives me enough time for managing new ventures.

Good justifications.

I am into tomatoes... In case you process such.

Ibrahym: Did mine yesterday facing three panelists (and with a YouWin! representative present, probably taking records!)
Experience not really different from what everyone else here have said.
Just make sure you come with originals and photocopies of all info requested in the invitation email; know and be able to defend your business and ability to manage it.
I think they were convinced enough I could manage the business; but a panelist was not comfortable with my not having prior agric-related experience and not wanting to leave my current profession for the business fully. Spent close to 50mins there!
By Gods grace, we will make it!

Did you tell them you will not resign?

How do you now intend to manage the farm?

hello.

please assist with this vin 1ftrw08l72ke29342

thanks so much for your assistance

bizhub: i learnt panel 8 is cool

Panel 1 is cool too...

Lets have a car day in lagos.

A Saturday...

We all bring in drinks....

A Nairalander who is also a DJ can make the music....

I don't know why we keep dumping this...

PastorKun: Based on our on going promotional offer we can get it done for 60k. The extra charge is due to fact that it's an SUV and we would be doing a colour change. Thanx for the interest shown.

How many days?

I will still be paying the agreed 55k

Thanks

What is your turn around time for changing the colour of a ford explorer sports trac. Kindly advise of the total cost too.

I want impeccable results. It is tokunbo. No major body work... Just that I don't like the bright yellow colour, I want it to be bright silver.

Note that colour change is from yellow to silver and I want an impeccable change

Please revert
