Aaron from Dixon suggested g50e for my ST and I bought them. I'm picking them up Monday but wont know how well they work till I install it.

I think I remember hearing that the G50E is slightly longer than just the G50 pack, so maybe that's what they're talking about? Don't quote me on that though.

The E is for explorer and I think it's stiffer b/c it's heavier then the ranger

it is also longer

The Sport Trac Prerunner is at our Race Shop Facility in Santee getting some plumbing and other finish work done.

Thanks for the reply, I ended up buying them couldn't go wrong with the deal I got.

That is one nice looking ST.

Anyone know where I can get front axles for the dbr kit? Aaron won't have any for some time and I just want to have my truck 4x4 ready.

didnt you pay for them already?

No. He said I could but he doesn't even know when he would get axles. He just asked me to email him every other month to see if he got a set

it is official. I'm ditching my ranger and picking up an ST.

Are you going with 2wd or 4wd?

me? um preferably 2wd but I'm ok with 4wd

can you fit a dirtbike in the bed of an ST?

I wish I had that money. Ill have to finance it through a dealership more than likely. I wish I had that kind of money on tap

That's a good price. I got my 02 for 9 grand. It was fully loaded: 4x4, leather int, sunroof, poineer sound with only 43,000 miles. Good deal I'm my opinion.

im not a leather guy at all. but I'm fuckin down for a sunroof hahaha. how well does the 4x4 work? im leaning towards 2wd but can be persuaded hahaha. is yours built at all?

i'd say if you have the option and the funds to get a 4x4 to jump on it. you never know when it can come in handy, and a 4x4 runner is just way more trick than a 2wd built the same.

this is true. then I can get sick gnar at holy jim with the rest of you guys....that is if I show up on time hahahaha speaking of which, when's the next meet? I turn 21 Sunday so I can enjoy hooters the right way

The 4WD works very well, I went to visit the family last month and took my '04 ST to northern Cali. I drove it around in the snow and mud w/ stock all season tires and made it up a snow/mud covered hill no problem. Definitely could use a locker in the rear, but does suprisingly well IMO. Also need to lose that horrible front suspension(torsion).

2001 ST locker in the rear superlift rear springs 3inch body lift with super lift front end! the next thing i wanna do is run shocks threw the bed! and anyone have a front clip or fenders!?

I was thinking of jut getting a superlift with a body lift and call it good. It also would have saved me thousands of dollars but I know I would be happy and just hate the truck! But your ST looks good!

How do the auto trans hold up in sport tracs? I am thinking of getting one to build

I have 55k on mine and right now it's having trouble getting to 3rd. Some times it's fine and other times it revs to 3,500 and then shifts. Gotta figure out the problem before it gets worse

figured i'd bring some life here
a little oops


how she looks now

Great looking Sport Trac Demo!

Any pictures of how you mounted your g50e's? Mainly the shackle setup.

I bought the warrior shackles and got rid of the stock ones.

Found these pics of what I believe is Perry's Sport Trac being built

Does that sport trac have a build thread anywhere?!

Nice work on the new shackles Demo. I still haven't heard how you injured your sport trac? (in the picture of it loaded on the flatbed)

I just got my front axles and I plan to just extend the stock ones and see how they hold up. I don't expect them to last very long but for $140 they should do the trick.

Thx Casey. I posted the story on the carnage thread. Long story short my studs snapped right off when I was going to Gorman with a buddy and my brother. My tire passed me and and stopped 300 yds ahead of me. They snapped right at the axle l, lucky the spacers held on to the lug nut. When I installed the spacers I loc-tit them on and tighten the hell out on them.

My local junk yard is having a 50% off sale in 2 wks so I'll go pick up a pair(s) for dirt cheap. I hope this work b/c it's ridiculous.

How do you like that shackle setup ?

Ok how come I haven't seen one second gen sport trac in this thread?

You have some?

I haven't seen a built one yet. Just this one with c/o's, cage, and 35's
