Welcome to the group, nice trac.

My guess it was bent from trying to tow over the limit, the bumpers are not meant for a load, where a class 2 or 3 hitch to frame can handle load on tongue, looks like a newer hitch and i have not seen a trac with a factory class 2 or 3 hitch. i added mine. do not remember any of my rangers...

If i found a beater slash play rig 4x4, i would cut fenders out and put some flares and bigger mudders and enjoy, they have great low pull for wheeling, armor the bottom and shocks and tires and you can wheel it for 500ish and fix it as it breaks.

I did detailing, and we would do underbody treatments, we would use red hot a acid degreaser and run fans over night to get dry, then spray, the problem is as todd mentioned, where mounts etc, this is stress points that will fail from rust, unless you remove body then spray it is a bandaid, i...

When i lived in Ocean Shores for a few years, it was sand, a couple hours from seattle,,,

yes,, unless someone replaced ignition and had it chipped or replaced ignition and ecm, or tailgate handle, my issue on one of the tracs was key was worn but took awhile to get tailgate to lock. but if ignition was changed you would not be able to use it on doors, if it works on doors then try...

The back tailgate does not get used as much as the ignition does so tumbler and key wear down so if you have a spare with better points on key i would try it and wiggle, this was a issue for a couple trucks i had, with no need for chip take to locksmith shop to have a key made should be cheaper...

Wow, that is crazy low miles i am with @swshawaii and not a common failure, a little front right sag 1/4 to 1/2 inch, few cranks on t bars and fix, i have 65k on my 04 and thought that was low. post some pics.

Oh yea, just a little dry there,, spent 18 years growing up in glendale, then the next 20 years going there to get my vehicles, were cheaper and cleaner, then people caught on to this and prices went crazy.

welcome,, very clean looking, they're getting hard to find in good shape.

i test fitted some from a jeep and loved the look, my intent was to split in middle and add a skid and needed to angle to flow, problem was the metal on bumpers were not solid steel so fabbing and making strong got to challenging, was going to just fab some but got lazy and just did a bull bar...

Someone had this on facebook sport trac, i have rolled a older ford and was on pavement and the roll bar saved the cab, was the option back in 80s for lights, looked cool, there is quite a few pics off roll bars on tracs on the fb, not a fan of the facebook page, too many idiots that give bad...

Sorry about your truck, that could have been so much worse,, good luck with the knee..

I am truly impressed, with 4 inch lift we had to trim for my mt, my at still rubbed at full articulation but not as bad, we tried my 33s on a 3 body lift 04 and smashed inner on full turn parked. with 1 inch spacers still hit, he went 32s still rubs at full turn. i have suggested to people over...

Way easier to change shift points with a programmer. if you were going to 44s i would agree but with 33s you will not notice or would make a difference, in my opinion. and i have been offroading for 40 plus years,, dam i am getting old.

Body lifts are the same in gen 1 but susp lifts are not, 04 and 05 had minor changes, bolt on suspension lifts were only made by couple companies and they stopped selling for no demand, i waited 6 months for superlift to make for 04, if you are wanting 33s, you are most likely going to trim...

Welcome,,and tracs make a great trail rig. turns tight like a jeep with more cargo space, well a little more cargo space.

My kid just did a torch lift on a 04 and has no issues and he is running close to 32s, doing 31 should not be a issue on rubbing if using stock wheels and 10 w, where i had a few rubs at full articulation is with 33 x12.5 with a less off set, very minor. i have a 4 inch lift,, you could run a 1...

The 04 was different then 03 but thought 03 down were the same. superlift had to make a few changes for the 04 kits.
