The specs. |
Weve all seen Fords advertising campaign that shows the ever-popular Sport Trac dangling from a cliff, dancing through the forest, and hopping massive rocks. What about water sports? Jim Bones Noteboom has taken issue with Fords campaign and made an addition to the variety of applications for the 01 Sport Trac. Bones wanted to show the truck in a different light than just being stock so he made a few changes.
For every sport, there is a look. Bones decided to define that look by first lowering the Sport Trac. It rides 8 inches lower all around thanks to a set of airbags from AirLift Technologies. Ride height controls have been hidden in the glovebox. At full drop a speed bump would do some serious damage. But as you can see, the nominal stock height is easily adjustable with the push of a button.
