BeyondEOD's ST Build Thread

Removed the “Explorer” badge on the hood and ran the first attempt to correct the paint from likely countless car washes. It looks 90% better but I don’t have enough cut to make it 100%. Maybe Megan’s 205 would be enough.

Used Megan’s Ultimate Compound , Backfire One Step, and Klasse All in One as the final step.

Installed the Steeda subframe supports and the pinion bushings. Ran into a hiccup with one of the TTY pinion bolts. It would not torque to. So I’m thinking either the bolt is over stretched or there might be thread damage. I ordered Whoosh bolts to swap them out. Also looking to chase the subframe bolts before I run the new bolt it. This will be tricky as there is not much room to move the carrier out of the way.

NVH is up with these two mods.

I did the MRT struts and though they are no-drill, you do have to cut a little of the plastic.

I forget the brand..
But no cutting. You use an exsisting trim button hole for hood attach point
Got em off amazon

Very nice. Looks like a 2 min install as well.

maybe 15, i found if you remove the under hood blanket first...it makes it easy to get to the holes to attach the nut plate
after i struggled with the drivers side for a few minutes, i said screw it and removed the hood blanket, then put it back after i was done
