What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

[Chamorro85]

Installed Autostop Eliminator. Interesting that this one goes in the steering column. I've only ever installed them in the OBD port before. Did my partner's new Bronco Sport at the same time and hers goes in line with the OBD port.

It's crazier on the new F150's. FIL just got '22 and he has to take out the center front channel speaker to get to the proper wiring.

Why didn't you take the Forscan route?
Asking since you already have the required setup with you.
Hardware route is more reliable?

Because Forscan can't fix the ASS.

I know in the 21+ F-150 FORScan CAN turn off ASS. Is the same not possible in the Explorer?

 

[Chamorro85]

Yeah unfortunately its temp on the Explorer when done through forescan. It will work till you cycle the engine and then it's back to the switch. Many attempts here to try it that way before going with the plug-and-play option.

What do you think about the sound? Looks good!

So far so good. Still need to get some more miles on it. Had an issue that is being sorted out now. Overall happy with exhaust. I’ll post clip later

Bingo!

Those tips are WAY out. Are you sure all the connections are slid all the way together?

 

[V3nom3nom]

Pipes leading to back of the quad tips did not slide together and needed to be welded. So im guessing that is what may have caused them to stick out more. I will look underneath again to see if there is any slack that can bring them back in. For now they will stay on as I’m not putting stock exhaust back

Nice touch! Do you know the Part Number?

I also found the same number with an "A" on the end, JU5A 17E678 BA. Waiting for @mdl3v8 to confirm before I pull the trigger.

I actually really like that. Plug and play? Nothing to tweak with auto dimming or anything out of the ordinary?

The part number from mine (according to the ebay listing) is JU5A-17E678-BA. It’s auto dimming and plug and play. Prying off the trim above the mirror is the hardest part, but otherwise straight forward and simple. It looks like Ford uses the frameless mirror in several vehicles: Nautilus, Aviator, Corsair, Mach E. I got mine for roughly $80 shipped; mine came from LKQ so if you find one that’s accepting offers maybe toss in $75 and see what happens. I added several to my watchlist and ended up with offers from the sellers so that may get it for less than what it’s listed for too. The best part is that it wasn’t noticed by my wife so no complaints about spending money on car stuff, lol

Finished the wrap, full ceramic coat. Very happy with it. We used 3M Satin Dark Grey. Left the top half black. Lots of custom little details that we did. Again, VERY happy with it!!

That's beautiful! Did you have to remove and reattach the rear ST badge? If so, did you replace the two sided tape?

Yes, I reused the ST badge using 3M tape. I purchased new hood letters from Ford. Only like $75 bucks.

I made a set of blackout badges for the Ford badges to black those out. For those we used 3M 2080 Gloss Black wrap film.

I also made a set of "FORD PERFORMANCE" decals that are on the back side windows. I used the same gray as the wrap for the word "FORD" and I used Oracal 751 vinyl for the red "PERFORMANCE".

These may not stay. Not sure if I like them.

Another thing, I used Adam's Graphene Ceramic Spray coating on the whole vehicle. It is so freaking easy to work with. It can go on all exterior surfaces of the car. Headlights, taillights, glass, rubber, plastic, wheels. floormats. I love it. Only lasts for a year but I detail my vehicles usually twice a year so I'm not worried about 7 year protection.

How do you get to the spare?

That much amps should have left a big hole in that pocket. A donut spare should easily come out through it.

 

[NeverSatisfied]

Rack is removable. 10mm and 2 6mm, remove a couple velcro pieces and I can lift it out. Center support.
