Noted. I didn't have any extra hands, so had to settle for sitting the tape measure body down.

Making a slightly duplicate post here (original was over the the WHYDTYET thread) with more detail. I wound up going with Eibach for springs. First impressions (these were installed yesterday): - One of my concerns was that I would need spacers to keep my wheels from looking sunk into the...

I did a thing. After much back and forth between Eibach and Steeda, I finally went with Eibach. Before: After: The difference is much more noticeable in person. The experience outside the car is significantly different. I'm tall and can now see over the car easily. Ingress/egress is much...

Oil change, tire rotation, and multi-point inspection at dealership. Did the catch can myself when I got home since they apparently didn't. This is about 6k miles worth. I mentioned checking transmission fluid but they said it didn't need it. Car is at a little over 17k miles. What's the hive...

Found some twisty roads and let it eat a bit. For a 5k lbs SUV with car seats in the captain chairs and a good amount of gear in the folded 3rd row cargo area, this thing is so fun to drive.

I really wish mine didn't have the roof rack. It looks so much better without it. The quotes I received to have it done are obnoxiously expensive and I don't feel that comfortable (yet?) pulling the interior apart myself.

Can someone recommend a good primer or beginner video for getting into Forscan? I've never messed with car electronics before and it makes me a little nervous.

Why does it do that?

Did some things. First, The OCD Plug's A/B/D pillar PPF wraps went on. I did an acceptable-good job on the B/D pillars, but the contours of the A pillar really exposed my complete and total lack of skill. Going to have to look at fixing some of the bubbles that got left there. I'm still...

Don't need to disassemble anything. You can pry it loose carefully with a plastic tool. Clean up tape residue whith a 3M-type wheel and you're good to go.

I talked with Emblem City. They only do the ST badges in single colors, so you can't get the fill and outline in any sort of contrast. I wanted to do it with flat black in the middle and gloss on the chrome like the Ford emblem, but no dice. I got flat black vinyl inlays for the ST badges from...

Vinyl and screen protection from OCD Plug. Emblems from Emblem City. Didn't get to the front Ford emblem because I don't have the time today. Probably a Monday project.

This x1000. No one is working for free and the more people that touch your transaction, the more some small cut of the money gets diverted off to a 3rd/4th/5th party before it reaches the maker. Support the people doing the work you appreciate as much as you can.

Installed an afe sway bar. Took it for a quick spin and it's great. I'd describe it as tightening up the rear and getting rid of any wasted movement. Felt flat through some moderate to easy curves between 60 and 90. Excited to really spin it up in the next couple weeks. Notes from install: -...

Used some polymer picture hanging thread stuff because I didn't have any fishing line. No heat, just get the letters off and used a knockoff 3M eraser wheel to clean it up. I didn't really care about difficultly to clean, I just like the cleaner look.

You've got me curious about these headlights. You mentioned they're difficult to find, but is there anything preventing you from ordering a set from Europe new? You have a part number you could share?

Removed the "EXPLORER" emblem.

Easy little job today. Looks good. Need to get that blue oval blacked out. Somewhat undecided about the red ST badges. Blacked out looks sharp, but so does the accent color. Maybe flat black ST against the gloss grill? Dunno...

Share a pic?

I'm debating between these two sets, so I appreciate the photos. Are these shots right after install, or a little time to settle?
