    ST floormats?

    There were some copyright issues with the ST Logo, so finding a company that will make them using it is probably out of the question. Lloyds Floor Mats - Great company and customer service. They can do embroidery and at one point, had all Ford logos, now they have none from what I recall.

    Explorer ST mud guard thread

    Bumping this thread.. Anyone near San Diego willing to do some testing with ZL1 Addons so the ST's get a nice pair of rock/splash guards? I can PP you some gas money if that helps. PM me for more info,.

    360 Camera disabled. Why? What’s the fix?

    Seems Ford is the only company that cannot manage to get the 360 camera working. BMW, Benz, Audi, etc. all have 360 cameras and hardly any issues. From what I saw, most of the parts used in the 360 camera are made in Germany.

    FS Grille - Brand New

    Man, its a shame you cannot ship. I need a new front grille as mine is cracked (bought it that way). Solid price for sure. Good luck man.

    FND Trailer Hitch Cover

    When I got it, I went over install instructions and began trying to put it in. To my surprise, it was later determined by Optimus that the unit was damaged. I had trouble installing as the wing nuts and bolts were not securing the unit. In addition, it was an extremely tight fit, which led to...

    FND Trailer Hitch Cover

    Zeus and Optimuz are the big players with the complete hitch covers. I bought the Optimuz flush style and the experience was not good, so I returned it. Now, I just have a hitch receiver insert and it is fine.

    ST vs. The Competition

    Audi will be better made and have more creature comforts. However, you're going to be prone to issues as the car is riddled with electronics. From a performance standpoint, a tuned ST will mop the floor with an SQ5, being much bigger and heavier as well. A better comparison would be the SQ8 vs...

    ST vs. The Competition

    I have heard BMW's are hit and miss with their reliability. A lot of people swear by them if you maintain them meticulously. Still going to keep the ST, but just want something with more luxury and oomph.

    ST vs. The Competition

    New X5's also make 375HP now, instead of the 325HP. X5 V8 models are in every way superior to the ST, albeit 25K more on starting price. This excludes the actual "M" models that are well over 100K new. We will be looking at used X5M's as they make over 700HP with just a tune on pump gas.

    Turbo "fin" removal?

    Just the guy I was looking for! People said it makes the spooling noise more audible, but if you want max sound, BOV/Intake, right? I currently put the UPR BOV adapter so it makes cute little "pttsshhhh" noises when you let off the throttle.

    Turbo "fin" removal?

    I came across a thread on FB for an ST group and someone asked about ways to make the stock turbos louder. One guy suggested removing the pipes connected to the turbos and taking out a plastic fin. Figured I would ask here as we have more technical guys here; is this a thing? will you get a...

    Explorer ST 1/4 Mile Times With Engine Warranty

    I have had half a dozen heavily modded cars (Mustangs) and can say from experience, unless the aftermarket part you install is the direct culprit for failure, your warranty will be honored. Ford dealers normally do not want to invest time to attempt to disprove OEM parts failure by an...

    Oil change

    Old thread, but here goes. UPR sells a quick drain plug that is permanent, at a one-time cost of about $60. Makes emptying the oil pan much easier. Between a decent full synthetic and a filter, each change should be around $70-$80 plus your time. I can get my oil change done in under an...

    oil changes and the scheduled maintence? oil additives etc.

    Amsoil also has a fuel treatment option as well that seems decent. Seafoam and STA are great options. I put one in every oil change (3K miles) Those prices are pretty nuts too.

    Best Oil Catch Can

    JLT for me. Used them in my mustangs for years and they never disappoint. Plus, the price is right.
