    Hello from Westchester County, NY!

    Silver Spruce is a rare color. I liked it, the wife didn't. Welcome to the forum!

    What’s that smell?

    I'm going to assume the axle was a vendor issue. Shipped to Chicago Assembly that way. Still no excuse. When you put hundreds (thousands) of the same part on a vehicle, you should notice something big like a clamp missing.

    Basic brakes to ST brake kit

    With just daily driving, I'm not sure how much you will gain with the Street Pack. Maybe if you take it to the track or autocross. I'm guessing you will need the 21" wheels also for the bigger rotors? It will be interesting to see how much the conversion will cost you.

    Sunroof vs no Sunroof

    Our ‘13 Explorer’s sunroof might have been opened three times in the 7 years we owned it. We purchased the ST in late December and the dealer had to drive to find one without a sunroof. Why put a hole in a perfectly good roof?

    Getting ready for my new rims and tires..

    Yes, I had a '98 convertible .Fun car. Maybe drove it 1500 miles a year. Sold it to buy Mama a '13 Explorer back in the day. BTW, that's one good looking steak dinner! I talked to a old friend who picked up his C8 at the Museum last month. He said straight line acceleration will make you...

    Getting ready for my new rims and tires..

    Looks good. It’s the details that makes them stand out. Do you do anything with the rotor vanes? I wire brush and paint them Rustoleum Aluminum Enamel (8 oz. can and a small brush)

    What torque wrench would you recommend?

    Got a inch pound and a foot pound Craftsman's been using for years. Got a 3/4" drive 250 foot pound monster bought at harbor freight that I bought for suspension work.

    Playing around with some Carbon Fiber Wrap ideas.

    I've striped a couple of my vehicles with Oracal 951 vinyl. Rated for 8 to ten years use. I apply this wet with a solution of distilled water, a little rubbing alcohol and a drop or two of Dawn in a spray bottle. Most vinyl is graphed on the back paper which makes it easier to cut it straight. A...

    Playing around with some Carbon Fiber Wrap ideas.

    I'm liking the rear wing, the hood no so much. Would look better to carry the stripe under the front of the hood. I'd re-install the EXPLORER over the wrap. Just my opinion. Do you apply the vinyl wet? I could have never done that good unless I did.

    Floor Liners

    I am finding the factory liners have a slick finish. My feet want to slide on them. That may get better as they wear in a little.

    So what do you all do?

    Retired from Ford Motor Lima Engine Plant, 31 years, in 2020. Worked the assembly lines for most of those years. From what I hear, with everything going on in the world, got out at a good time.

    Who would cage such a beast?

    56 mile car...amazing! That detailer knows his stuff. Wonder what happened to the car, and how much he got for it.

    What is the flimsy panel covering the muffler area?

    I think that some vehicles has that panel, mine didn't.

    Good clean humor and jokes

    The other day I fell off of a 25 foot ladder. People ask if I hurt myself, I tell them " No I was on the lowest rung". [biggrin]
