    Rebadge, Debadge or Leave it Stock , what is your preference?

    30% window tint on our front badge. Kind of looks like black chrome now. Also left off the letters after clear film on the hood.

    Anyone ordered their Explorer ST with the Thinkware Dashcam?

    Dashcams have lots of uses. Wife noticed a scratch on her bumper one Saturday morning. We had installed her cam 2 weeks earlier. We replayed the footage of her car parked at the restaurant the evening before. Sure enough, some guy backed his Mercedes into her car. You could see the video...

    Anyone ordered their Explorer ST with the Thinkware Dashcam?

    Front/rear dashcam is always in the top 5 of my recommended mods to anyone. They are more important than a radar detector for sure. Parking behavior is very important feature to me. I put the Viofo A129 F/R in my Mustang and it has been great. Very smart parking modes, very automatic...

    Spacers to widen the stance of stock 21" wheels?

    The CJ 1/4" spacer is bore centric, and the 1/2" has an extended flange to also make it bore centric. I ran a set of 4 of the 1/2" spacers on my Mustang at the road course up to 130mph, and all was smooth. (Note this setup has 1/2" longer studs and open-ended lugnuts.)

    Spacers to widen the stance of stock 21" wheels?

    I verified that the rear tire is tucked about 1-1/4" in from the fender, and the front tire is tucked by 1". I removed one lugnut from the front and one from the rear. I measured the thread depth (end of stud to bottom on wheel cone). It is 24-25mm for both axles. There is 17mm of threads...

    Spacers to widen the stance of stock 21" wheels?

    @UNBROKEN, good to know about the f/r difference. Now I'll just get spacers for the rear!

    Smaller wheels?

    https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/ Put the OEM parameters into the left side, then experiment with parameters on the right side.

    Spacers to widen the stance of stock 21" wheels?

    I plan to check if 1/4" spacers will work without longer studs. You just need to have 7T thread engagement, or 10mm minimum. I suspect it will be OK. If so, I will order them from CJ Pony Parts. Their house brand spacers are great, $40/pr. I had to go to 1/2" longer studs on my Mustang in...

    Missing Parts

    Still confused about the wind deflector. I will ask the parts guy again, since I now have the p/n. That Tasca link shows this, which doesn't include ST:

    check your tire pressures

    Ford over pressures all new tires at the factory. Most dealers don't realize this and/or don't bother to adjust them. Might be something about trying to keep the tires round if cars sit too long on the lots. Before hibernating my Stang for the winter, I inflate the tires to 45#.

    Redline Tuning Hood Quicklift system

    If auto makers are concerned that the price of a tweeter is 25 cents, you can bet they will be concerned about a $100 pair of hood struts. Also, the leverage force is such that the hood will not open from the closed position once the hood struts are installed. The leverage force then...

    Your ST's pet name??

    My vehicles all have no gender and no name. However, I am trying to train the wife from calling it "the truck". I have loathed SUV's for years, but I made an exception for the ST.

    Missing Parts

    I just visited my nearby dealer. I went to parts department with my VIN to get the p/n's for my missing pieces. The guy was skilled at finding everything EXCEPT the wind deflector. Then I went out to the lot to look at 4 Explorers. None of them had the rear wind deflector. They were not...

    Gap in spare tire cover panel?

    Anyone else have poor fit between the spare tire cover and the plastic body trim? Two photos show the left and right sides. You can see the white gas funnel below, velcro fasteners, etc.

    Several warranty issues- have you had the same?

    The manual describes this symptom if you manually fold in the mirror, and a procedure to follow to reset the auto-fold. Perhaps look that up and try it out?
