Couldn't find the 'what have you done...' thread, so here's my '23 up on QuickJacks for the first time...

...and first time the cartons have been opened in 2 years or so.






Took my son and me about 4 hours to open cartons, assemble hoses, etc., and get the car in the air.. Now that I've done it, it should take no longer than about 15 minutes.. The Ex feels very stable on the jacks, but, as QJ advises, I'll NEVER be under a car without 4 jackstands (or a professioonal whole-car hoist) holding it up.. The last pic shows the stacked rubber blocks contacting the subframe portions of the bottom.

Man I miss my garage! I'm so glad I have a cool mechanic who let's me in the shop and will put my vehicle on the lift if I need to!

Quick jacks are great…the lock stops make them as safe as any stands. But then again, I climb under cars with Harbor Freight and big red stands, so what do I know.

@jeffreybehr: I love your wheels!!! They look great on the red finish w/black trim vehicles. There is just something special about that powder coated/silver/non-shinny aluminum look for wheels. Your wheels would have been my first choice for my 2025 ST (same color scheme as yours) but Ford discontinued offering them as an option.

TYVM; I too love them so much I bought, eventually, six of them, but not from Ford.. These are the ones...

Since you brought up these wheels, I feel free to write that I HATE all-black wheels and couldn't get the originals off my Ex quickly enough (and given away!).. And lovers of black wheels, PLEASE don't resent my negativity toward black wheels; just as I am, you're welcome to love and hate whatever you choose.. I did have aluminum-and-black wheels on it for a while...

...and those are still surplus and for sale.

Back in 2019, the black wheels and red calipers were two details that swayed me away from a low mileage CPO V6 Nautilus! I still love the way my 2020 looks. I just wish it didn't drive so crappy. I've given up on them making it drive like before the FADA TSB and all the differential, axle and transfer case replacements.
