What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

[RetropStExplorer]

I‘m ready for winter with my new Hakka R5 tires. Got some RTX wheels as I went with 20” tires to save hundreds on each tire. Kal Tire here in Canada is the only distributor you can buy Nokian . I’ve used them on all my vehicles and always been very very happy .

Swapped the incandescent rear turn signal lamps with LEDs. Added these "just cause":

No, they don't enhance the paddle shifter experience.

But they look good. Lol

 

[MikeHTally]

Agreed

Kinda forgot, I did these a week or so ago. Can't get used to relying on the cameras and sensors:

 

[BabsST38]

Has anyone tried to upgrade the rear HVAC control to auto using the Lincoln controller? Using FORScan you can enable auto. I’m wondering if I plug in the Lincoln controller it will work.

 

[UNBROKEN]

That’s from a Navigator…different shape from our rear climate controls.

 

[Mekks082]

Installed rear LED Blinker, Reverse, and Plate lights. Messed with Forscan and turned off double honk, hyperflash. Turned on bambi mode.

 

[UNBROKEN]

Started the piano black dash conversion…which doesn’t exist so I made it exist.

 

[UNBROKEN]

2020 dash swapped to the piano black radio bezel and new smooth trim pieces wrapped in piano black vinyl. Had to tie the dash into the Aviator rear console that has piano black trim on it.

Wrap looks great! Nice work so far!

Seeing if you considered other tire sizes, such as 255/55 that some of us have or possibly 265 or 275/50?

Cabin filter changed. 27k on the dash. Looks to be a bit smaller compared to the one I bought on Amazon.

Can we get the link for the decals?

I got a 3 piece set from Etsy. This is a 2 piece one now on Etsy. Basic decals, came out nicely

These are same emblems I used as well. Super easy to install (for the most part with the proper prep) and the shipping was super fast!

no, I just went with what I assumed would be best overall. Left it up to the tire shop to make sure it was appropriate. Narrower the tire the better in snow

Installed Auto start/stop elim, ordered a UPR catch can.

Catch cans are a must on DI engines

Are Catch Cans really necessary any longer? I have owner many 3.5 eco Fords, never any issues without them. Jjust curious since Ford mentioned "no need for them" Seen some good and bad articles.
