Just asking because that has been out for so long. I am surprised you that you just updated it now.
LOL! Well, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! I’ve had it on a thumb drive for about six months but just got around to it because I had to redo all my Forscan programming so figured I do it to.

At least you weren't asked what pants you wear on here!
Nope! But just for the record, I wear Wrangler jeans. LOL!

I too bought that kit, I really liked the brighter turn signal lights and the brighter reverse lights. the License plate lights are just a bit brighter than I think is needed but I still like them and will keep them in. Now if only someone would make Hella brighter headlights and fogs for these vehicles I would be all set.

These HSF reverse lights have ruined other cars for me. When I reverse in my wife's Volvo XC90 (same level of tint on the rear glass as my ExST), I feel like I'm blind. Seems like there's no light at all!

If only we can talk him into making headlights and fog lights, just think how awesome night driving would be.

Got the 25' all torn down to add a CV Fab intercooler that should be here early next week. I bought OEM intercooler inlet and outlet end pipes from a 2024 (used but not used much at all) online. I will swap them out with the current new style ones on this 25' so that I don't need to purchase the CV Fab hot and cold side pipes. That saves me a few hundred $. I also swapped out the blue, grille Ford oval for a black oval. I removed the liftgate oval and will have a matching black oval in a couple of days. I was going to have custom black American flag emblems made but I went this new route instead.

Took the Explorer on another long distance short turnaround trip. 2800 miles round trip from Midwest to southeast Florida.

Seems the more I drive on long trips, the more I love my Explorer. Very comfy especially with the massage seats. Plenty of room to switch up seating positions. Gets 23mpg at 80 and a lot less when having a little fun. It can go from cruising to hammering the mountain turns and back. Love the BBK on those long downhills.

Still loving the ST after 3 years!

CVF intercooler and hot/cold side charge pipes, AWE exhaust (sounds incredible) and painted emblems from Emblem City. Still waiting on Steeda parts to arrive and new wheels/tires.
