What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

[BrooseDaMoose]

At least you weren't asked what pants you wear on here!

Nope! But just for the record, I wear Wrangler jeans. LOL!

I installed an old school BOV, a Greddy Type S.

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.

Received the CV Fab Intercooler today. Installed it and put everything back together.

Added a 9H tempered glass screen protector today. This should be my last addition to the new 25' ST.

23 mpg???
We can barely get to 19.8 at 70 mph
I must be doing it wrong

That’s better than mine! I can’t get above 17.6! Tried resetting it a few times but that’s where it always evens out.

It’s only by the cluster, not measuring fuel or anything. It was through the middle of the night with zero traffic. I was going south so maybe a little downhill

Tailwind

My f150. Comes no where near estimate, except long long long drives at 70 to 75 it slooooowly climbs up to 20 - 22
H8shest so far in the st at steady state for 50 or so miles is 19.8,
I want a larger tank. Mpg is not overly important
Longer range is

Agree. When drinking coffee and driving at night I can barely hold it long enough to empty the gas tank. When young with two daughters we drove everywhere. Had a rule, gas stops only. They were pretty good travelers. Now they would tell me I’m old because about 400 miles is my limit!

Also after having the pinch welds repaired from damage done by the service dept. I had these installed and they work and look the part.

I have running boards that secure to the same pinch weld seam. Will the Jack Pads work?

No. The jack pads go around the pinch weld seam so the running boards would be in the way. You may be able to get creative and notch out the running boards.

How many come per order? Not sure if I'm missing the quantity listing in the Amazon link you provided. The title description leads me to believe that it's $45 per jack block but in the product description they show (4).
