What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

[BrooseDaMoose]

4-Wheel alignment was done today from the small lift over the weekend.

Friday, I'm getting the front windshield and the front drivers and passengers windows ceramic tinted. I'm going as light as possible (I believe its 50%) because the side dirvers and passengers windows already have a light factory tint. Same with the windshield, I want to cut way down on the UV and heat but I want it to be as light as possible. I always put up a windshield shade in the summer months but this will help year round.

Looks great!

Its what I like. Some like lowering and some don't. The only off-roading I do with it is during deer season. I have lots of other toys for real off-roading. I hate the look of stock or lowered vehicles plus I like the added height for towing. I have AirLift air bags in the rear which help it to not squat when towing and keep it leveled. My tongue weight is near 400 lbs.

I built my truck to where the bed alone is higher than the garage door opening so I guess its my thing, going higher.

Thank you! Its a 2004. I ordered it brand new and built the hell out of it. It doesn't quite have 17,000 miles on it in 21 years.

Is that a quick tach lower rear bumper?

They are Kentrol, stainless bumpers. I added (2) 1 1/4" hitch receivers facing down on the front, and (2) at the rear of the truck. Then I made aluminum bracketry to attach to the bumpers, and to go up inside the hitch receivers on the truck to mount the bumpers. The bumpers are removeable by pulling stainless coupler pins. Of course I added anti-theft features to the pins so no one can just pull them and steal the bumpers.

Vossen HF5 wheels. 22/10.5
Michelin Pilot PS4 SUV 315/35/22. I did the calculations and they’re less than 1” different from factory tire/wheel size
Steeda subframe supports
Steeda diff brace
Whoosh diff bolt
CV Fab FMIC
Thermal 3”
JXB drive shaft coupler
Eibach springs
Billet vertical links
HSF oil pan cover
Pennzoil ultra
OEM oil filter

Still waiting on:
FenFab Hot&cold piping
Tial BOV
JXB trans mount
Black badges

The plan is to be under the car once and take the bumper off once

The car has been outside as more and more parts arrived. Needless to say, the wife isn’t happy. I’m hopeing the trans mount arrives this week so I can install everything and get my garage back. I at least need the car lowered to ensure the tires fit
